Complex problems don’t have simple solutions

The easy stuff is never available to someone like us. If we want to avoid regret, what else can we do? We must plan ahead—success comes to those who prepare; failure comes to those who don’t. Think three steps further than others. Take one more step.

Calculations made before things happen are effective. After the fact, it’s all just crying over spilled milk—purely futile.

College entrance exams ended and you “realize” you need to study hard? You got laid off at 35 and finally understand that a company isn’t family? Does that help?

Whether it’s technology, building products, or even how you conduct yourself in life (and by “how you conduct yourself,” I mean not interpersonal skills, but for whom you’re working—you know what I mean). At the end of the day, it always boils down to the same phrase: one moment you’re on top, the next you’re……

What are we actually doing in this life?

We’re coping and making choices.

How do we cope?

Through judgment. You must first judge correctly before you can choose correctly.

What informs your judgment?

Analysis. You must analyze not only what profound shifts are occurring in various fields today but also evaluate the hand you’ve been dealt.

Given your limited resources, how do you navigate complex situations? People at different stages with different hands will arrive at different answers.
