I genuinely recommend you save today’s article, because even though Master Chi has written countless pieces about leveling up, wealth, destiny framework (格局), and mindset — none of them have been quite this open and expansive.
Rather than calling this an article, it’s better described as “a life philosophy guide that only those with true wisdom can fully embrace.”
If you’re willing to read it carefully and live by its principles, your Chi fortune (气运) will lift, and your life will steadily move in an ever-improving direction. This is beyond all doubt.
Those of you familiar with Master Chi know I’ve never shied away from “flaunting success.”
But unlike those who spend all day boasting about their net worth, their sports cars and luxury homes — what I prefer to show off is the “wealth wisdom” I’ve distilled over the years from moving in high-level circles.
Why?
Because I myself am someone who was nourished by that wisdom, watched my inner strength multiply, and ultimately harvested a richly rewarding life from it.
Listen to me: don’t envy those whose Chi fortune arrives early, and don’t convince yourself that you’re destined to live an unremarkable life with no hope of turning things around.
I, Master Chi, have always been wary of those whose major life cycle (大运) arrives too early — especially the kind of young heroes who ride high in fine clothes, achieving fame and success before their time. Those fleeting moments of brilliance may be dazzling, but very, very few people can sustain what they built in their youth.
1. When everything seems to be going against you — visit a thriving, slightly upscale hair salon. Have your hair and face tidied up properly. Pay special attention to the tail ends of your eyebrows; any stray hairs there should be removed without hesitation.
2. When minor misfortunes keep cropping up — take a walk through a temple with strong, active incense offerings. If, while passing by a statue of a dharma protector, you feel as though something has been pulled away from your body, you may return home with a settled mind.
Tonight I want to write something practical, genuine, and pure — consider it a roadmap I’m laying out for all of you as you navigate the years ahead.
More importantly, 90% of this article is completely open; only the final 10% requires you to offer a cup of tea to unlock.
But rest assured — that cup of tea is absolutely worth it.
Let me start with something small. These past two years, I’ve repeatedly shared one idea with my inner community brothers and sisters: in today’s environment, don’t blindly chase income numbers.
Inspiration is a funny thing — sometimes it arrives as a long essay, other times as just a few words. Tonight’s piece is one of the latter. Brief as it may be, if your understanding runs deep enough, these few lines will outweigh a thousand elaborate sentences.
One — Don’t grip too tightly when things get hard. The more relaxed, unhurried, and at ease you are, the better your results tend to be — and the sharper your eye becomes for opportunities that flash past in an instant.
Those who truly build life’s achievements step by step are almost always the ones who embody great wisdom appearing as simplicity (大智若愚).
To appear simple means this: in daily life, you keep your head down, quietly doing what needs to be done each day, channeling every ounce of energy into continuous growth.
So even though you don’t argue, don’t stir up noise, don’t seek the spotlight, don’t waste words — you still move forward with solid, steady steps.
I, Master Chi, have always had a strong distaste for those emotional influencers who constantly preach “shrewdness, calculation, and self-interest” as their mantras.
Don’t be fooled by how sharp and cutting these influencers seem — in reality, very few of them actually have happy marriages or harmonious families of their own.
Because they all make the same fundamental, common-sense mistake: in this world, there has never been a happy marriage built on mutual scheming and combat.
These past couple of days, things have finally settled into the proper rhythm of the new year — and I, Master Chi, am entering our 7th year together with you. Truly remarkable.
Some of you have asked me: “Master, you’ve already achieved financial freedom, and you have so many other ventures you’re running — why do you still write articles for us so frequently?”
That is a very good question — and a sharp one. For a moment, it actually left me at a loss for words.
Today is the Lantern Festival — I have plenty of social engagements, so I won’t write a long piece. Let me just casually share some thoughts.
Looking at the key moments since the start of this year — New Year’s Day, the Spring Festival, the holiday season — it’s been barely a month and a half. Yet you can clearly feel that the atmosphere in the air has started to pick up. Whether it’s the stream of encouraging news on the broader front or the many friends around me, there’s an unmistakable upward spirit taking hold.
