Why do wealthy people in the crypto world flaunt their riches and spend money like water? In fact, what they spend is what truly belongs to them. The money they haven’t spent may not actually be theirs, because unspent money faces robbers who want to steal from them, hackers who want to exploit them, bagholders they’ve cut, project teams trying to cut them, investors they’ve defrauded, and tax and regulatory authorities in various countries that want to deal with them.....

In China, when an official is investigated, it is not just one person being investigated, but an entire network. The industry associated with that network may also be restructured or change hands at any time. In sectors where power is deeply involved in resource allocation, a company’s risks come not only from market competition, but also from changes in the power structure on which it depends.

Sharing knowledge is more important than hoarding it; developing games is more important than being addicted to them; writing a book is more important than reading a hundred books; creating products is more important than consuming them; asking questions is more important than memorizing answers; building your own theories is more important than following others’ theories. Input helps you understand the world, while output lets you participate in shaping it.

According to research, sunbathing through glass is basically ineffective for vitamin D synthesis.

In your lifetime, the things you love should participate in the flow of your life to the greatest extent possible. Many things are not used up, but left to deteriorate. People always assume that possession is wealth and preservation is cherishing, while overlooking the fact that every form of value has a window of time; only by entering the flow of life can it truly be realized. This applies to money and possessions, as well as to opportunities and time. True abundance is not about how much you own, but how much of what you own truly participates in and enriches your life. The value of life li

Life is long, and things going contrary to one’s wishes is the norm. The world will not change the way it operates because of anyone’s expectations, and reality has no obligation to satisfy anyone’s wishes. True maturity is not constantly convincing yourself to accept loss, but understanding the real conditions behind every gap between expectations and reality, then reassessing your position. Actively pursue what can be changed, stop wasting energy on what cannot, and seek new paths for what is worth persevering with. Accepting reality is not surrendering to fate, but ceasing to use subjective

When you refuse to understand complexity, you become vulnerable to control by simple narratives. Reality is often the result of multiple variables, layers, and competing interests working together, while a simple narrative only needs to provide one cause, one enemy, and one answer to create the illusion of understanding the world. Humans are naturally inclined toward certainty; the less willing they are to bear the cost of thinking independently, the more likely they are to accept explanations provided by others. True cognitive ability is not about simplifying every complex issue, but about re

Someone in my X group asked me: Teacher Morris, do you think dating during college does more good than harm, or more harm than good? I said: Young people should experience and get to know the world more, including getting to know multiple girlfriends. In many cases, the feeling of being in love is both fleeting and beautiful.

A subscriber sent me a video conversation between Luffy and Shao Ailun and asked me: “What do you think of the ‘Thin-Muscle Theory’?” After watching it, I felt that some of Luffy’s doubts were justified. But I do not want to discuss who was right or wrong, nor do I want to limit the discussion to what they argued about. Compared with the Thin-Muscle Theory itself, I am more interested in why a young person is so eager to establish his own theory, and why this theory happens to resonate today.
In my view, a person’s circumstances are never determined by discipline, the body, or any single abili

Sometimes, after reading my posts, you may feel that the world has become a little clearer. But I don’t write them so that, after seeing through the world, you can simply go to sleep, nor so that, after recognizing reality, you become filled with anger. Rather, I hope you can understand the world more clearly, understand yourself more rationally, find your own place, define your goals, and put them into action. Understanding the world is meant to help you choose your own life more wisely, not to let the world decide your life.

This world is like a giant prison. Ordinary people live inside the prison, busy every day completing tasks assigned by others and doing things they believe are meaningful but that may not actually create value. Smart people try to leave the prison, discover opportunities, create value, and then sell their products and services to the people inside the prison. The warden is the smartest of all. He does not need to create anything himself; he only needs to control the prison’s rules, charging those inside for the cost of survival and those outside for access to the market. Ordinary people partic

You feel that starting a business is difficult. In fact, what defeats you has never been difficulty, but ambiguity. Difficulty is merely a cost; ambiguity is what makes you not know where to apply your effort.

In the future of global entrepreneurship, AI will make it increasingly easy to connect resources, while technology will continually amplify the ability to act. But “insight” will not become widespread as a result. As the barriers to accessing resources continue to fall, what will truly become scarce is no longer the resources themselves, but the ability to identify opportunities, assess value, and see trends clearly.

Many people merely recognize the four words “independent thinking,” yet have never truly thought independently. They believe that refusing to believe authority is independent thinking, without realizing that opposing authority and obeying authority can both merely be another form of blind conformity. Obeying authority means handing one’s power of judgment to others; blindly opposing authority means allowing someone else’s position to determine one’s own. The two may appear opposed, but in essence, both involve giving up independent judgment. True independent thinking is neither about agreeing

Many poor people have a misconception: they think they will smile once they have money. In fact, it is because you smile that you have the opportunity to become wealthy.

Successful entrepreneurs often possess two qualities: the ability to face reality independently and continuously solve problems; and a strong focus on long-term goals, along with a willingness to bear the costs of pursuing them.

Immature friendship requires both people to remain in similar places to maintain the relationship. Mature friendship allows both people to pursue different lives and witness each other’s growth.

Investing means following trends, not the crowd.

Many people think they are poor despite having high cognition, when in fact they are merely poor people with a high information load. They know too many principles, trends, and success stories, yet do not know which are relevant to them, which opportunities suit them, or which abilities can create value. Information is not the same as cognition, cognition is not the same as ability, and creating value is not the same as receiving returns. The key to escaping poverty is to find and continuously improve one’s position. Everyone has different abilities, resources, experiences, and environments. B
