Many times, we tend to be fascinated by "stories of successful people," but we overlook the fundamental rules that are truly valuable and can be repeatedly applied by ordinary people. Looking back, many people who have truly made money or at least have a stable career often share some highly similar traits: diligence, good thinking, willingness to break out of their comfort zone, and the courage to try things they've never done before.

Always be skeptical of all labels, such as educational background, appearance, power, and money. Do not worship external labels. When you truly get to know a person or a team on a deeper level, you'll find that they may only appear glamorous on the surface. Once you interact with them, you'll realize that a large portion of people are not respectful behind the scenes, and their values may not be as upright as you think. What you see is often what others want you to see. This world is just a huge makeshift stage; others are not as perfect as you imagine, and we are not as bad as you think! Inst

There are two sets of social rules: one for the screwdrivers, and one for the smart people. Those who follow the rules live a stable but poor life, while those who break the rules become wealthy and prosperous. Your current situation and everything around you are the result of your own decisions. If you want to change, you must make the right choices. Environment and circle of influence are crucial.

There is a common mindset among the poor in China, especially among the older generation, where they spend a lot of time and effort arguing over a few yuan or even a few cents. They find it hard to save more than a hundred yuan a month when it comes to wealth allocation worth tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even more. At the same time, they are extremely generous—losing tens of thousands in stocks or tens of thousands in property value doesn't make them willing to cut losses. Moreover, many people, once they have more than six figures of money, are eager to find a way to hand it o

If you can't go abroad, go to Hong Kong and Macau; if you can't go to Hong Kong and Macau, then go to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, or Shenzhen. Save more money, sleep more, rest more, exercise more, don't donate, don't donate blood, don't invest, don't open a store, don't smoke, don't drink alcohol, don't stay up late, don't gamble, buy a used oil car, buy a second-hand house, and pay as little tax as possible. In short, don't indulge in grand narratives; focus on your own life.

Even if you possess a face admired by everyone, extensive knowledge, and endless wealth, it doesn't prove your strength. True strength comes from a strong heart.

Actually, the meaning of meeting has never been about the ending; it's just that some people leave to teach you growth. Someone said: "If I had known from the start that we would eventually drift apart, I might as well have never met." But the wonder of life lies precisely in those "unknown" collisions. Just like knowing that flowers will wither, we still get moved by their bloom; just like knowing that stories will have an ending, we still feel our hearts race with every page. The significance of meeting is never about writing a perfect ending, but in the intertwined moments of time, you made

Cognitive Restructuring: The Underlying Logic That Shapes the World
1. Language is the code of needs, and decoding ability is the core social skill
Many people live in interpersonal fog because they only interpret words literally. The true function of language is not to transmit information, but to convey motivation. When a father calls to ask you to watch the weather, the real signal is "I miss you, come home early." When a girlfriend mentions a suitor, the implied meaning is "to confirm how much you care about me" or "that holidays need to be valued." When a nephew says he misses you, it tra

People talking about needs, talking about value, then talking about feelings. If you want others to buy you Hermès, you first need to be able to afford Chanel. Between people, talk about interests, then talk about feelings. Only when you can support yourself will someone say they will support you. Women should not fantasize that men will come to save you in the future. To have an equal and lasting relationship between people, you must be strong and independent. No matter how rich someone is, it's not as important as being wealthy yourself. Interestingly, when you can afford Chanel, you won't b

Don't focus on improving your mood; focus on improving your body. Don't optimize your personality; optimize your actions. Don't try to understand the reasoning; run through the facts.

