Treat life as a long-term bet

At this age of early twenties, for ambitious people, there is an embarrassing period when BOOS does not lose its health bar even if it is punched on the sandbag again and again. And for people like me, it’s no exception. But after a few times, I still chose to calm down and think about what adjustments I need to make to make it easier to get out of the situation. In the end, what is more important? What’s most important?
It is not my personal “patent” to think calmly and then make adjustments when encountering difficult situations. It’s just that compared to other people, it’s easier for me to choose to do the right and equally difficult thing. Willing to invest in it for a long time and constantly optimize and modify until the final victory.
I have observed that many people of the same age around me are not professional enough when doing things, so that they become ordinary people early on. The profession that can be done is not the only reason why things are finally done, because some people also rely on other factors to rise to success. But such people are rare after all…
Similarly, when those who do well have to make new choices, they may not be able to make better choices next time. Not to mention the probability that people who can’t even do it well will make the right choice later.
So if you make the wrong choice, many people will suffer the same consequences. For example: In fact, everyone in this world is doing stock trading. The army of those taking the postgraduate entrance examination are betting that their academic qualifications will be more valuable in the future; the army of those taking the public examination are betting that their lives will be more stable in the next few decades; those who take loans to buy houses and speculate on them are betting on the local economic development in the next thirty years. The above choices are indeed not a good choice in the eyes of some people. Therefore, people who make different choices will of course behave differently, which will lead to different lives.
What I’m saying is, don’t surrender too easily to “popular choice.” There are always more important things to do, and that is to make new thoughts from time to time on any important choices related to the future.
I mean, big or small. At this point, I would like to give two specific examples: The first was in 2022, when I started to contact the ground product NFT of the block chain, I was often cut off by others as a “shell. It makes me very upset. So I decided to take part in it from a professional player’s point of view. And indeed, in the next year or so, not only did I look at a lot of sophisticated block chain technology books, but I was directly involved. I didn’t know what those changes would bring to me until then, with that knowledge, I succeeded in making a portion of the money available to finance my own trip to Japan in my youngest years, and I spent one of the richest travel days of my life.
And then there’s this little thing today. The company’s annual meeting, let’s introduce ourselves. I know, of course, how important such a simple description is for those who have introduced themselves over 800 times. So when I did, I went to the front desk, and I introduced myself with a sense of humor, and then I gave myself a strong positive psychological hint, according to the Law of the Attraction of the Universe. That’s swearing in front of everyone that my team will get first.
As a result, more than an hour later, our team won not only the best performance team in the field, but also, personally, the best in the field. All my favorite prizes are in my pocket…
