Many people can sense the overall situation, but few understand the key reasons behind it — or know how to respond wisely. Some of this information is sensitive, so I can’t spell it out directly. But if you have a solid grasp of economics and macroeconomics, what I’m about to say will make complete sense. Note: I recommend saving this article for future reference.

We have now officially entered an endurance race with the other side of the Pacific. They’re betting on one thing: that we’ll sacrifice our push into high-precision industries in exchange for short-term comfort, and simply cave.
Student Question: Hello, Master. I’m the department director who wrote in previously — I’ve asked you two questions before, and I appreciate your patient guidance.
In your earlier responses, you emphasized the importance of KPI, pointing out that resources should be concentrated on key tasks, that completing tasks consistently is how you build resources, and that tasks should be assessed by priority — handled actively or intentionally delayed. You specifically noted that resources should not be spread across all projects.
If you’re past thirty and still feel like you’re just drifting through life — stop overthinking it.
Start subtracting from your life. Right now. Immediately. Without delay.
Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that at your age, with so many responsibilities, making subtractions means letting people down or causing harm. That’s not how it works. Subtraction isn’t about giving up. It’s about reorganizing yourself so you can travel lighter — moving with more ease and grace.
Every time a young student tells me their job is too basic, lacks technical depth, or offers no room for growth, I have to fight the urge to push back hard.
Yes, it’s true — there are plenty of jobs in this world with low growth potential and minimal technical complexity. But for someone who has just entered the workforce, the vast majority of jobs out there can still teach you a tremendous amount.
Recently, I sat down with family to watch a few episodes of a currently popular TV drama. I knew the content had been around for a while, but I still found myself cringing more with each episode.
The female lead’s relentless climb reminded me of a student who consistently scores 75 — painfully average — who somehow manages to compile a “study guide” and parade it as hard-earned wisdom. Forced confidence with nothing real behind it.
This article went through two rounds of revisions before it could finally be published.
Honestly, at first I didn’t even understand which parts were so sensitive. Then I realized — a great deal of what I wrote was simply too sharp, not exactly what the general public would comfortably absorb.
Fine. Some things got softened. But the core hasn’t changed.
It’s still brutally honest. Read at your own risk — and once you’re done, I’d suggest saving it somewhere you won’t lose it.
Let me be straight with you: if you truly want to grow, the two most important things are reading good books and working hard. The stuff you find online may seem reasonable — and it is, to a degree — but that’s all it is.
Everyone grows up in different circumstances, with different personalities and different natural gifts. There really isn’t a single methodology that works for everyone.
I used to go online with the intention of learning. Did it help? Yes — but nowhere near as much as I imagined.
I’m telling you all this because the people who follow me are still young — you still have the ability to change the course of your lives through your own effort.
I also have quite a few friends approaching middle age who come to me for consultations. My advice to them is almost always: “Adjust your mindset and learn to enjoy life.” Because once you reach middle age, it becomes very difficult to make any significant changes. Better to take care of your family, take care of yourself, and keep everyone healthy and at peace — that’s worth more than anything else.

First, natural selection filters out survivors. Second, the winners of the survival competition claim the resources of production and livelihood. Third, the most efficient laborers monopolize the channels of upward mobility. Finally, those who hold resources and control the channels of advancement monopolize the power to define right and wrong.
Preface # A murder occurred in a residential compound in Chengdu. A woman killed another woman. The victim’s mother called property management, but the security guard did not intervene — when he saw the killer draw a knife, he turned and ran.
