As long as you have a boss above you, they absolutely do not want you to read what Master Chi has written for you here.
Because once you truly understand what’s written in this article, it won’t be long before you start building your own career and wealth through your own abilities.
Rather than spending your whole life diligently adding bricks to someone else’s empire.
I’ve scolded certain close readers more than once: Why is your thinking so muddled? Your destiny chart clearly shows such promising prospects — so why are you still foolishly dedicating your precious energy and years to a company that treats you as average, or even deliberately suppresses and sidelines you?
When will you finally start thinking seriously about your own future?
When will you eat from someone else’s plate until you’re sick of it — and only then wake up to the truth that your future is only reliable when it’s in your own hands?
As the old saying goes: the wisest need no teaching, the capable learn from words, the ordinary learn from events, and the hopeless cannot be taught at all.
Master Chi has always believed that as my reader, you absolutely have the wisdom of the first tier — so many things don’t need to be spelled out. A subtle nudge, and you’ll grasp it.
Tonight, with your future in mind, I have a few heartfelt truths I want you to understand:
1 — The most dangerous trap in life is being brainwashed by the “employee mindset” — a herbivore’s way of thinking.
Once this mindset takes root in your head, you can basically say goodbye to any great future.
Burn this into your memory: do not invest too much emotion in working for others. Don’t be naive enough to think that however much you’ve contributed and sacrificed, others should therefore admire and respect you.
The true essence of employment is this: collect the money, get the job done, accumulate real capability, and ultimately seek advancement.
Everything else is empty promises.
Especially for people over 30 — stop being so charmingly naive about basking in your boss’s praise, feeling that your efforts have finally been recognized and feeling happy about it.
Grow up. Real recognition always comes with concrete benefits — real money. Anyone feeding you nothing but flattery and empty words is simply wasting your future.
2 — To become a great tree, don’t compete with the grass. Keep your eyes fixed upward — that is the mark of a truly smart person.
Stop obsessing over the petty scheming and backstabbing of office politics. That’s completely beneath mention — child’s play. If you take that nonsense seriously, it only proves you deserve to be stuck at that level, locked in battle with the rats and roaches around you.
I’ve had readers come to me for destiny readings and career guidance, and the contrast is stark. The clear-headed ones ask: “Master, my current work environment is toxic — full of petty people, troublemakers, and backstabbers. How do I get out as quickly as possible and move somewhere with better pay and more opportunities?”
The foolish ones ask the opposite: “Master, how do I dominate all these petty people, troublemakers, and backstabbers? I just can’t swallow this insult!”
When I hear questions like this, I can only shake my head and answer: The nature of rats and roaches never changes. Your only option is to escape from that toxic bottom rung as fast as possible — not to fantasize about reforming their characters.
3 — You must learn to read politics, understand which way the wind is blowing, and grasp trends — otherwise you will remain a ground-level employee forever.
I’ve shared this concept with nearly every reader who has genuine insight and real potential: in any platform or field, if you don’t understand politics, you will never be invited into the game at higher levels — and you will forever hover below the middle tier.
What is politics? A line from Chairman Mao sums up the entire truth: make your friends as many as possible, and your enemies as few as possible.
Applied to real life: speak less harshly, do more good deeds, and consistently offer help, collaboration, tangible benefits, and emotional value to people worth cultivating.
As for those with nothing real to offer — maintain a polite distance. Don’t offend, don’t provoke. Simply coexist in peace.
4 — Don’t be afraid to change environments, change industries, or begin a new chapter.
Some people who come to Master Chi for destiny readings — especially those in middle age — show astonishing timidity. They’re clearly stuck in a sunset industry, yet they can’t see reality for what it is.
The ending for these people is simple: no matter how talented they are, their future will eventually go down with that great ship being phased out by the times, sinking together to the bottom of the sea.
Let me be direct: if you’re truly determined to see your future clearly, you must be mentally prepared to face reality.
