In China, throughout the entire system, whether organizations or individuals, whether ordinary people or those with authority, they all survive around two abilities: "deception" and "preventing being deceived."

Suppose, I say suppose, if you encounter your childhood self, what would you most want to say to him or her? Say only one sentence. Someone says: Sorry, I messed up your future. Someone says: This is ten thousand yuan, take it and buy 1000 bitcoins, hold on and don't sell. What would you say?

If everything you do never goes smoothly, then do the opposite. Falling in love is just for breaking up, working is just for quitting, being a person is just for losing face, living is just for dying; the contradictory is the movement of the Tao, the weak is the use of the Tao. Let's learn to face everything with a letting-go attitude, and you'll be fearless, doing whatever you want.

When you test the hardness of a piece of glass, it is destined to shatter. In other words, once doubt arises, the guilt is already established.

The true political wisdom lies in mastering three dialectical relationships: maintaining strategic ambiguity between frankness and silence, sustaining a dynamic balance between advancing and retreating, and building elastic space between principles and flexibility. The so-called "a good strategist does not boast of great achievements" is precisely reflected in the creation of "momentum" rather than flaunting "power." If one cannot understand that the essence of politics is the art of possibility, a product of compromise, and a dynamic presentation of power relations, it is inevitable to fall i

People who can endure hardship are less friendly. Research findings suggest a stable association between a general liking for bitter foods and beverages and stronger "dark" personality traits. Specifically, those who particularly enjoy bitter foods such as black coffee and quinine water are more likely to exhibit narcissistic, Machiavellian, and psychopathic traits, including selfishness, indifference, lack of empathy, and even manipulative and aggressive tendencies(. This does not mean that liking bitterness directly causes antisocial behavior, but rather reveals a shared biological basis. Re

In China, if you buy an electric car, you choose Xiaomi; for phones, Huawei; for work, BYD; for houses, Evergrande; for dining, Xibei; to marry, go to Jiangxi; for children, have a third child; for milk powder, choose Sanlu; to make money, trade A-shares; for financial management, go to the bank; for nucleic acid tests, do it downstairs; for vaccines, get the Sinovac vaccine; hobbies include blood donation; for travel, go to Russia and Cambodia. Say the above a few more times every day, stay far ahead, watch Wolf Warrior, revisit Nezha, dream about those aircraft carriers. Every day, casually

Most people are unaware that they are breathing because their brains are always anxious about the future and regretful of the past. And a conscious breath is a form of meditation, which can instantly bring you back to the present moment. Today, let's talk about how to meditate correctly. Many experts practice meditation daily, and they all say that meditation is a very important part of life. To meditate properly, you first need to understand the true meaning and purpose of meditation—why do these people insist on meditating? The content can be divided into three parts:
1. Physiological Princi

In China, the generation that loved children the most has raised the generation that "loves" parents the least: those born in the 70s and 80s who are afraid to speak loudly to their parents, and now, this same generation is afraid to speak loudly to their children. As children, they tiptoed around, and as adults, they tiptoe around their parents. There are stubborn elders above and rebellious children below. As children, they didn't dare have a rebellious phase; in middle age, they dare not face unemployment; in old age, they dare not experience menopause. We will undoubtedly be the last gener

Discerning whether a man is truly smart is actually very simple. If a person can live steadily and securely, with an organized life, free from toxic people and burdensome affairs, it is often not luck but great wisdom. Those who can achieve this usually possess three qualities: clear judgment, decisive choices, and the ability to quietly stay away from risks. They don’t make a fuss or show off, yet in their daily lives, they quietly avoid the big pitfalls of life. To outsiders, they appear calm and composed, but that is a sign of top-level intelligence. Truly strong people are often not those

Slavery is a form of interpersonal relationship, feudal society is a form of political structure, and capitalism is an economic system. They are not fundamentally parallel concepts and can completely overlap within the society of a single era.

The essence of philosophy: knowing yourself, the essence of psychology: understanding behavior and the mind, the essence of logic: the rules of thinking, the essence of sociology: the interaction between people and structures, the essence of literature: a mirror of human nature, the essence of economics: weighing and choosing, the essence of physics: the language of nature, the essence of mathematics: the logic of the universe, the essence of history: lessons of time, the essence of political science: the game of power, the essence of law: the boundaries of order, the essence of religious stud

Life only has one thing: to live yourself well. If you are not living well now and feel trapped, it must be a structural problem. To change behavior and destiny, you need to design a structure that allows the system to function, making change effortless and happening naturally. Input is not about more being better, but about more being precise. Cognition is not about more being better, but about clearer. Output is not about more being better, but about continuous and stable growth from small to large. Destiny is not changed by knowledge, but by system change. Design structures instead of relyi

Relying on labor to stand and earn money, relying on management to sit and earn money, relying on capital to lie down and earn money, and relying on systems to sleep and earn money—these are the four realms of making money. Of course, relying on systems is the best. So, what is this system? The so-called system is actually the product of strategic planning. Building a system is about creating a continuous pipeline that channels wealth endlessly. Developing a system generally involves four steps:
First, simplify complex problems; second, data-ize simple problems; third, program-ize data problem

Stay away from those who speak harshly and sarcastically. Their meanness is not a harmless mistake but a true reflection of their inner selves. Words are the echo of thoughts. Don't believe in excuses like "sharp-tongued but soft-hearted." Behind mean words often lies a sharp heart. Genuine reminders and malicious insults are fundamentally different. When someone repeatedly wounds you with words, it has nothing to do with goodwill anymore. What you should be more wary of is people who habitually hurt you with their words. They often subconsciously do not give you the respect you deserve. Take

The highest form of self-consistency in a makeshift crew is to completely abandon expectations of rationality. Never try to prove yourself in a garbage dump. The reason you feel exhausted is because you want to make things work too badly and are trying too hard to reason. Always trying to correct a casual environment with professional standards and attempting to establish strict logic amid chaotic processes is precisely the root of your suffering.

The main difference between humans and animals is: animals will never let the stupidest member of their group lead them.

In China, don't hesitate to give your children snacks. You must buy snacks for your kids. There are two situations for children with snacks and children without snacks after going to school. Parents who give snacks to their children think they are cultivating good habits. However, some parents have noticed a strange phenomenon at school: some children kneel in front of other kids and call out for their parents, hoping that the other child will give them a bite of snack. Parents who often buy snacks for their children have also observed another strange aspect of life: when snacks are stored at

Psychology believes that the three main sources of vitality are desire, narcissism, and aggression. They are the three most primitive and authentic forces within a person. The first is desire, which is an outward pull, a sense of life's direction. It represents what you want, where you want your life to go, and reflects your longing and motivation for the future. A person without desire is often not truly transcendent, but rather frozen.
The second is narcissism. In our context, I might consider it a pejorative, but healthy narcissism in psychology is an important source of a person's self-wor

What is first love? Because I care, I lose my sense of proportion. I love you in my own way, even though I don't know if this way is right or wrong. I have no malicious intent, I just hope we can accompany each other a little longer, a little longer, even until the end of life! What is maturity? Not taking the initiative for fear of losing you, being too proactive for fear of overstepping, reaching out for fear of making mistakes, pulling back for fear of missing out, taking a little more care not to bother, a little less to avoid regret. I want to see you. But I clearly know that only when yo
