The Pi network does not follow conventional paths and is different from traditional Crypto Assets or projects. Therefore, as a PI pioneer, one should not approach or participate in the Pi network with traditional thinking.
It takes time for the infrastructure and architecture of Pi network, it takes time for ecological construction, it takes time for the pioneers to improve their cognition and awaken, it takes time for the security, compliance, and rigor of Pi network, and it takes time for the clarity and embrace of external environmental supervision. In this regard, we should change our thinking and perspective to maintain our patience and long-termism, and let the bullets fly for a while.
I hope the following sharing can provide everyone with inspiration and reflection.
Foreigners like gap year,
We are afraid of the so-called "empty period."
Because we are an agricultural civilization,
If the field is not cultivated for a year, it will become barren.
While foreigners are ocean civilizations,
If you don't go to the sea for a year, the fish will only grow fat and big.
So since I was young, I was instilled with the idea that "you can't be idle," "you can't stop," "you can't disconnect."
Break/Pause = Falling behind + Failure + No prospects.
The ocean civilization relies on rhythm and waiting:
No need to go into the sea every day,
Fish will grow by themselves, the market will change, and opportunities will accumulate.
Experienced fishermen know
The period when not going to sea is a crucial time for repairing ships, maintaining health, and determining wind direction.
I am also slowly cleaning and learning:
Allow yourself to let go of the stress of "always having to produce."
Sense of scarcity and anxiety.
Embrace your own "fallow period".
In my "sea," I believe the fish are slowly growing.
The same applies.
Embrace the "fallow period" and "iteration period" of the Pi network.
I believe the fish in our "sea" are slowly growing up.
We need to understand that the Pi network cannot have good news and major progress every day, and the long process of rooting, iterating, and accumulating will instead become a norm of "dry periods." This stable and far-reaching period of silent construction is precisely the "fishing ban period" in ocean culture. We should learn to be patient, allowing the fish to grow slowly, the ecosystem to proliferate gradually, the consensus to spread slowly, and the regulation to become clearer over time. This is the compound interest of time, the firmness and belief under understanding.
Still the same saying: Better to be clumsy and slow than to be clever and fast.
Flowing water does not compete to be the first; what it competes for is an endless stream.
Plants do not compete for spring; what they compete for is the continuity of life.
Once the time is ripe and the fishing ban is over, it will be as if spring has arrived overnight, with thousands of pear trees in bloom. With the arrival of PI, the wind rises, and the world welcomes spring!
