# The Money in Your Destiny Has Its Fixed Amount

Whether a person will become wealthy can be seen by looking at the people around them. The circle you are in determines what your earning looks like. People cannot choose their birth, but they can choose who to walk alongside. Get close to diligent people, and you won't be able to stay lazy; get close to people with vision, and you won't be able to be petty; get close to the light, follow the light, and one day, you too will become the light in others' eyes.

How far you can see determines how far you can go. People cannot earn money beyond their cognition, nor can they keep gains obtained from short-sightedness. For the same thing, some people see opportunity, some see risk, and some see nothing at all. The difference between the poor and the rich has never been about the depth of pockets, but the length of vision.

No matter how good an idea is, if you don't take action, it's just fantasy. The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago; the second best time is now. You don't need to be amazing before you start, but only by starting can you gradually become amazing. Many people aren't lacking opportunities—they've fallen on the road of "thinking too much and doing too little." Even if those who take action move slowly, they're still closer to their goal than those standing still. People at the foot of the mountain will never know the view from the summit—but the moment you're willing to take one step, the path is beneath your feet.
