"A capable minister in a time of peace is a cunning hero in a time of chaos." In other words, executives during economic upturns are entrepreneurs during economic downturns.

In fact, many iconic companies indeed start or rise during the decline phase.

Although people are always eager to quote the truth that "Chaos is the ladder", only a rare few among the crowd truly dare to ascend this precarious ladder with a transcendental will, luck, and talent.

The so-called "heroic figures" refer to making correct decisions rather than popular ones, with "heroic" signifying vigorous idealism and a bold will to take action.
