To know if a person is 'rich or poor in fortune,' look at these three points.

No need to ask about money; just observe these three signs to know whether a person is accumulating or losing good fortune. The sooner you notice, the better you can avoid mistakes.

A person may be rich in money, but not necessarily rich in happiness. Conversely, some people may not have much wealth, but their lives are smooth and relatively uneventful. To distinguish clearly, don't judge by appearances – look at the three core points below.

1. The way they treat people who don't benefit them.

This is the clearest "measure of good fortune." People with good fortune tend to maintain a kind attitude even towards those who don't help them earn money or elevate their status. From how they speak to servants and laborers to how they treat the underprivileged – everything reflects their inner foundation.

Those who accumulate good karma don't need to show off their kindness. They behave appropriately, without contempt or petty rivalry. This creates a positive energy cycle: the kinder they are, the more trusted they become, and the easier it is to meet benefactors.

Conversely, those who discriminate and prioritize self-interest over affection are often unknowingly depleting their blessings. By only being kind to those who are of value to them, relationships gradually become calculating. In the long run, they impoverish their own good fortune.

Happiness is most clearly demonstrated in the way they treat others.

2. Attitude when things don't go as planned.

No one is immune to difficulties, but it's how one reacts to adversity that truly matters. Those who are fortunate tend to be calm, rarely complain, and focus on finding solutions. They understand that every problem has a solution if one maintains a clear mind.

This calmness isn't innate, but comes from inner strength and a certain outlook on life. By avoiding blame and negativity, they maintain stable energy – a crucial factor in sustaining long-term good fortune.

Conversely, those who are easily angered, constantly complaining, or blaming circumstances often trap themselves in a vicious cycle. The more negative they become, the more misguided their decisions will be. This is a sign of misfortune: unable to maintain a stable mindset, they find it difficult to seize opportunities when they arise.

3. How they use their money and time

Whether you are rich or poor, your happiness doesn't lie in the amount of money you have, but in how you use your money and time each day. Happy people usually know how to invest in lasting values: learning, health, family, and kind relationships.

They don't spend to show off, but spend purposefully. Time is also used consciously: avoiding wasting it on meaningless things, prioritizing things that help their lives move forward. It is this small accumulation that makes a big difference over time.

Conversely, those who spend money impulsively, live without a plan, or waste time on things that don't bring long-term value often find it difficult to maintain happiness. Money may come quickly, but it also goes quickly, while opportunities gradually close off.

Happiness isn't something you see immediately, but it's always "revealed" through daily behavior. To know if someone is rich or poor in happiness, just observe how they treat others, how they react, and how they use their resources.

By focusing on these three points, you can avoid misjudging people – and more importantly, correct your own behavior before it's too late.
