When in a desperate situation, the most important thing is not to win, but to stop resisting: don’t fight others, don’t fight the market, and above all, don’t fight yourself.

The pressures facing a Chinese man are not, at their core, merely about how to make money. Government debt resolution concerns you—it affects employment, income, and asset prices; women concern you—they affect marriage, family, and life choices; your parents concern you—they affect your eldercare responsibilities, cash flow, and freedom; entrepreneurship concerns you—it determines whether you can move from selling your time to creating assets; entering the market to invest concerns you too—it determines whether you can preserve and grow your wealth. What kind of life you ultimately lead essent

Why are people with Capricorn personalities more likely to accumulate wealth? Because they are typically more patient, disciplined, restrained, and committed to the long term, and are more willing to delay gratification. In trading, they are less likely to frequently change their plans because of short-term volatility, and are more willing to study patterns, build systems, wait for opportunities, and continuously review their performance. Truly making money over the long term often depends not on momentary cleverness, but on controlling impulses, managing risk, and repeating the right actions

The real advantage of being a digital nomad is not merely being able to travel everywhere, but being able to choose the lifestyle that suits you best across different countries: lowering living costs in countries with lower prices, improving efficiency in countries with better infrastructure, living in places with better natural environments, connecting with resources in places with more business opportunities, and allocating assets in places with stable institutions. In the past, people were often tied to their birthplace; in the future, more and more people will be able to treat the world as

Why do people need to understand the world? Because many opportunities essentially come from information gaps, institutional differences, and price differences. Take the simplest example: the same pack of 20 Marlboro Red cigarettes costs about $1.33 in Vietnam, while in Ireland it costs nearly €19. A carton containing 10 packs costs only $13.3 in Vietnam, but nearly €192 in Ireland—a price difference of more than tenfold. The cigarettes are still the same; what changes are the country, taxes, institutions, and market environment. The significance of understanding the world is knowing that the

AI’s greatest value is making “trial and error” cheaper, enabling ordinary people to validate more ideas at lower cost and thereby gain more choices to change their lives.

Life isn’t a math problem; you don’t need to prove to everyone that you’re right. What truly matters is living more freely, comfortably, and authentically.

Throughout Chinese history, many ordinary people have always hoped for some kind of external force to change their circumstances: foreign allies, wise rulers, upright officials, sages, policies, or even the next turning point of the times. But truly reliable change rarely comes from waiting for someone else to save you. Change for an individual begins with changes in their own abilities, understanding, and actions; change for a group likewise begins with the formation of new organizations, strengths, and structures of interest from within. The external environment can create opportunities, but

The vast majority of Chinese people spend their entire lives living within other people’s frameworks. Someone who has been constantly told by their parents, school, workplace, and society how they “should” live since childhood will find it difficult to form judgments that are truly their own, and can therefore only rely on external narratives, collective consensus, and the choices of the majority to gain a sense of security. That is precisely why they often try to control others: others must be just like them, acknowledge the same values, take the same path, and follow the same rules, because

The more materially deprived people are, the more inclined they are to seek spiritual support (grand narratives), and the more they hope to attain spiritual independence (the so-called “emptiness”). But true spiritual independence ultimately comes from the strength developed through growth.

Truly being good at memes is essentially a cognitive jailbreak completed within seconds, compressing knowledge reserves, memory retrieval, remote association, and logical reorganization into one.

If I were emperor, I’d let fools keep believing, while making smart people either shut up or get lost.

When you travel, you should always bring along that person who “hasn’t seen much of the world.” They’ll marvel at the mountains, get excited by the sea, be happy to eat delicious food, and pull you along to experience anything new. The most precious part of travel has never been how many places you’ve visited, but having someone willing to stay curious about the world with you. The most disappointing travel companion isn’t someone who hasn’t seen much of the world, but someone who finds nothing surprising and thinks everything is just “that’s it.” Seeing the world isn’t rare; what’s rare is st

The next five years may mark the most concentrated “succession cycle” in decades. The old order is exiting, while the new order is accelerating onto the stage. Whether national leaders or business leaders of the previous generation, many will collectively enter a period of handing over power, resources, and positions. The next five years will involve not only a change of people, but more likely a change of rules, reference points, and era.

Why “guard against fire, theft, and your best friend”? Women hurting women is often not innate, but the result of social divisions of labor: men have long competed over wealth, power, and status, while women have more often been placed in competition over marriage, family, appearance, and evaluations of relationships. Once competition enters private relationships, the harm becomes more covert; and a best friend means close proximity, access to more information, and weaker boundaries. When jealousy, comparison, and conflicts of interest arise, secrets can become weapons. What is truly dangerous

One of the phrases Chinese students hear most often is: “Don’t lose at the starting line.” This is the most misleading advice. Being ahead in childhood often simply means becoming familiar with the rules earlier, adapting to standards faster, and being better at completing predetermined tasks. But excellence in adulthood requires a different set of abilities: exploring the unknown, making connections across fields, asking questions, and creating new paths. Those who truly remain at the top over the long term often do not lock themselves into a single track too early. Instead, they spend more t

Normal media focus on the shortcomings of institutions and society;
Abnormal media repeatedly publicize their own “strengths.”

The weaker, poorer, and lazier a person is, the more they care about saving face. Admitting it is more forthright than seeking explanations.
