Really capable people are not more hardworking than others. Instead: they see the structure earlier than others.

Then you must understand these theories:
1. Kondratiev Wave: Wealth does not flow randomly, but migrates along technological revolution cycles.
2. Wave Theory: Behind market prices, fundamentally, it is the cyclical oscillation of group sentiment.
3. Fractal Theory: The world repeats across scales; small structures often map to large structures.
4. Power Law Distribution: The world is never equal; a few people take most of the results.
5. Matthew Effect: the strong do not just win once, but their advantage continuously reinforces itself.
6. Black Swan Theory: Truly world-changing events are often unpredictable in advance.
7. Antifragile Theory: Advanced systems do not resist fluctuations but grow by utilizing them.
8. Complex Systems Theory: The world is not a machine but an evolving network that constantly self-adapts.
9. Chaos Theory: Tiny variables can also trigger system-wide outcomes.
10. Long Cycle Theory: Nations, currencies, and hegemony also experience cycles of rise and fall.
11. Technological Singularity Theory: Technological development is not linear but accelerates exponentially.
12. Energy Determinism: The essence of civilization is the ability to acquire and utilize energy.
13. Game Theory: Many outcomes in human society are not about right or wrong but about strategic equilibrium.
14. Information Entropy Theory: The more chaotic a system, the higher the cost to maintain order.
15. Path Dependence: Many people are not limited by ability but are locked in by early choices.
16. System Dynamics: Many problems are not point errors but structural feedback issues.
17. Occam’s Razor: The more fundamental the rule, the simpler it tends to be.
18. First Principles: Do not start from experience but from the irreducible essence.
19. Evolutionary Dynamics: What eliminates you is often not competitors but environmental changes.
20. Attention Economy: The most scarce resource in the future is not money but attention.
