Life's cheating techniques (displaced competition):

1. Call customer service and wait in line, choose the English channel, speak Chinese.
2. Don't wait stubbornly for the elevator, go down two floors first and then go up.
3. Don't queue at popular restaurants, eat at the competing place next door.
4. While others seek love, you go seek wealth.
5. Don't go to temples to worship statues, go to museums to worship.
6. Ask for help, don't ask the top expert, ask the second-tier.
7. When others are working, go travel.
8. Others start work at 10 am, you start at 2 pm.
9. Others always want to prove themselves, you don't prove anything.
10. While others go to the summer resort, you sell shovels at the beach.
The real shortcut is not cutting in line, but changing entrances. The most hidden opportunities in this world are often found in places "no one wants to go." The biggest loophole in many systems is the assumption that "everyone will make the same choice."
