If there are a handful of articles in this lifetime capable of completely changing your destiny after you read them quietly to the end — this is absolutely one of them. And what you’ll find here are secrets that your ordinary social circles will never bring you anywhere near.

In the depths of my youth, at my lowest point, I desperately wished there was a noble benefactor (Gui Ren) beside me — someone who would take my hand and illuminate the confusion, show me the road ahead.

Back then, I was far less mature than I am now. Yet somewhere deep inside, I already sensed one truth: what I lacked was not perseverance, not the courage to forge ahead, not an optimistic spirit — it was a clear direction.

If someone could have pointed me toward the right direction to work in, I knew — absolutely knew — that I would have walked that path more solidly than anyone.

Unfortunately, no such person ever appeared. Everything had to be worked out through my own trial and error.

Yet it was precisely this brutal, battle-scarred journey that allowed me to completely map out every critical lesson on the road from zero to hundreds of millions.

Tonight, I will give you this gift — dripping with blood. It is rich and potent, yet it carries the raw smell of battle. Whether you can bear it depends entirely on your own nature.

Now let me ask you this: Why is it that despite giving everything you have in this life, you still cannot break free from the bottom?

My answer is this:

1. From childhood onward, under the education of parents and elders, you only learned to master a so-called trade skill, then spent your days grinding through repetitive work at a low-return job. You never truly came to understand the hidden knowledge at the top of five thousand years of Chinese civilization — the art of power, interests, taking sides, reading trends, negotiating, mutual benefit, building alliances, and projecting authority.

2. Add to this the long years of life in entry-level positions, which slowly merged you with the crowd around you and widened the gap between you and the peers who were moving upward. Worse still, your aspirations, your willpower, your thinking — even your very perception of the world — were gradually pulled down by the unreliable people around you. In the end, the most critical inner part of you had completely sunk.

3. Because of this state you are in, the noble benefactors (Gui Ren) who might otherwise have entered your destiny will take one look at you and shake their heads in disappointment. Opportunities for guidance become fewer and fewer. The chance of being lifted up grows ever smaller. Until finally, you dissolve completely into the masses — and the last remaining chips for turning your life around slip away.

4. By the time you reach thirty, you are close to despair. You realize that nearly every major decision cannot be solved by a snap of the fingers — the trade-offs, the foresight, the thinking required are far beyond what you and the handful of mediocre people around you can handle. The old saying goes that three cobblers make a wise man. In reality, they only produce low-quality arguments whenever they disagree. Not one reliable idea ever emerges.

5. Because you don’t understand, you make mistakes. Because you make mistakes, you feel defeated. Because you feel defeated, you give up. Gradually, you abandon the habit of long-range thinking entirely, and you adapt more and more to a life of “going with the flow” — which is really just drifting.

You learn to numb yourself with motivational platitudes, telling yourself things like “whatever heaven gives you is the best arrangement.” What you fail to see is that heaven and earth show no favoritism; they treat all beings like straw dogs. The nature of the Dao is survival of the fittest, the strong consuming the weak. So tell me — are you the one who survives, or the one who gets cut?

6. You — lying flat and detached from ambition — will soon encounter something even more dangerous. Because you chose to give up, your access to quality information objectively narrows: fewer channels, lower quality, always arriving late. You naturally become the last passenger on every wave of the times.

True, many people whose excessive ambition produced poor results exist. But excessive passivity has always been, without exception, the worst possible choice. Your career falls out of step with the times. Your thinking falls behind the present. Every decision you make only makes life worse.

7. Weakness of heart leads to the collapse of willpower, and further to the dulling of thought. You finally wake up and realize: even lying flat and detachment require real strength to sustain. You start to panic. You start to scramble. But now you discover that several serious problems stand directly in your way.

8. You discover that between you and the peers who maintained their drive all along, there is an invisible, enormous chasm. Your comprehension is poor — the same situation that others grasp in two or three sentences takes you far longer to work through, and you still miss the subtext. Countless times you have read contempt and dismissal in others’ eyes, yet you cannot even find a way to push back within reasonable bounds. Hold your tongue and people see weakness. Speak up and people think you’re unstable.

9. Years of frustration and daily suppression make you realize: you are not nearly as unbothered and free-spirited as you believed. All that talk of “not caring about material things” or “being above ambition” — that was just a comfortable excuse you created because you couldn’t compete. Why do people who seem lesser than you beat you in every category? Why do people who work far less hard than you get five or six years’ worth of results in a single year — simply because they know which direction to push and what angle to attack? Especially when you watch your own family forced to envy others because of your giving up. You panic. You lose your footing. You scramble. And sure enough — you make a mistake.

10. In this life, there are two things to fear most. First: mistaking years of laziness and wasted time for patience and keeping a low profile. Second: believing that all the suffering you’ve endured will surely be rewarded with one or two life-reversing turns of fortune. I’m sorry — these are delusions that only the most foolish people tell themselves.

The truth is: the moment you stepped into the world, you entered a grand advancement competition. In your youth, when your physical and mental energy were at their peak, you should have been steadily mastering your craft and drawing close to the elders and leaders who had actually achieved results — not blending in with those who surrendered from the very start. You must proactively learn how to carry yourself in the world. You must set aside emotion and think clearly about the balance of interests in different professional situations, and about what others are thinking. And you must constantly make effective use of your free time. Expanding the boundaries of your capability, stepping out of your comfort zone, mastering new skills, deepening the bonds of quality relationships — these are what will genuinely reward you for the rest of your life.

When you begin to achieve results in these areas, step by step, you will find that no game, no streaming binge, no idle chat can compare to the satisfaction of real accomplishment.

Human beings are a remarkable species. We possess the greatest capacity for transformation and adaptation of anything on earth. But when you spend every day eating junk, living in disorder, and surrounding yourself with bad company for too long — pulling yourself back out of that state becomes harder than climbing to heaven.

Many readers who come to me for a destiny reading (BaZi) during their lowest points have exactly this problem: prolonged bad fortune has allowed these issues to take root so deeply they seem immovable. What can be done? Only a forced restart.

I can lay out your life pattern, your prospects, and your Chi fortune with complete clarity — but the final decision to discard all past mistakes and begin life anew belongs to you and you alone.

I will not deceive you: I have helped far too many brothers and sisters crawl out of the mud, but I must also admit — it is genuinely, profoundly difficult. And yet sometimes, until you push yourself, you truly don’t know that you actually have the gift.

Here is something worth noting: because I have always made it a point to explain the detailed steps of execution when I analyze someone’s life pattern, prospects, and Chi fortune, many brothers and sisters come away knowing exactly which direction to work in. And when you achieve that first real result, you rediscover a confidence you forgot you had. So it turns out — I can do this. I am capable. With a clear direction, I really can step by step take hold of wealth, prospects, noble benefactors, and opportunity with my own hands.

This — is precisely what I can do for you.
