The secret of the rich

The secret of the rich.

People are faced with countless choices in their lives. In a way, life itself can be said to be a series of choices. Selection is a factor that causes the result, and all results vary depending on the selection. If life itself is a series of choices, it means that the wiser you make, the wiser you can live.

There are choices with correct answers, and there are choices that do not. You don't have to think about a choice with an answer. Because there is an answer. It's "1+1=2". Even if the absolute majority claims to be "1+1=3", it is meaningless. The choice with the answer never has to follow the majority.

 

Then, what should you do when making a choice without an answer, precisely at the time of selection, where the answer is completely unknown? Perhaps many people follow the decisions chosen by the majority. Suppose, for example, there are choices A and B, and out of 100, 80 chose A and 20 chose B. Which one will you choose between A and B? Perhaps many people choose A as 80%, so they choose A. In fact, this is a very reasonable choice. The probability that the judgment of the majority and the judgment of collective intelligence are right is far higher empirically.

In the past, in an advertisement, I promoted it with a similar phrase, "A person who shouts No! when everyone says Yes." In fact, it is very difficult to say No at the time when everyone says Yes. This is because you have to walk on a lonely path, and you have to turn yourself upside down when shouting "No" completely for the choice.

So what criteria should I make a wise and reasonable choice? First, it is necessary to recognize that the current position is the result of one's own choice. If you are satisfied with your current position and live a happy life, you are more likely to live such a life in the future if you apply the criteria for choice you have made so far. However, if you are not satisfied with the current reality and want something to be better, you have to make a different choice than now. This is because, as mentioned earlier, life is a series of choices. It is a great contradiction to always make similar choices in the same pattern and hope that life will improve.

We are currently living in a capitalist society. Capitalism has economic power. Everyone wants to be rich. Then, do the rich among the members of society belong to the absolute majority? Or is it in the minority? Naturally, the rich are the minority, and the common people account for the absolute majority. Then we can get a hint here. In other words, it can be inferred that the group who made a choice different from the general wisdom of society is very likely to be rich. I'm not saying to blindly object to the will of the absolute majority. However, it is not easy for us to know exactly the meaning of the absolute majority in a cool way.

It is clear that the absolute majority opinion is likely to be right. However, it seems certain that this does not work properly when it comes to wealth. In a way, the fact that the rich are a minority may be the answer to the creation of wealth.
