Chapter 650 Why do people worry about money?

If the consortium can bet on both sides of politics, why can't I?

Aren’t you trying to strike us Asians? I will simply tie all the Turkish and Australian financial groups to the chariot and see how you can strike us.

When he thought of his remaining business, the corners of Chen Xi's mouth began to rise.

"I'm so tired. I haven't done delivery work for a long time. My back and waist ache and my legs are cramping." After taking a shower, Chen Xi lay down on the bed in his shorts.

He has now gotten used to living with Jin Nana and doesn't feel embarrassed to wear shorts when sleeping.

Anyway, both of them were naked, and the other party had put Chen Xi in manual transmission, so he just gave up.

"Why do you just lie down on the bed when you get home every day? Are you that tired?" Jin Nana's voice suddenly came from behind, followed by the sound of taking off clothes.

Chen Xi responded weakly while lying on the bed. His eyelids were drooping from all the talking outside today.

Suddenly, he felt his body sink. Jin Nana sat on him and said, "Lie down. I'll help you relax."

"Oh." Chen Xi agreed subconsciously and moved to the center of the bed.

"Come back to Kimchi Country with me this year to meet my parents. I have already told them about you."

"Huh? Oh oh."

"Why, don't you want to?"

"No, it's just a little too sudden. I'm afraid your brother..."

"What does our business have to do with him?"

"Oh, so how did your parents react when they heard about my story?"

"Don't worry about it. Just come back with me when the time comes. Of course, your family is well off, so why are you still not confident?"

"No, I'm not unconfident at all. I'm just afraid that you are unconfident..." Chen Xi suddenly laughed.

Would I be unconfident?
"I ask you something. Answer it honestly."

"Well, you said."

"What exactly is the medicine you give me every day?"

"Um... vitamins..."

Jin Nana's words were like a needle, which made Chen Xi sober up instantly, and he mumbled a lie.

"Ah! What are you doing?"

Chen Xi suddenly felt his arms tighten, and his hands were suddenly pulled behind his back and tied.

He tried to resist, but found that he couldn't move his hands at all.

He seemed to be bound by a pair of handcuffs...

Jin Nana looked at the sexy handcuffs she bought at Sexy Land and couldn't help but sneered, "Do you think I'm a fool? Those are not vitamins at all. The label on the bottle is handwritten. I bought many kinds of vitamins outside, but none of them are in that shape!"

"Oh, how would I know what medicine the doctor prescribed for you? It's just vitamins anyway. Vitamins are produced by many manufacturers. How could they all have the same shape?" Chen Xi continued to be stubborn.

"Hmph, you still dare to lie? Look at my great memory recovery skills!" Jin Nana stood up, put her feet on Chen Xi's back, and her fists made a crackling sound.

"Ah~"

A few minutes later, Chen Xi's screams continued to be heard in the bedroom.

In the next room, Saori started her daily routine again. She took the cup back from the wall, looked at the wall in confusion and said, "What is Chen Xi yelling about? Forget it, I won't go over. Then you'll accuse me of being petty and jealous..."

An hour later, Chen Xi was lying naked on the bed like mud, with his whole body aching.

Jin Nana sneered and took out a piece of toilet paper to wipe her hands and said, "Tell me, what exactly do you feed me every day?"

"It's just some tranquilizers. The doctor said you need to rest."

"Really?"

Looking at the weak man, Jin Nana leaned closer and asked.

"Yeah." Chen Xi nodded vigorously.

"I'm going to take a shower first, and I'll deal with you when I come back!"

Jin Nana snorted coldly, turned around, took off her soiled nightgown, and walked into the bathroom.

"Fuck! Let me go first! My arms are about to break. Where did you get these handcuffs?" Chen Xi shouted while lying on the bed, but the only response he got was the sound of the bathroom door closing.

The next day, Didi University.

"Chen Xi, what's wrong with you? Did you go jogging this morning?" Looking at the man yawning on the table, Shi Tao patted his back.

