Your relationship with wealth is more important than wealth itself.

The definition of wealth should be diversified, and it is definitely not just about the money in your pocket or the numbers in your bank account.

Your network is your wealth.
Your experience = wealth
Your ability = wealth
Your time = wealth

The money you spend = The wealth you enjoy
The money you lost = the experiences and lessons you gained.

Your perspective and attitude towards money = your feelings about wealth

Bifurcation: Explicit Wealth vs Implicit Wealth
Money/Car/House = Explicit Wealth
Ability/Experience/Connections = Implicit Wealth

Bifurcation: Subjective Wealth vs Objective Wealth
Having money but still feeling scarce, unfulfilled = subjective poor + objective rich
Inner wealth, actual assets are not that abundant = Subjective rich + Objective middle class

An experience that only has money, without the loss of money, and without the joy of spending money, I feel that its sense of wealth is incomplete and lacking. It is more like a miser.

A true wealthy person should encompass the flow of money. Having made a lot of money, spent a lot of money, and lost a lot of money, this way their perception of wealth will be more three-dimensional and closer to the truth.

Take Jia Yueting as an example. Despite his current financial troubles, he is truly someone who has experienced great heights. His wealth potential and mindset are far superior to many billionaires.

Just like noble temperament, the experience of losing and spending money is actually an essential path to nurturing or shaping a person's financial luck; otherwise, they would just be a stingy "rich person."

Our true understanding and insight into money cannot be obtained solely through making money; we must also spend money, and even lose money, to truly penetrate its nature.

Every time I think about this, my experience of losing millions, tens of millions, or even billions quickly transforms into my unique advantage—someone who has experienced losses of tens of millions or billions has a deeper understanding of money. Additionally, psychological resilience and elasticity are clearly higher than average.

After all, this is not something that everyone can experience. Using the theory of embodied cognition to interpret this, it is called non-cognitive skills. If you are not the person involved, you cannot understand.

It's like you've never seen an ice cube before; no matter how much someone explains it to you, you'll still look confused.

Those who have earned tens of millions are definitely more psychologically capable and have a broader perspective on wealth than those who have only earned a few million (logically and in terms of perception).

People who have made tens of millions and also lost tens of millions definitely have a deeper perception of money (logically and intuitively) than those who have only made tens of millions.

A person who has earned tens of millions, lost tens of millions, and then earned tens of millions again, is definitely the one who is more well-rounded.

Measuring a person's total wealth should not only involve looking at the current wealth figures, but also considering their past wealth experiences. Long-term potential and past advantages should also be included in the assessment criteria.
