Why making fast money will ruin a person?
We often hear people around us joking: “The only solution to your problem is winning a lottery...” It seems that winning a lottery can solve all problems. Is that really the case?

He’s been in a few relationships, every time when his girlfriend talked about marriage, they always end up breaking up. After several times, he lost his confidence.
One night, when he was drinking with his colleague, Adam got himself drunk and complain about his situation to his colleague. Out of nowhere, his colleague said: “It is easy to get rich overnight, just buy lottery! "

People say that there is no free lunch in the world. Get rich overnight is a pie from the sky, but also a trap of life.
When a person does not have the ability and lack of sufficient power that required to manage the wealth, the final outcome will only be a tragedy.
These two years, after witnessing the ups and downs of Bitcoin, cryptocurrency and blockchain once became the hottest word on the Internet. From this, many people get rich overnight, there are also many people lose everything overnight and committed suicide.

Those whom God wishes to destroy, he first makes mad. -- Euripides
And getting rich overnight is a start for an ordinary person to become mad. In these two years, many young people have fought valiantly to earn money without a bottom line on the live internet platform.
The most essential difference between the getting rich overnight and those who make their own wealth is that the latter is a snowball and the snowball is getting bigger, while the former can only wait for the snowball to melt bit by bit.
In the process of making money, you accumulate not only wealth, but also ability, resources, and connections. Once you have the ability to earn 1 million, you will also earn more than 1 million, which is 10,000 times more important than the wealth itself.
But the unexpected wealth, in addition to the extra string of zeros in your bank account, there is nothing else.
Everything in excess is bad, and for someone who has little, a sudden fortune is excessive.
I would never trust easy roads or shortcuts, like the lottery, to achieve the objectives, they are always more harmful than beneficial.
