Busy tonight, but let me write a short piece. Short as it is, it will truly test your insight. If you understand it, your wealth fortune (财运) for 2025 will be firmly in your grasp.
First, Master Chi wants you to understand this: true, great wealth is never something you grovel and beg for like a desperate fool. Just like good relationships and noble benefactors (Gui Ren, 贵人) — the more you debase yourself chasing them, the further they retreat from you.
1 - No matter what you do, having the courage to take that first step makes the rest of the road far easier to walk. Even if you move along lazily, roughly, and “good enough” — after a while, you’ll find yourself experienced, capable, and increasingly formidable.
2 - Why do most people stay busy their entire lives, only to end up with nothing? Because they are clever with small things and utterly foolish with big ones. They’d rather grind nine to seven, day after day, for decades — pouring their energy into petty office politics, scheming over a few hundred or a few thousand — yet they never invest that same level of time and effort into learning business, investing, or building something real: the things that can actually change a life.
From an objective standpoint, our national strength will continue to grow — not only because of our comprehensive industrial supply chain advantages and decades of steady development, but also because the Eagle (a colloquial term for the United States) is dismantling itself from within. Throughout history, very few world superpowers have been toppled by outside forces. Most are undone by their own internal pressures.
Personally, I don’t consider the Eagle’s other political problems particularly severe. What I pay attention to is the current unchecked spread of drug culture and the runaway influence of what is often called “white left” progressivism.
1 - The more naive and simple-minded the reader, the more likely they are to ask me when I’m analyzing their destiny pattern (命盘): Master, why is it that despite working incredibly hard, having decent credentials, and being reasonably clever in daily life — I still can’t attract good wealth fortune?
Here, through this article, I’ll give you the definitive, top-tier answer openly and clearly: because making money has never had a strong correlation with effort, education, or intelligence. These things add points — but they are not the deciding factor.
I can’t guarantee how long this article will stay up — one careless moment and we’ve wandered into some fairly sensitive territory.
But you know me. Master Chi has never been in the habit of speaking anything but the truth, and I treat every one of my brothers and sisters with the same candid honesty.
So whatever you take away from this — remember it yourself, because every word counts.
Every year-end, it becomes nearly impossible to settle into work — invitations from friends suddenly flood in from all directions. One moment it’s a Feng Shui consultation, the next it’s an annual fortune cycle (流年) reading. These are old friends, so there’s really no way to turn them down.
But over the years, these experiences have given me one deeply-felt conviction: in this life, you truly only need to seize an opportunity and ride one great wave of true wealth fortune — just once — and that is enough.
Hey, has nobody reminded you?
There are only 8 days left until New Year’s Day, and just 5 weeks until the Spring Festival. It’s time to wind down and take stock.
I — Master Chi — hope you’ll use these coming days to slow your pace a little, and give some time back to yourself and your family.
No matter how hard-driven your years of striving have been, every life needs a moment to stop and catch its breath.
These past couple of days have been hectic in a way I can barely explain — part of it was spending time at the hospital with family, and part of it was the sheer number of year-end dinner gatherings that pile up this time of year.
Those dinners have a way of loosening things up once a few drinks go down. Stories start flowing, especially when you get a room full of middle-aged men who’ve actually made something of themselves. The conversation almost always drifts toward their own rise to success.
Let me start with something that sounds mystical — yet proves uncannily accurate.
If you want your wealth fortune and career to truly flourish, the single most important first step is absolutely not to roll up your sleeves and grind harder.
Instead, you must first — carefully and patiently — purge the sorrow ghosts, misfortune deities, and bad-luck stars from your circle.
As long as these people remain a permanent fixture in your life, no matter how much you achieve in this lifetime, you won’t enjoy a single bit of it.
Let me ask you a question first, and no lying: how long has it been since you last opened up and said out loud everything that’s been weighing you down?
I’m asking because I know — this past year, you’ve quietly endured countless sleepless, anxious nights on your own.
During all of that, even when friends or family reached out to check on you, you’d brush it off with a casual: It’s fine, I’m totally over it.
