你知道一个人的富贵是从何而来的吗？
Do you know where a person’s wealth comes from?
人的富贵，其实是从两方面而来。
People’s wealth comes from two aspects.
一个是自身的积累。
One is their own accumulation.
比如养成好的习惯，能够坚持努力，能够保持专注，养成自律的能力，坚持提升和磨炼自己。
For example, cultivate good habits, be able to persist in efforts, be able to maintain focus, develop self-discipline ability, and persist in improving and refining yourself.
多做好事，多积累功德，多积累善缘。
Do more good deeds, accumulate more merits and accumulate more good karma.
另一个则是家境的积累。
The other is the accumulation of family.
也是指自己的出生家庭环境。
It also refers to your birth and family environment.
如果出生在穷苦家庭，那么一个人想靠自己扭转整个家族的命运，往往是非常艰难的。
If born in a poor family, it is often very difficult for a person to turn the fate of the whole family by himself.
因为起点太低，甚至自己一个人想大幅度的提升自己的生活都很难。
Because the starting point is too low, it is difficult for even one person to greatly improve his life.
毕竟，走路的，无论多努力，都难以追赶得上开飞机前进的。
After all, no matter how hard you walk, you can hardly catch up with the plane.
比如一些富二代，他们一出生，就会衣食无忧，不用怎么努力，就有车有房等着他们了。
For example, some rich second-generation people will have no worries about food and clothing as soon as they are born. They will have cars and houses waiting for them without much effort.
而普通人，想要赶上他们一出生时的生活水平，可能努力一辈子都赶不上。
However, ordinary people who want to catch up with their living standards at birth may struggle to catch up with them all their lives.
当然，这是他们祖辈、父辈几代人努力的积累。
Of course, this is the accumulation of the efforts of their grandparents and parents.
当然，出生在什么样的家庭，我们无法决定，我们能够做的，就是努力去改变自身，能改变一点算一点。
Of course, we can’t decide what kind of family we are born in. What we can do is to try to change ourselves.
我们改变得越多，我们的子孙后代的起点也越高。
The more we change, the higher the starting point for our future generations.
