There are things you must know first — only then can the results come to you.
Especially when it comes to wealth, money, and financial success.
In truth, this article should have been written long ago, because every word in it was distilled from hard-won wisdom — insights I gathered after finally completing my own wealth accumulation, looking back at everything I had been through.
But then, in the relentless sprint forward, I slowly forgot about this.
Last night, while analyzing the destiny framework (格局) of one of my readers, I said something to her: A woman cannot go through life without suffering — because much of your growth comes through pain and hardship.
But you cannot keep suffering the same pain over and over again. Because that only proves you haven’t figured things out yet.
I know this sounds cold-blooded. But I say it with a sense of resignation.
Let me talk about something casually, drawing from a recent hit reality show and a few real cases I’ve come across.
Milla is one of my longest-standing readers — she’s been following me for six years now.
I still remember who she was back then: completely absorbed in career and wealth, coming to me every year for a destiny framework (格局) reading with her eyes fixed squarely on professional prospects.
When all is said and done, the root of your problem is this: you have too few “core pillars” in your life — and so they cannot bear the weight of your current existence. That is why you feel crushed by pressure at every turn.
Think about it. If your entire life consists of nothing more than a low-paying job and a partner who does nothing but drain your energy and take your value — then your life will only grow darker with each passing year. The smallest setback will push your emotions and your finances to the brink of collapse.
These past couple of years, we’ve witnessed more than enough of life’s joys and sorrows.
If I’ve come to understand anything from all of it, it boils down to one simple truth: cherish your blessings to find lasting joy; modest contentment surpasses all.
If you quiet your mind and take stock of everything that has happened around you these years, you’ll find that most people have had it genuinely hard.
Recently, extreme tragic events have been happening with alarming frequency — and I feel compelled to write a few words of personal reflection.
I don’t expect these words to change the world in any grand way. But if they can make your world even a tiny bit warmer and brighter, that is already the best outcome I could hope for. ☀️
1 — If you’ve been wronged or you’re feeling down, you’re welcome to share what’s on your heart in my comments section anytime. I may not reply, but I will silently send you my blessings.
You see, many people say that before entering into marriage, you should evaluate your potential partner across every dimension — family background, parents, character, conduct, capability, intimacy compatibility, shared values, and so on and so forth.
All of the above genuinely matter. If someone scores high on every single one of them, of course that’s ideal.
But here’s the thing.
I — Master Chi — have helped so many couples step into marriage, guided so many men and women in making excellent matches, and seen them through the adjustment period to build stable, lasting families.
One of the most profound realizations I’ve come to is this: as my age and net worth have gradually risen, my desire to consume has actually moved in the opposite direction — steadily downward.
It’s not that I don’t enjoy spending money. It’s that earning money gives me a far deeper sense of satisfaction.
Especially when you’re absolutely certain that a sum invested — a single concentrated effort — will become an enduring, ever-flowing stream of new wealth. In that moment, you suddenly realize: spending money on consumption is genuinely… pointless.
A reader left a comment asking me: “Master, though I deeply love your articles and your thinking, have you ever considered that your writing is sometimes too sharp — that it might unintentionally wound certain people?”
Tonight I want to address this directly. Master Chi’s writing has had one goal from beginning to end: to help you understand what the so-called “Heavenly Way” (天道) truly is.
What is the Heavenly Way? At its core — ruthless, merciless, and brutally real.
1 — In principle, I still hope Trump becomes the new president of the Eagle Nation — not just because it makes for good drama, but because his dealmaking style would actually open up more “overall strategic room” for us.
2 — The reasoning is simple: for a global force of our scale, we’re no longer particularly vulnerable to any single party’s deliberate targeting. What still constrains us is “collective isolation engineered by an entire bloc.”