"Chen Xi works very hard and must be very busy. Don't disturb him to rest. Do you think everyone is like you, playing games every day?" Li Yuqing slapped Shi Tao's hand away and looked at the person lying on the table with tenderness on her face.

"The teacher is here."

"Chen Xi, it's bad, it's bad, I have something important to tell you."

At this time, the teacher and Chenxu entered the classroom together. Chenxu was sweating profusely and no one knew what he was in a hurry for. He even bumped into the teacher when he entered the door.

The teacher didn't care, but just glared at the fat man not far away with some dissatisfaction.

"What's the matter? Have the Australian officials banned the export of garbage?" Chen Xi asked weakly, lying on the table. He was tortured enough by Jin Nana yesterday.

“No…no…yes…”

"Student, it's class time now. Why don't you come upstairs and speak so loudly?"

Before Chen Xu could finish his words, he was ruthlessly interrupted by the teacher.

The teacher on the stage had a stern face. Chen Xu didn't want to fail the course for no reason, so he turned around.

He picked up his phone and was about to send a text message to Chen Xi, but he heard the teacher shouting again: "Is my class so hard to listen? You play with your phone as soon as you enter the classroom. Do some people come to class just for the attendance rate? Let me tell you, some students can pass the paper by hiring a ghostwriter, but if you don't listen carefully, you will fail the final exam and will have to retake it next semester..." Seeing that the teacher was a little angry, Chen Xu quickly put the phone back into his trouser pocket like a good baby.

"Everyone will inevitably experience anxiety in their daily lives, and this emotion often has the characteristics of gradually amplifying from a small to a significant impact. From a psychological perspective, anxiety is not a problem that can be simply "solved", because directly confronting or trying to eliminate anxiety may often backfire, leading to further aggravation of anxiety and forming a negative emotional cycle. In most cases, people tend to adopt problem-solving strategies to deal with anxiety, but this tendency sometimes causes individuals to fall into a state of overthinking or "going off on a tangent", which is called "rumination" in psychology, that is, repeatedly and passively thinking about negative events and their potential consequences, without constructive coping strategies.

The human brain has a natural tendency to over-focus and magnify potential threats or uncertainties, which is a protective mechanism formed during human evolution, but in modern society, this mechanism sometimes leads to unnecessary psychological burden. The sources of anxiety can be varied, ranging from major life events to the cumulative effect of daily trivialities. Its roots are often complex and vary from person to person.

The key to effective strategies for dealing with anxiety is to adopt techniques from behavioral psychology and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). First, increase positive and beneficial activities through behavioral activation techniques to divert attention and improve emotional state. Second, use cognitive restructuring techniques to help individuals identify and challenge negative thinking patterns that cause anxiety, reassess situations from a more realistic and positive perspective, and thus reduce unnecessary worries and fears. In addition, relaxation training, mindfulness meditation and other methods are also effective means of relieving anxiety. They can help individuals learn how to manage physical reactions and improve their ability to regulate emotions..."

As the teacher was talking, he walked up to Chen Xu, tapped the table gently and said, "Student, you have been very anxious since you entered the class. I have been teaching until now, and your eyes have been looking to the side from time to time... There are many reasons for people to be anxious, some are because of money, some are because of feelings... Which kind of anxiety are you feeling today?"

"Money..." Chen Xu thought about it and finally uttered a word.

"There are many people who are anxious because they have no money. Individuals' dissatisfaction with their own financial situation often leads to various attribution tendencies, including attributing it to the economic conditions of their original family, their own bad luck, and even dissatisfaction with the social system. Among these attributions, the view that the responsibility is mainly attributed to the original family is the most common. Individuals may think that if their parents have a richer economic foundation, they, as the second generation of the rich, can be free from the trouble of economic anxiety. However, from a psychological perspective, this attribution method may ignore the subjective initiative and psychological adjustment ability of individuals in the process of growth.

