Someone asked me how I view the fact that so many people have recently been visiting the Presidential Palace in Nanjing. In fact, people are not merely looking at a building, but at an unfinished historical experiment. In 1912, the Presidential Palace in Nanjing witnessed China’s first attempt at republicanism after thousands of years of imperial rule: a transition from “rule by an emperor” to a “modern state.” But replacing the emperor did not mean changing the logic of imperial power; changing titles did not mean establishing modern institutions. True modernization is not merely about a stro

Do not pursue things that are repeatedly promoted because of a tiny number of successful people but have an extremely low success rate; what is truly worth doing is what can be repeated successfully, has controllable failure costs, and offers a sufficiently high long-term probability of success.

Be friends with beautiful, wholesome people; learn how to make money from wealthy people; learn how to live from disciplined, positive people; discuss the world with highly perceptive, well-read people; work with people who take strong action; spend the long term with emotionally stable people; learn methods from people with proven results; take the long view with people who think big; build relationships with people who respect boundaries; do business with honest, reliable people; work alongside people willing to take responsibility; and walk alongside people who keep growing.

How do rulers make people at the bottom obey, feel grateful, identify with the system, and actively uphold the order?
1. Minimum guarantee: Do not give you enough resources to change your social class, but give you just enough security to keep you from completely rebelling.
2. The narrative of benevolence: Package rights that should come from institutions, taxation, or public resources as “benefits granted to you from above,” thereby transforming rights into gratitude.
3. Success stories: Constantly showcase stories of the very few people at the bottom who rose to the top, so that structural p

The most important competition in life is not about who succeeds earlier, but who finds themselves sooner: knowing who you are, what you like, what you want, and what you are willing to pay the price for. Only after finding yourself do money, choices, relationships, and the direction of your life truly begin to belong to you.

Why do you get nervous so easily? Because you care too much about others and don’t love yourself enough.

What truly matters in education is not “never criticizing children,” but not allowing humiliation, threats, and fear to become the environment children must adapt to over the long term.

Love the things that make you feel calm and happy, not the things that keep you anxious, proving yourself, chasing, and draining yourself. What is truly right for you may not be the most exciting, but it will often make you feel increasingly grounded inside.

I just tried out Grok Bot.
I said: What can you do?
The Bot said: I can get things done for you, not just answer questions. Research information, monitor your emails and calendar, set reminders for specific times, and connect to the software you commonly use to get work done. These run on a cloud computer on my end, so I’ll keep going even if you close the window. If I need to access files on your own computer, or send messages or make payments for you, I’ll ask first. What would you most like me to take care of first?
I said: Clicking cancel trial (the Bot’s 7-day free trial) does nothing. Ca

Why do some people seem exceptionally intelligent as children, far ahead of their peers, but look quite ordinary when they grow up? Because the “intelligence” seen in childhood often reflects certain abilities developing earlier, which does not necessarily translate into long-term competitiveness in adulthood. The differences between people during childhood are often reflected in easily observable indicators such as memory, language ability, reaction speed, and test-taking ability; but after adulthood, the variables that determine how far a person can go rapidly multiply: the ability to keep l

The more intelligent a person is, the more capable they are of tolerating ambiguity, uncertainty, and contradictions, and the better they are at understanding the complexity of human nature and the world. By contrast, people with lower levels of cognition are more likely to use black-and-white, binary thinking to reduce the cost of thinking.

True strength is taking back control of your life: not relying on others to validate your worth, not relying on the outside world to provide security, not being swayed by judgment, emotions, or comparisons, and having your own pace, boundaries, and direction.

In China, all prominent business owners are tools. Their ultimate paths boil down to a few options: 1. Have good “political awareness,” continuously and actively participate in relevant tasks, and be thrown into the trash once their reputation deteriorates; 2. Become agents of the big scythe, tools for raising money through an IPO, and ultimately take the blame; 3. Flee through emigration or be arrested, be criticized by the mainstream media, and ultimately have their assets wiped out.