People who can see through the essence of things in half a second, and those who cannot see clearly even after a lifetime, are destined to have vastly different fates. 1. Start with the End: Use the perspective of your last day of life to reverse engineer today’s decisions. 2. Action Speaks Louder Than Words: Ideas are just illusions; the execution ability of the second-in-command is the real ceiling. 3. Structured Thinking: Use the MECE principle to turn chaotic information from disorder into order. 4. Feynman Technique: Knowledge that cannot be explained clearly in plain language is pseudo-k

The ease of life begins when you see the world as an NPC replica serving you, allowing yourself to boldly experiment and waste in this doomed game. 1. Falling in love is a low-dimensional game; money and knowledge are the high-dimensional pleasures. 2. Wasting time is a privilege; there's no need to create value every second. 3. NPC-ify the world— the ultimate cure for people-pleasing personalities. 4. In the workplace, refuse to be moved by yourself; pulling the leader into the water is the only way to achieve Pareto improvement. I used to always want to change others, living under the moral

The cage of cognition begins with only seeing what you want to see; growth is about constantly swallowing and digesting those dissenting opinions that instinctively repel you. 1. Break the information cocoon with violent disruption; aversion is the boundary of cognition. 2. Toolify multidisciplinary knowledge and establish a Charlie Munger-style framework. 3. Seek cross-disciplinary breakthroughs; a deadlock in Field A is often common sense in Field B. 4. Conduct daily intense reviews, using a scalpel to precisely dissect today's foolishness. In the past, I clung to professional barriers, sitt

Potential is never something that comes easily; it is forced out by desperate circumstances. More terrifying than complete downfall is waking up to self-deception. 1. There are no shortcuts to growth; all breakthroughs come from high-pressure coercion. 2. Reject feeding-based learning; actively competing for resources is the way to stand out. 3. Reading is not a refuge but a covert reconstruction of your thinking system. 4. Beware of “pseudo-effort”; gentle numbness is chronic self-destruction. I used to believe in “going with the flow,” filling the emptiness with fragmented information, prete

The so-called "lack of desire" is essentially a self-protection mechanism activated by the brain to avoid being hurt again; for long-term losers, hope is the biggest risk. 1. Learned helplessness cuts off the neural circuits between "effort" and "result." 2. Poverty consumes cognitive bandwidth, making long-term planning impossible. 3. Diminishing the value of money is a psychological compensation to maintain the remaining self-esteem. 4. Breaking the deadlock doesn't rely on enlightenment, but on small actions to reshape the sense of control. In the past, I was in debt but addicted to cheap e

You think you're buying happiness, but in fact you're buying shackles; true wealth is not about how many things you own, but how much time you have that others cannot control. 1. Refuse to pay the face-saving tax; luxury goods are the expressway from middle class to poverty. 2. Quit pseudo-excellence; Starbucks and gym memberships cannot buy social mobility. 3. Stay away from the IQ tax; trying to buy quick wisdom with money is the stupidest move. 4. Block out garbage happiness; the essence of relationships is not about who you know, but who you are. I used to be trapped in the "Diderot Effect

Meaning is never a grand narrative bestowed by the outside world, but the genuine trembling that arises in your heart when you eat pizza or look at the sky. 1. Stop seeking coordinates through comparison, as that will only lead to endless internal conflict. 2. Meaning cannot be sought externally; it can only grow through creative labor itself. 3. Allow everything solid to dissipate into smoke, and only hold onto the moment you love. 4. Grand dreams are often false propositions; the subtle and specific feelings are what truly matter. I used to think that only standing in the center of the stage

True wisdom is not in the dusty stacks of a study, but in the blood and mud of "learning through practice." 1. Investment is physical endurance gained through running, not knowledge gained from reading. 2. Books can only convey basic information; they cannot provide practical experience. 3. Beware of student mentality and break free from dependency on books. 4. Buffett reads financial reports and intelligence, not theoretical dogma. I used to believe that "reading is beneficial," trying to find the secrets to wealth by reading hundreds of books, only to become a well-versed but poor person. La

Why do you always unconsciously bow half a head when facing someone with a strong aura? Or even pretend to be imposing and speak confrontationally? Humility and arrogance are essentially your heart being swept away by the other person's aura. You think it's a lack of skill, but actually it's your "energy level" insufficient. I have a friend who manages a fund in Shanghai, overseeing billions. Last year, the market was bleak, and he suffered from sleepless nights, losing hair in clumps. People making tens of thousands of dollars a minute were driven to the brink of collapse by anxiety. His wife
