Don't invite guests into your home casually; this is a hard-earned warning.01 The more people you have come in, the greater the risk. You might think you're just inviting friends over, but they could already be assessing your home in their minds. Aunt Liu from the neighborhood took her mahjong friends home last month, and this Monday morning, she found her balcony pried open—everything stolen was her jewelry she liked to show off. Remember: you treat them as guests, but they might see you as a target.02 Relatives and friends, the most frightening when they turn against you. Old Chen let his cousin stay at his house for half a month, but later, due to disputes over the ancestral land back home, his cousin showed up with photos of the property deed he secretly took to report Old Chen for "illegal expansion"—all those photos were taken during his stay. People’s hearts are hard to read; today they greet you with a smile, tomorrow they might stab you in the back.03 You can't reveal your wealth; if you do, it will bring trouble. Brother Wang loves entertaining clients at home, with Moutai on the liquor cabinet and famous paintings hanging in the study. Later, a competitor reported him for "large amounts of unexplained wealth." During the investigation, they said, "I’ve been to his house, and it doesn’t look like an ordinary businessman’s." Showing strength is one thing, but others will remember the flaws.04 Staying over is the easiest way for problems to arise. Xiao Zhao kindly took in her divorced best friend, but the friend used her address to receive packages and register a company. Debt collectors kept pounding on her door every day. Xiao Zhao was helpless: "I don’t even know what she’s doing!" Helping others is fine, but don’t risk your home.05 People who truly care about you won’t make things difficult. Teacher Sun, retired, never lets anyone come to his door; old colleagues say he’s aloof. When his daughter got married, he finally said, "If you truly understand me, you wouldn’t insist on coming to my house. Those who do are probably up to something." Wise people know to keep their distance.---Family matters should be discussed behind closed doors. Things that can be talked about over tea in a teahouse shouldn’t be brought into the living room; drinks served at a restaurant shouldn’t be placed on the dining table. Your home is your last refuge—don’t let it become someone else’s stepping stone. Many people only realize this after suffering losses.#家对一个人来说有多重要?#ppnaravit #What do you think is the core of home?