In the field of psychology, there is an important concept called "neuroplasticity", which refers to the ability of brain structure and function to change under the influence of experience, learning and environment. This principle reveals that human psychology and behavior are highly variable and adaptable. According to the principle of brain plasticity, individuals can actively intervene in and reshape their own mental state by adjusting their own thinking patterns, emotional reactions and behavioral habits.

In educational psychology, we emphasize the individual's "Self-Determination Theory" and "Growth Mindset". Self-Determination Theory believes that humans have intrinsic motivations to pursue autonomy, competence and relatedness, and these motivations are the key forces driving individual growth and development. Growth Mindset emphasizes that when individuals face challenges and difficulties, they have a belief that their abilities can be continuously improved through hard work and learning.

Therefore, for those individuals who are anxious about the economic conditions of their family of origin, it is important to realize that although childhood environment and family background have a certain impact on individual growth, they are by no means decisive. By cultivating autonomy, competence and relatedness in self-determination and establishing a growth mindset, individuals can actively seek ways to change their own situation.

Although the economic conditions of the original family may have a certain impact on the growth of individuals, individuals are fully capable of achieving self-change and growth through psychological means such as brain plasticity, self-determination, growth mentality and cognitive reconstruction..."

Chen Xu rolled his eyes as he listened to the teacher's words.

What the hell is going on? I never said anything bad about my family background.

However, Li Yuqing was very excited after hearing this, and quickly said, "Teacher, I think what you said is wrong. What you just said is all theoretical, or in other words, chicken soup for the soul. People with bad families are more difficult to develop than others, and even if they work hard, it is difficult to cross the class. There are too few cases of poor people turning over a new leaf in life. There is a saying that hard work can lead to success, but I strongly disagree with this saying. If hard work can lead to success, there won't be so many people failing."

Chen Xi knew that Li Yuqing always said that her original family was not good, her parents were incompetent and her family was not harmonious.

Whether she encounters difficulties in her career or problems in her relationship, Li Yuqing often talks about the difficulties of her original family.

Simply put, it's just making excuses!

Trying to gain sympathy from others and cover up one's own mistakes by saying one's family background is bad and one has been hurt.

However, every time Li Yuqing quarreled with him, these little tricks were ignored by Chen Xi, which made her look angry and embarrassed in the end.

The teacher looked at the rude girl who suddenly interrupted him and said, "From a psychological point of view, what you expressed is partly due to a psychological state called 'learned helplessness'. This psychological state refers to the belief that after an individual has experienced continuous failures or setbacks, he or she will not be able to change the status quo no matter how hard he or she tries.

However, psychological research shows that "learned helplessness" is not irreversible. In fact, it can be changed through cognitive restructuring and positive psychological intervention. Cognitive restructuring refers to establishing a more positive and adaptive cognitive framework by identifying and challenging negative thinking patterns. This technique can help individuals see that although their original family or social background may bring certain limitations, their personal efforts and strategic choices can still largely determine their future development direction.

In addition, attribution theory points out that people tend to attribute success or failure to internal factors (such as ability and effort) or external factors (such as luck and environment). You tend to attribute the lack of success to external factors, such as your family of origin and social class, which to some extent limits your self-efficacy, that is, the belief that you have the ability to achieve your goals.

However, self-efficacy can be enhanced through successful experiences, vicarious experiences (observing others’ success), social persuasion (positive feedback from others), and improved emotional states. This means that even if you are currently facing challenges, by actively seeking learning opportunities, building a supportive social network, and adjusting your mindset, you can gradually improve your self-efficacy and face difficulties in life with greater confidence.

The concept of 'growth mindset' in psychology is in stark contrast to your view. Growth mindset believes that personal abilities and intelligence can be developed through continuous effort and learning. This mindset encourages individuals to face challenges, learn from failures, and constantly strive for improvement. It emphasizes the value of hard work and believes that success is the result of effort, strategy, and persistence, rather than simply determined by the starting point.

Therefore, I hope you can re-examine your beliefs and try to enhance your intrinsic motivation and confidence in the future through cognitive reconstruction, positive psychological intervention, and cultivating a growth mindset.

