I no longer like posting news, pictures, or videos; I only like writing after careful thought. Because appearances are merely the noise of the world, while the understanding behind words is closer to the real world.

Some say that after reading “Heart of the Wilderness,” the greatest takeaway is not learning a particular method, but beginning to understand how to become a better version of yourself and how to find the place that truly belongs to you.

At its core, human nature does not actually contain anything called willpower. Many behaviors that appear to reflect willpower are simply the result of being shaped by one’s environment over time.

Sometimes a pie falling from the sky still requires you to see it every time, run over quickly, have a basket in hand at just the right moment, and catch it precisely.

Regarding marriage: Many people are not choosing marriage but obeying a “standard answer” they have never personally verified: once you reach a certain age, you should get married, find a partner, and start a family. But the truly important question is not why others get married, but what you actually want from an intimate relationship. What you envy may not be “marriage” itself, but stability, companionship, understanding, and sharing a life; what you fear may not be “not getting married,” but entering a relationship that drains you, creates conflict, or even costs you your freedom. So what l

Truly effective learning is not about knowing more, but understanding why a particular idea emerged in that era, under those conditions, and in that person. Fragmented information can only broaden your exposure; immersing yourself in one field for several years, tracing primary sources, historical context, and real-world cases, and repeatedly testing theories against reality are what transform knowledge from “other people’s conclusions” into your own cognitive system.

Many people hope to spend money to buy certainty, but certainty is not purchased in a single transaction—it is approached layer by layer: first use direction to reduce ineffective choices, then gain real feedback through action, use feedback to drive iteration, complete verification through iteration, accumulate samples over time, and only then continuously reduce uncertainty. Money can buy resources, speed, and opportunities for trial and error, but it cannot buy the certainty formed only after repeated validation.

Independence of character does not begin when you start having your own thoughts, but when you can start earning money independently. Because only when your survival no longer depends on others do your choices, refusals, and freedom truly belong to you.

Rather than meditating, keep creating. The former eliminates distracting thoughts, while the latter makes them lose their meaning.

Someone asked me whether I believe in “face reading.” I said: Yes, but I only treat it as a reference. A person is the result of countless variables working together. Their appearance, demeanor, and habitual expressions may reveal traces left by their long-term lifestyle and behavior, so face reading is not completely devoid of information. But it is only one of countless variables, and its weight may be very small. It can be observed and used as a signal, but it cannot be treated as a conclusion. What truly determines a person’s direction is never a face, but rather their long-term choices, e

Why do some cultures emphasize “assuming good intentions,” while Chinese culture more commonly emphasizes “preventing problems before they arise”? Fundamentally, it is not about who has greater faith in human nature, but who bears the cost when trust fails. When rules are stable, contracts are enforceable, and institutions can provide a safety net, people can choose to trust first, because there are mechanisms for correction if that trust proves misplaced; when rules are unstable and holding people accountable is costly, the price of treating bad people as good is far greater than that of trea

In a country, the roots of crime lie in humanity’s predatory instincts and lust for power; but when crime becomes widespread, persistent, and even systemic, its roots often lie not merely in individuals, but in the government, because it has the ability to amplify “localized evil” into “systemic evil.”

Someone said: I understand many of the principles you talk about, so why haven’t I changed? I said: Because you don’t know how to apply those principles to yourself. “Understanding principles” and “knowing how to apply them” are two completely different abilities. Many people don’t lack an understanding of principles; they lack the “ability to apply them to themselves.” Understanding a principle only means that you can comprehend it; real change happens when, faced with a specific problem, you can apply that principle to yourself, gain a new understanding of yourself, assess the situation, and

A subscriber asked me: What is the biggest danger when the old order transitions to a new one? If you were once a vice president at a company, the CFO of a group, or the CTO of a technology company, you may have been highly successful, earned a high income, and controlled substantial resources. But when the new order truly arrives, you may suddenly realize: I used to be very capable, but after leaving my former organization, industry, and rules, I no longer know what I can do or how to make money again. That is because much of many people’s value in the past did not come entirely from themselv

Poor people tend to substitute avoiding losses for creating incremental gains.

If you still have to rely on being employed by others to earn an income and a sense of security, it will be difficult for you to truly participate in the distribution of the future.

Many people lack not money, but the ability to earn independently.

Did you know? Every minute and every second we live in this world is actually new. Because time never flows backward, and a person’s past can almost never happen again. Yet many people’s bodies have already arrived at today, while their emotions are still stuck in yesterday. What truly traps a person is never what happened in the past, but the fact that what happened back then is still deciding your emotions, judgments, and choices for you today.
