In such a fully competitive era, everyone will be promoted to a position they are completely incapable of handling until they stop.

If you're able to get promoted in rapid succession, like a rocket, there's only one reason: you've exceeded your job description every single time.

What does "those with the Way gain much support, those without it gain little" mean?

What is the Way? It's return on investment. Your own return, the return you can provide.

Just improve yourself a bit, and the whole world will be chasing you—money runs after people, not people after money.

You could get two points of return by improving yourself just a little, so why refuse to do something so clear-cut? Instead, you keep telling yourself you don't need to change anything at all—that switching jobs will bring passion, moving to a new city will bring success, or changing partners will bring happiness?

Is this self-deception, or what?
