Well, now, if we talk about this year’s fortune, that’s 2022, I reckon things have been a bit wild, but also kinda good for a lot of folks. You see, in the big wide world, especially for them big companies, the year’s been pretty good. They say the companies on the Fortune Global 500 list—those big ones making all the money—have done well, despite everything being a little messy here and there.
Now, take Walmart, for example, that company’s been sitting at the top of the list for years. This year, they’re still number one, no surprise there. Been holding that spot for ten years straight, and it’s like they just can’t be toppled. I tell ya, if Walmart keeps doing what it’s doing, I don’t know who’s gonna catch ‘em.
Now, the big news is that these companies made a whopping $37.8 trillion in sales! Ain’t that a big number? It’s hard to even imagine. They say that even though things didn’t go up much, it still set a record! Imagine all that money—what could you do with that, right? People sure make a lot of money in the business world, much more than us folks here in the village, that’s for sure.
And there’s more, these Fortune 500 companies are not just sitting back counting their coins, no ma’am. They’re working hard, even when the world’s been all topsy-turvy. Take a look at 2022, and you’ll see that revenues jumped by a record 19%! That’s a lot of money flowing in for these companies. And no, they didn’t just get lucky. These companies, they know how to work the system and make things happen.
But not all was smooth sailing for everyone. Some had a rough time, like that Fortune Brands Innovations. They made $4.723 billion, but it dropped by about 1.6% from the previous year. Still, that’s a lot of money, right? I guess it’s like farming—sometimes the crops don’t do as well, but you still got enough to live on. Companies are like that, I reckon.
One thing that’s been on folks’ minds is the astrological side of things. Y’know, some folks believe in the stars and how they affect luck. Well, if you follow them stars, 2022 is supposed to be the year of the Water Tiger. Sounds mighty exciting, don’t it? The Tiger’s got a reputation for bringing about big changes, and folks are expecting this year to bring some big shifts in the world and in our personal lives, too. Might be a good year for people making big decisions, like starting a business or changing jobs.
But, it’s not all roses for everyone. They say that some folks might find themselves in a bit of a tough spot, especially with them planets shifting around. There are talks about Rahu and Saturn, planets that are usually seen as malefic—means they don’t bring the best luck. But, hold on! Even these planets are supposed to bring some positive results. Maybe it’ll be like when you get a storm before the sunshine—hard times followed by good ones. It’s all in how you take it, ain’t it?
And let me tell ya, it ain’t just about money or the stars. It’s about what you do with the hand you’re dealt. If you’re smart and keep working hard, your luck might change for the better, no matter what’s goin’ on in the world. Whether you’re running a small farm or a big company, it’s all about taking the right steps, knowing when to plant the seeds and when to harvest.
So, for all them out there wonderin’ what this year’s got in store, well, it’s looking like it’s gonna be a year of changes. You might have to put in some extra work, but if you’re patient and stay smart, things might just turn out better than expected. That’s the real secret to making your fortune—keeping your head down, working hard, and being ready for when the big opportunities come your way. And for those big companies, they’ll keep riding the wave as long as they keep their eyes open and stay ahead of the game.
In the end, fortune ain’t just about luck, it’s about being in the right place at the right time and making the best out of it. That’s what I think, anyhow. What do you reckon?