Remember, while reality may be challenging, your efforts and choices still have tremendous potential to lead you to a more positive and fulfilling future…”

The teacher talked a lot, but Li Yuqing was confused.

Not only her, many Asian students also felt confused.

In psychology classes at various universities, most of the students are foreigners. For Asians, language is a big problem, not to mention that it involves a deeper understanding.

Psychology originated from philosophy, so it also involves some philosophical issues, such as individual self-awareness, the pursuit of meaning and purpose, ethical and moral considerations, etc.

To be honest, most people still find it difficult to understand this lesson.

Chen Xi agrees with the teacher's point of view.

He also thinks that people can be completely changed, and one should not complain about where he grew up or what his parents were like. That was your childhood, and when you grow up you can completely change yourself.

Although Chen Xi came from a good family, he also experienced a low period in his previous life.

He felt a little inferior inside, but he never complained about anything. If he had to complain, it was about his own choices.

He thinks that people who like to complain about this and that and never look for the reasons within themselves deserve to fail.

If a person has problems with cognition, how can he succeed?
"Well, I think you may not understand what I just said, so let me say it another way. If you think that hard work will not succeed and that hard work is useless. Even if you are born well and your parents are rich, you may end up with nothing. There are many such cases in real life. A rich kid squandered the efforts of several generations and ended up becoming a homeless person.

Let me give you a real case from the United States. This case may make you understand more deeply the importance of personal choice and effort.

In the United States, there is an actor named Robert Downey Jr., whose story is full of ups and downs. Although his family is not wealthy in the traditional sense, he did experience the loss of wealth and social status due to poor personal choices when he was young.

Robert Downey was born into an acting family. His father is a well-known film director and his mother is also an actress. Such a family background provided him with abundant resources and opportunities, which should have been a boost in his life. However, young Robert fell into the quagmire of drugs and alcohol, which not only seriously affected his career, but also made him lose the trust of his family and friends.

During that period, Robert had squandered almost all of his wealth and fame, and even faced imprisonment. His life had fallen into a trough, and he looked like a tramp who was about to be forgotten by society. But it was this difficult experience that made him reflect deeply on his behavior and decide to make changes.

Through quitting drugs, psychological counseling and continuous efforts, Robert Downey not only stood up again, but also won the love and respect of the global audience again with his outstanding performance in the "Iron Man" series of films. He not only restored his wealth and fame, but more importantly, he found himself and became a more mature and responsible person.

This case tells us that no matter what your background is, personal choice and hard work are the key factors that determine your future destiny. Robert Downey overcame great difficulties through his own efforts and achieved a reversal of life..."

"But... I'm a woman! I can't do everything like a man. Women have to give birth to children and take care of the family..." Li Yuqing continued to quibble and used the same tricks as the little fairies in China.

"I don't understand what you are trying to say. Australia is a country where men and women are equal. Why can't women work the same as men? Maybe women are in a disadvantaged position in certain workplaces, or maybe they can't do some physical work. But at the same time, there are some jobs that women can do that men can't do! What exactly do you want to say?" The teacher really didn't quite understand the thinking of Chinese women. In his impression, Asian women in other countries didn't seem to think this way.

Li Yuqing was rebuked and angrily crossed her arms and said, "I can't explain it to you."

At this time, it was time for a break. The teacher looked at his watch and didn't want to miss the coffee time, so he chose to end the get out of class quickly.

"Oh, the get out of class is finally over. I was so anxious." Chen Xu suddenly turned around and looked at Chen Xi.

"What's wrong with you? Didn't you say that Australia doesn't ban the export of garbage? Is the equipment broken?" Chen Xi yawned.

"No, Australia does not prohibit the export of garbage, but China prohibits the acceptance of garbage here..."

"Ah?" Chen Xi stood up from the stool after hearing this.

Overseas garbage disposal is his most profitable business at the moment, so how could something go wrong? (End of this chapter)