Let me offer you one more line: a transplanted tree dies, but a transplanted person thrives. Never sacrifice your own growth and forward movement for the sake of temporary security.
And don’t use so-called “caution and prudence” as an excuse to hold yourself back.
Caution and prudence means using rational, deep thinking to make decisions and then act on them — not sitting on the sidelines like a fool, watching and waiting indefinitely.
What’s fascinating is that some readers are genuinely very capable and talented — but they’ve been held back by the garbage industry they’re trapped in. Once I helped clarify their thinking and pointed them toward a better direction, they immediately unleashed extraordinary momentum. Income, wealth, noble benefactors (Gui Ren), opportunities — all came pouring in like a flood through an open gate.
So the old saying “birds perch on high branches, people seek high positions” is truly simple, honest truth.
5 — Understand this clearly: career tragedies for adults are, at their core, almost always self-inflicted.
I strongly dislike it when my readers come to the comments whimpering: “Master, please guide me — I’m facing serious difficulties at work, I might even lose my position. What should I do?”
Anyone who asks like this has absolutely not thought through where their own root problem lies.
Here’s the truth: virtually anyone between the ages of 30 and 55 with an unstable career is playing out the same pattern of foolish logic, over and over again.
After years of hard work, they feel they’ve established some standing and seniority in their position — so they develop a coasting attitude, forgetting that they are ultimately just a slightly higher-paid employee, not a true stakeholder.
Then, over the following years, they foolishly rest on their meager past achievements, bragging to everyone about their former glories.
The result? Well… you already know.
Yet the vast majority of readers who have come to me for destiny readings and career guidance almost never encounter this problem. Why?
Because Master Chi will make one thing very clear to you: here is exactly who you should be building relationships with right now — what connections, noble benefactors (Gui Ren), and opportunities to pursue.
Then, how to convert those resources into real assets for yourself — career leverage you can cash in at any moment, or even the capital to launch your own business.
Which risks you need to sidestep in advance, which situations to stay far away from, to avoid being dragged into the mud or having your future compromised.
The career landscape for ordinary people is truly not a difficult puzzle. As long as you know how to read the question and follow the right steps, there’s no way you can get it wrong.
Two more points — smaller, but still crucial:
6 — In the workplace, what matters is results. Everything else, frankly, no one cares about.
So make it a priority to quickly understand your superior’s working habits and daily rhythms. Arrange your work proactively every time, so they consistently see your prepared, cooperative attitude and delivered results.
More importantly, be crystal clear in your own mind: what is your superior’s core expectation of you in your role?
Once you’re clear on that, fulfill it to the maximum extent — ideally, fulfill the core expectations of multiple leaders at once. Over time, when others see that you understand how to operate and think clearly, they will naturally become noble benefactors (Gui Ren) who open doors for you.
7 — From Master Chi’s perspective, spending an entire life as a salaried employee is a tragic absurdity.
I know that line cuts deep. But it’s precisely because I believe “a lifetime of employment” severely underestimates you that I feel this way.
Let me be honest: unless you’re climbing smoothly through a true industry leader and capturing every dividend at every stage — you need to face reality.
Working for others is how you accumulate the foundation for your future business and career. Employment is always the process. Building your own independent venture is the ultimate destination.
Of course, you don’t need to throw everything aside right now, this very moment, and launch a business. You don’t even need to do it in the next couple of years.
But remember this: a horse without night grass grows no fatter; a person without windfall income grows no richer.
The vast majority of people who ultimately achieve career success and lasting wealth — beyond their primary work, they almost all have small ventures they hold equity in.
And this is truly what Master Chi hopes for you: beyond your main career, you have a side venture of your own — something that brings wealth and opportunity — along with other business angles worth pursuing.
If you’ve resigned yourself to fate, decided you should spend your whole life earning that one small salary and burning yourself out doing it — I have nothing more to say.
But if you’re willing to read your destiny clearly, and give yourself and your family a more comfortable life — read what follows carefully, and let’s have a real conversation.
