Whoever you resent is someone you care about. Either they suppressed you, exploited you, humiliated you, betrayed you, or took away something you believed should have belonged to you. The essence of resentment is that the hurt has already passed, but your attention remains there.

If you wear a payment QR code in a wealthy and civilized society, you might receive money from strangers. If you wear one in a poor and scheming society, someone might secretly replace it.

Anyone who tells you how to get rich overnight essentially needs you to help them get rich overnight.

The three stages of the evolution of world power:
Stage One: Trust in a good ruler.
The core is rule by individuals. Power is highly centralized, and the system depends on the ruler’s personal ability, morality, and restraint. Society expects governance problems to be solved by “finding a good person.”
Stage Two: Let multiple centers of power supervise one another.
The core is checks and balances. Power is distributed among different institutions and interest groups, using power to constrain power and reducing the risk of a single power center spiraling out of control through mutual oversight,

A subscriber to my X account asked me: Why is it that once overseas Chinese are organized, they are so easily exploited by larger organizations? Because when many people think of “organization,” their first thoughts are still: find a leader, find a backer, expand membership, and fight over who gets to call the shots. This is essentially the power logic of dynastic succession—concerned with who holds power, rather than how to constrain it.
The core of truly modern governance is precisely the opposite. What matters most in an organization is not its size, but financial independence, transparent

Even if you despise or hate someone, if there is something worth learning from them, take it. Don’t let your emotions block out value. Truly strong people can even turn their enemies’ strengths into their own abilities.

Formula for parents responding when a child makes a mistake:
Make a mistake → Don’t shame or label them → Identify the cause of the mistake → Provide methods or prompts → Try again → Receive feedback → Build competence.
When parents overly judge their children, they are often not solving the problem, but releasing their own anxiety, expectations, and desire for control. The purpose of education is not to hold children accountable for the past, but to help them understand mistakes, correct their methods, and increase the likelihood of getting it right next time.

To judge a person, listen less to how they describe themselves and pay more attention to the choices they make when their interests are in conflict; focus less on their attitude in a given moment and more on their long-term behavior; look less at how they treat the powerful and more at how they treat the vulnerable. What truly reveals a person is never what they say, but what they still choose to do when there is no supervision, no benefit, and even a price to pay.

What is incompetence? True incompetence is not being unable to do anything, but occupying a position while lacking even the most basic abilities required for it. You are a chef, yet you cannot cook well; you are a teacher, yet you do not know how to teach; you are a parent, yet you only know how to control, not how to raise a child; you are a boss, yet you only know how to exploit, not how to create value; you are an adult, yet you cannot control your emotions and desires; you have power, yet you can only make others obey through that power; you have read many books, yet you lack the ability t

The best social status of wealth is not proving that you are rich, but letting others know you are capable while being unable to determine how much money you actually have.

The saying “At forty, one is free of confusion” does not mean that life is henceforth without doubts, but that one begins to see confusion without being confused by it: seeing profit, one does not want to take everything; seeing opportunities, one does not want to seize them all; seeing desires, one does not need to satisfy them all. When young, growth comes from continually learning “what I can do”; after maturity, it is more important to know “what I will not do.” True freedom from confusion means developing stable priorities, boundaries, and the ability to make trade-offs—knowing what is wo

When a person’s income and abilities no longer depend on their social network, socializing is no longer a necessity, and time should be prioritized toward core abilities that can compound over the long term. True independence is not loneliness, but freedom from dependence; true security does not come from how many people one knows, but from always having the ability to create value anew, regardless of how circumstances change.

A doctor told me how to measure blood pressure:
1. Systolic ↑ diastolic ↓ → decreased arterial elasticity and widened pulse pressure → arteriosclerosis, senile hypertension...
2. Systolic ↓ diastolic ↓ → insufficient circulating blood volume or cardiac output → dehydration, blood loss, decreased cardiac function...
3. Systolic ↑ diastolic ↑ → overall elevated blood pressure and increased peripheral resistance → essential hypertension, persistent vasoconstriction...
4. Systolic normal/↓ diastolic ↑ → relatively high peripheral resistance and narrowed pulse pressure → small-vessel constriction,

Things that can truly change your life often come with risks, because there is little room for leaps in certainty; opportunities of real significance are also often not planned, but emerge through action, collisions, and chance. Only things whose outcomes are already predictable and whose costs are low allow you to arrange everything thoroughly. The biggest changes in life usually happen outside the plan.

Ordinary people read news and opinions; those with true judgment look at evidence, causality, and the variables left out.

Someone asked me why Mexican drug traffickers would switch to doing business with the United States. Because they discovered that selling Chinese goods in the US carries lower risks, offers greater scale, and can even be more profitable than drug trafficking. Especially amid US-China trade competition and the US’s continued tightening of restrictions on Chinese goods, some Chinese products first enter Mexico, undergo secondary transshipment, assembly, or packaging, and then enter the US market. More importantly, the transportation, warehousing, border routes, and underground networks originall

The maturation of AGI is the biggest boon for people with ideas who understand needs and know how to create.

When people are unhappy and lack a sense of security, they become more aggressive.
