books.
Some of his ancestors were famous
high-ranking officials in the Han Dynasty. His family is very wealthy.
His family's wealth exceeds 200 million.
His family has over 800 servants.
His personality is very kind. When he was a
child, he did not like to catch insects like other children. He believed that
insects were also life, so he could not bear to kill them.
Because his family background is very good,
he has received a good education since he was a child.
Wanting to understand the principles and
logic behind how the world works, he began to study books on divination.
A few years later he became an expert in
divination.
His father died in middle age and he
succeeded his father, who became the heir to all his family's possessions.
One day, a few years later.
He called all the members of his family
together.
He said to all the family members.
There is a sentence in Lao Tzu's book that
I very much agree with. It means that the more you have, the more you lose.
I think I have too much money, which is not
good for me, so I want to use all my money to help the poor people around me.
One of his family heard what he was saying
and said to him.
I don't think you should do this.
You have three sons and two daughters and
many grandchildren.
You should leave this money to your
children and grandchildren and not use all your money to help the poor.
He smiled at the man.
My family has been very rich for many
generations. According to Lao Tzu, too much money and a life of excess will
bring great harm.
My observation is that China will be in
turmoil for the next few years.
My sons are very ignorant and not wise
enough to use the money properly.
If I leave all this money to them, I think
it will bring them disaster, not happiness.
Dear friend, how do you feel or what do you
think after listening to this story?
Do you agree with his views and practices?
Do you think that how much money you have can make you happy?
I hope this story can give you some new
insights.

他是漢王朝一個有著名的命理師。他的名字叫做(折像)。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他有好幾個祖先是漢王朝著名的高級官員。他的家境很富裕。
他的家族的資產超過兩億。他家的僕人超過800個人。
他的個性很仁慈，他小時候不像其他的小孩一樣喜歡抓昆蟲玩，他認為昆蟲也是生命，所以他不忍心殺害昆蟲。
他因為家境很好，所以從小就接受了良好的教育，
因為他想了解掌握這個世界運行的背後的原理與邏輯，所以他開始研究占卜相關的書籍。
幾年後，他成了一個占卜方面的專家。
他的父親在他中年的時候死了，他接替他的父親，他成為他的家族的所有財產的繼承人。
幾年後的一天。
他召集了他的家族中的所有成員。
他對家中所有的成員說。
老子的書中有一句話我非常的認同，這句話的意思是，你擁有的愈多，你失去的就愈大。
我認為我的錢太多了，這對我並不是一件好事，因此我要把我的錢全部拿出來救濟我的周遭那些貧苦的人。
他的家族成員中有一個人聽到他的話後對他說。
我認為你不應該這樣做
你有三個兒子和兩個女兒，你還有很多孫子。
你應該把這些錢留給你的小孩和孫子，你不應該把你的錢全部拿出來救濟那些貧苦的人。
他笑著對這個人說。
我的家族已經好幾代都非常有錢了，根據老子的觀點，太多的錢財與太富裕的生活會帶來極大的禍害。
根據我的觀察，中國未來幾年會陷入動盪之中。
我的兒子們都很愚昧，他們都沒有足夠的智慧去妥善的使用這些金錢。
如果我把這些錢都留給他們，我認為這些錢不會給祂們帶來幸福反而會給他們帶來災禍。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的感受或有怎樣的想法呢。
你是否認同他的看法與作法呢?你認為擁有多少錢才可以讓你覺得幸福嗎?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
