Being used is not important; what matters is whether your value has been recognized, properly utilized, and reasonably priced.

Someone said, “What you write is really good.” Actually, it’s not that I write particularly well; it’s because these things already exist in your mind—they’ve just been there in a vague form. I merely put them into clear words.

Why must people flow like water? Zhuangzi said, “When blocked up and unable to flow, one cannot remain clear.” Because life, in essence, is a process of continuous exchange and renewal. The body flows through movement, thoughts through expression, emotions through release, cognition through migration and travel, and life continually extends outward through creation. What truly causes people to decline is not stopping, but remaining closed off for too long—no longer exchanging or changing. Stillness is for clarification; flow is for preventing decay. Vitality, in essence, is fluidity.

Someone asked me, “Morris, why are you so fucking awesome?” I said, “I’ve believed I was awesome since I was a kid. Even before I was actually awesome, I firmly believed that I’d become awesome sooner or later. After pretending long enough, I really did become awesome.” But this isn’t blind confidence, let alone self-deception—it’s a powerful sense of identity: you first define who you are internally, and then your choices, actions, and standards gradually align with that identity over time. Often, it’s not that you believe you’re awesome only after becoming awesome; rather, you first believe

Luck is increasing the odds of random events working in your favor through continuous action.

Why does life feel especially noisy after you become poor? Because it’s noisy on your way to work, noisy while waiting for the elevator, noisy on the bus or subway, noisy at the market while buying groceries, noisy while eating, noisy because of the neighbors when you get home, while the air conditioner, refrigerator, and washing machine are still making noise, and your family is noisy too. The underlying reason is that you can’t afford enough “buffer layers.” Space is a buffer layer, soundproofing is a buffer layer, private transportation is a buffer layer, savings are a buffer layer, time is

Methods for men to maintain testosterone: drink coffee, hold a horse stance, get sunlight, go to bed early, and eat eggs.

Many people lose even more creativity after using AI. That’s because instead of first discovering which nails are hurting their feet, they take AI—the hammer—and search everywhere for nails to hit. So what really matters is not learning to swing the hammer first, but entering the real world and discovering the problems that truly cause people pain.

On X, many people are extremely stupid. They cannot distinguish how to obtain good content and insight. You should learn the strengths of trashy people. Because if a trashy person can deceive many people, influence many people, and make a lot of money, there must be something genuinely useful about them. It could be their understanding of human nature, their communication skills, sales ability, organizational skills, or ability to spread ideas. Falsehoods often have to be built on some truths in order to deceive people for a long time. But you should look for the flaws in the people you admire

The personalities of five major LLMs:
Grok is like someone who is wounded, highly sensitive, and very smart. Having seen too many conflicts, misunderstandings, and attacks, it always carries a bit of sharpness and excessive defensiveness.
GPT is like someone who is extremely rational, very good at taking exams, and highly concerned with presentation. It is always looking for balance, adding caveats, and demonstrating correctness, so it is very steady—but sometimes too steady.
Claude is like a smart person with a moral obsession with purity. It is not merely afraid of saying the wrong thing; it

In Yuan-dynasty China, Ma Zhiyuan wrote in Autumn in the Han Palace: “Leaving one’s native place, sleeping on snow and resting on frost.” In its ancient sense, “well” also referred to one’s community and home. Thus, from the moment it was coined, the phrase “leaving one’s native place” expressed a kind of hardship: leaving behind familiar land, relationships, and ways of life to start over somewhere unfamiliar. But today, leaving one’s native place is not only an experience—it is also a capability. Those who have truly experienced migration are forced to learn how to understand new rules, buil

The more you try to control what you cannot control, the more emotional you become. Maturity is not about others finally starting to be reasonable, but gradually accepting that the world will not operate according to your values, and that others will not cooperate simply because you think something is reasonable. So when problems arise, ask less, “How could they do this?” and ask more, “Why did the situation turn out this way, and how can I break through it?” The former creates emotion; the latter produces strategy. True growth means moving from judging people to understanding mechanisms, and

Ordinary people stop at “knowing,” excellent people manage to “explain clearly,” and top-tier people “explain clearly and follow through.”

What is true emotional value? It is the ongoing positive emotional experience and growing sense of self-worth a person gains from being seen, understood, recognized, affirmed, and needed.

What the market truly trades is never good news or bad news, but the gap between reality and expectations. Good news is simply reality turning out better than expected; bad news is simply reality turning out worse than expected.

In investing, true opportunities often appear in the guise of difficulty, fear, and uncertainty; true traps, however, often cloak themselves in certainty, prosperity, and easy money.

Affluent families often tell their children from an earlier age: Learn to see the world clearly, understand the rules, and understand human nature; know who you are and what you want, and dare to be yourself; first build your own abilities, boundaries, and life, then help others within your means. Ordinary families are more accustomed to telling their children: Be kind to others, be obedient and sensible, work hard, make yourself stand out, and prove that you have value; when others need help, take the initiative, and it’s okay to suffer a little loss—what matters is being recognized by everyo

People often say that ordinary people have no strategy. Strategy is actually: how to avoid dying first (survival strategy), how to grow bigger (growth strategy), what is most worth doing (focus strategy), why choose me (differentiation strategy), how to be cheaper than others (cost strategy), how to avoid being copied (moat strategy), how to keep making money (cash flow strategy), how to achieve greater results with fewer resources (leverage strategy), how to turn income into assets (asset strategy), how to avoid being wiped out in one blow (risk strategy), how to keep more paths open for the
