As an ordinary person, the only asset you have is time.

If you spend your time keeping up with social trends and internet memes, you can’t afford that waste. No matter how society changes, human nature stays the same — only your time gets wasted.

Studying the knife marks on the previous person’s corpse is the only meaningful thing to do. Everything else is wasted effort. What you need is to walk across this bumpy人生 road — not sink into the potholes and argue with others about which one is worse. Every坑 is still a坑. The best life is avoiding them altogether.

The more ordinary you are, the less you can afford to lose. And the less you can afford to lose, the more you must focus your energy on things that actually produce results.
