The more disadvantaged your social and economic status, the more you need to find ways to change your position. Changing your fate isn't just about studying hard and doing exercises; sometimes you just have to leave your hometown.

The concept of stable survival emphasizes "staying put and not migrating," because all land has owners—you leave home and you have no means of production. But in modern society, opportunities are mobile. If you find that the industry in your city is declining, sluggish, or your company's hierarchy is rigid with no cross-sector communication, should you stay and be a laborer for others?

Go to places with high economic connectivity, to areas with more advanced networks, ideally becoming a structural hole between two networks.

This is not opportunism, nor is it begging for favors. You need that good position, and that good position also needs you! The secret is that if the circle of the wealthy only includes the wealthy, they can't operate effectively and will eventually become corrupt and degenerate. Social mobility benefits everyone, and sustainable high-level networks must actively include outsiders.

As long as you maintain a "supply-side mindset," entering the circle of the wealthy means offering a unique perspective; standing in a structural hole means providing translation services; moving to a new city means injecting new vitality into that city. Socializing as a weak person is seeking protection; socializing as a strong person is providing interfaces.

A nanny providing high-end household services in an affluent neighborhood, if she only does the work, she is just labor; but if she can bring back the educational ideas and information gaps from the wealthy area to her own community, and connect local specialties and labor resources to the wealthy with high standards, she becomes a structural hole.

Position is also a form of capital; coordinates are part of destiny. Sometimes being in the right place is more important than having the right knowledge. Heroes and great figures shouldn't be limited by their environment; naturally, better places are waiting for you.
