Dare to trade. Dare to win.
Tomorrow I have to go to work again. The discomfort of going to work is not from the work itself, but from the people and things at work. In gaming, it's not about overcoming opponents, but about overcoming the difficulties caused by teammates. In trading, the challenge isn't the market data, but your own fear and impatience to wait for time. Both are very hard to overcome. How did I manage to overcome them? My fear came from not having capital; it was all last year's profits that I managed to conquer. I dealt with my impatience by working to curb my ambitions and by observing others who were impatient as a counter-example. This is why living is a continuous learning experience, as everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. However, some strengths and advantages might be useless and do not determine one's wealth or poverty. Are these strengths harmful? If a person takes pride in them, forming a wrong perception, they may indirectly abandon the improvement of their weaknesses. Your strengths do not make you richer or more powerful; you may be good at dealing with people, but you haven't moved up to a higher tier. You just collect your monthly salary, constantly thinking about the people and matters at work, feeling anxious and trapped. You may look handsome or beautiful, yet you haven't found a wealthy and powerful partner. You may be detail-oriented in your work but haven't engaged in truly profitable ventures. Your mind is sharp and quick, yet during your learning years, you spent all your time playing games. Now you are considering taking the civil service exam, but time keeps moving forward. As time passes and you age, a person's ability and value gradually approach zero. What’s worse is that you are not yet old; you are in your prime, with aging parents and young children. This is the most painful situation. At this time, various scams and Pig-butchering scams can easily occur. Playing those games can make money, enough to last a lifetime, continuing a negative cycle until you resign yourself to your fate, ultimately concluding that the environment is bad, the times are unfavorable, and you are not lucky, that your parents are nothing, and you were born with nothing. It's essential to reflect on whether the environment is bad or if you are not good enough. A person earning 5000 a month and someone earning 10,000 a month have a wealth accumulation speed difference of six times, not just double. The person earning 5000 can save 1000 each month, while the one earning 10,000 can save 6000. Let Jack Ma play basketball, and let Yao Ming run Alibaba; they wouldn’t perform as well as you and me. If Jack Ma started Alibaba before playing basketball, or Yao Ming finished basketball before starting Alibaba, everything would be within reach. Let Messi play soccer; if the time and place are wrong, if he was born in a county in China, could he even kick a ball? Successful people have the right timing, location, and interpersonal relationships. Ordinary people in the current era lack the right time and place, only able to rely on relationships. Without sufficient effort, the right time and place default to zero. Market data can stop loss, but youth and time cannot be stopped. Money is just an illusory number. When I have no money, I don’t look up to the rich; I don’t think I'm worse than them. When I have money, I don't look down on the poor; I don’t think I'm better than them. Cultivating oneself, if you eat too much, you lie down and fart; if you drink too much, you get up to urinate. Excessive indulgence leads to problems; even Cai Xukun can catch a cold from too much air conditioning, and Li Ka-shing has to use the toilet like everyone else. Looking up at the sky is out of reach; looking down, I tread on the ground beneath my feet. Today wraps up, and tomorrow we continue to strive.
