Have you noticed that many people never make big money in their lifetime, not because of lack of ability, but because they are held back by "face" (ego, pride).



When young, they always think that bending down to earn small money is shameful, that setting up a stall or starting a business will be laughed at, that seeking advice from someone more successful is being servile, and even for the so-called "dignity," they would rather stick to a stable job with a monthly salary of 3,000 and not dare to step out of their comfort zone to try new possibilities.

But the reality is, this thing called "face" is always something you give yourself, not something others give you. When your pockets are empty, you can't provide the life your family wants, and when you encounter difficulties and can only be helpless, those so-called "face" is nothing but a self-deceiving cover-up.

People who have truly seen the world understand that making money is never a shameful thing. It is your confidence to face life's storms, your way to realize self-worth, and your ability to give your family a sense of security. To make a living, you lower yourself; to achieve your goals, you work steadily; for the future, you endure humiliation and burden. This is not humility, but clear-headed pragmatism, the dignity that adults should have.

Those who mock you for "putting aside face to make money" either have never experienced the embarrassment of being short of money or are themselves unsuccessful and cannot stand seeing others work hard. When you rely on your own hands to gradually improve your life, fill your wallet, and live the way you want, you will find that the so-called "face" has long become insignificant in front of your real achievements.

Face is虚的, money is real.虚的 face cannot support a genuine life; only the confidence in your hands can make you stand tall in life.

Stop being hostage to "face." Let go of unnecessary obsessions. Don't be afraid of being laughed at, don't fear starting from a low point, and don't worry about temporary setbacks. You must know that those who dare to put aside face to make money are the bravest and wisest.

When you truly earn money, gain the right to choose, have the ability to protect your family, and enjoy the freedom from being controlled by life, you will understand: true face has never been about living in others' opinions, but about living with your own confidence.
