### The Mystery Behind Unemployment
**By Xuefeng**
I will never be unemployed, even if I live to be 180 years old. What is the secret behind this?
I have realized three key secrets:
1. Creation
2. Dedication
3. Honesty
By adhering to any one of these three principles, you will never be unemployed. If you embody all three, you will be employed forever.
#### Creation
How did the universe come into existence? Through creation. Why were humans not directly created by The Greatest Creator? Because The Greatest Creator wanted gods and angels to learn to create as well. Why can't humans live without worrying about food, clothing, shelter, health, and death like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden? Because humans must create. Life derives its vitality and joy from creation.
For a creator, there are endless things to do. You can make something out of nothing, add beauty to the world, reach for the moon, or dive to the ocean depths-how can you ever be unemployed?
From my own experience, after graduating from Zhangjiakou Geological Technical School, I worked repairing drilling rigs and cars in Gansu. Unsatisfied, I attended Lanzhou Education College and Jiuquan Education College. After graduation, I became a teacher at a geological school but was still not satisfied. I secretly ordered a shop in Zhangye City to start a car repair and parts business. Later, I gave up on that plan and went to Beijing Foreign Economic and Trade University for advanced training in international trade. I then moved to Zimbabwe as a translator. After two years, I started my own trade business, opening several stores, a bar, a nightclub, a restaurant, and a fast-food outlet in Harare. My ambition was to establish a multinational trading company, but I couldn't find honest managers.
Don’t be fooled by the bustling crowds on the streets. The world’s scarcest resource is not natural resources but people who are creative, willing to dedicate themselves, and honest.
If you ask successful and unsuccessful entrepreneurs, they will tell you the same: the hardest thing to find is not resources, markets, or opportunities, but capable and reliable people.
At one point, I saw opportunities everywhere, but time and energy were insufficient. If I had tried to seize all opportunities, I would have found endless wealth. However, after experiencing a peculiar car accident, I lost interest in making money and shifted my focus to spiritual development. I realized that without spiritual growth, one is bound to face unemployment and setbacks sooner or later.
Can you see it? I have always been in a state of creation, leaving no room for unemployment.
#### Dedication and Contribution
The wisest people in the world are those who selflessly contribute to others, society, and nature, without concern for personal gain. Such individuals will never be unemployed. Employers will compete for them, and even a beggar would prefer their company. Can such people ever be unemployed?
Since 2009, I have dedicated everything to the construction of the Second Home of Lifechanyuan. Over 16 years, I have not become poorer; instead, I have enjoyed the highest honor and a rich life. My advice is to do as much as you can, contribute more, and be willing to serve others without concern for personal loss. This will ensure that your path widens and you are unlikely to ever be unemployed. Wherever you go, whoever you meet, offer your help without hesitation. Serving others can almost guarantee you won't be unemployed.
#### Honesty
Honesty includes keeping promises. Remember, once you give your word, you must keep it. Even if it means personal loss, honor your commitments. Never be clever, never scheme, and never seek unfair advantage. Honesty surpasses all plots and plans, as well as academic qualifications and experience. The most foolish people are those who are overly calculating and self-centered.
As a former small business owner, I understand my employees well. When it comes to layoffs, I know who to let go and who to keep. Everyone you interact with is similarly discerning, so be honest with everyone, especially those with higher intelligence, emotional, and spiritual quotients than you. Honesty is the best policy.
This is the mystery behind unemployment. May you always have work to do and never face unemployment, even if you live to be 800 years old.
