What are the signs that a family or lineage is thriving and failing?

Bernard Shaw once said: "Home is the only place in the world that hides human shortcomings and failures, and at the same time contains sweet love."

Home is the starting point of every life , it is also a place where everyone grows up.

No matter where I travel or how long I have been away from home, it will always be the most precious concern in my heart.

A warm home gives you a destination, and a happy home gives you shelter.

Everyone hopes that their home can carry their countless beautiful memories and prosper forever.

The ups and downs of a family business cannot be controlled by an individual, but often require the joint efforts of several generations to achieve.

A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest.

It is precisely because many people ignore small details that lead to the accumulation of fatigue in the home, and finally collapse when it collapses thousands of miles away.

Before a family declines, there are always signs to follow. If these three strange things happen frequently, please be vigilant. Children and grandchildren who do not learn well will be plagued by bad habits

The rise and fall of a family depends on both current management and future hopes.

No one can live forever. When a generation dies, a new generation is needed to take over.

After all, just relying on the efforts of one generation can only maintain short-term prosperity. No matter how big a family business is, it will have no successors and can only reach the end of the road.

If the children and grandchildren fail to learn the merits of their ancestors and instead acquire bad habits, the decline of the family business will become a destiny.

Throughout the feudal dynasties in Chinese history, the founding monarchs of each dynasty did not necessarily have great talents and great plans, but they must have excelled in some aspect.

When a dynasty is passed down to future generations, the once great achievements often come to naught in just a few years due to the prodigal behavior of a mediocre lord.

The first unified Qin Dynasty, the second generation died. The Sui Dynasty, which unified the troubled times, fell apart in just two generations of monarchs. The Western Jin Dynasty, where three families returned to Jin, only passed down four emperors. , Guozuo, who has only been in power for more than fifty years.

The collapse of these dynasties is directly related to the ignorance and incompetence of the family heads.

Qin Huhai listened to Zhao Gao's slander and abandoned the government; Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guangma built construction projects and harmed the people; and the fool emperor Sima Zhong of the Western Jin Dynasty even said "Why not eat minced meat" when the people were in famine? Ridiculous words.

As the saying goes: "You can't be poor for three generations, and you can't be rich for three generations." This is exactly the truth. The decline of a family begins with the failure of its children and grandchildren. Once the family tradition is ruined, it will be difficult to turn back. Life is extravagant and one's wealth is wasted

It is not easy to start a business, but it is easy to waste one's business. Once it begins to decline, it will be difficult to stop the pace of decline.

As the saying goes: "Building a family is like picking up soil with a needle, and losing a family is like water pushing away sand."

The family wealth accumulated by our ancestors, the reputation of generations of management, the scenery and reputation we once had, It can't even afford wanton squandering.

In the movie "Alive", the protagonist Fugui was born in a landlord's family. He has been pampered since childhood and lives a very luxurious life. He only eats and drinks all day long and hangs out in casinos. He looks like a playboy.

He relies on his family's wealth. Although his gambling skills are poor, he is still addicted to food. Even if he loses all his money, it is not enough, and he has to continue gambling on credit.

The owner of the gambling shop knew that Fugui was addicted to gambling. Even though Fugui had lost all his money long ago, he still wanted to trick Fugui into pledging the house deed and land to him.

In the end, Fugui lost everything, and even his ancestral home was lost to the owner of a gambling shop. From a wealthy second-generation son-in-law, he became a miserable and hateful person with a ruined family.

There is never a ruined family fortune, only endless desires.

How many families have just achieved something, and then they start to get carried away, indulge in pleasure, and embark on the road of self-destruction.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

Once you get used to a life of extravagance, and you want to return to your original intention, you have to fight against the greed in your heart.

If you want your family to prosper, you must learn to control your desires, constantly learn and improve, and understand the principles of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.

In this way, the family tradition of diligence, thrift and simplicity can influence everyone in the family and be better inherited and carried forward.

Families are not harmonious, and estrangement gradually develops

The larger the family, the more difficult it is to manage and operate, and the more harmony and care are needed to bond the relationship.

A family with development potential must have a harmonious and warm living atmosphere, otherwise it will not be able to unite as one and advance and retreat together.

For every member of the family, if they only consider themselves and ignore the feelings of others, they will inevitably become estranged.

Although it is human nature to be selfish, it is human nature to give priority to one's own feelings.

But if you live too selfishly, it will not be conducive to the development of the family business, and it will even cause unexpected conflicts.

Gambling king Stanley Ho has married four wives and has 17 children. In addition to having his own huge businesses in Hong Kong and Macau, he has also invested in many industries abroad. He was once among the top richest men in the country.

Such a huge family fortune has naturally become the object of competition for his many wives and children.

As Stanley Ho grew old, his career had to be taken care of by his children. Due to the uneven distribution of family property, his wives and their children went to court many times and became incompatible enemies.

After Stanley Ho's death, the originally huge family fortune had been divided into pieces, and the relationship between his family members was completely stalemate.

The most ironic thing is that Stanley Ho's wish is "I hope that my family can live in harmony."

When people's hearts are broken, family is only a concept in name only.

When the family is harmonious, everyone can bathe in it and enjoy the joy; if the family is not harmonious, the whole day is full of chaos, and no matter how good the foundation is, it is daunting.

Marie Curie once said: "A family that can work closely with each other is the only true happiness in the world."

Family is like a big ship, and everyone is a crew member , only when this big ship runs smoothly can everyone get where they want to go.

Whether a family prospers or declines is determined by every family member. Only by working together, paying and maintaining together can we move in a better direction.

I hope that each of us can have a harmonious and happy family, and be a good person and a blessed person under the nourishment of love.
