When human cognition falls short, it’s often hard to stay clear-headed.

You have no money, yet you look down on average-looking women, constantly fixating on beautiful ones while complaining that they care about money.

What is a beautiful woman,本质上? She is one of those high-paid employees.

Are high-paid employees content? Obviously not. They believe that after changing jobs, they will be highly sought after, so why would they stay put?

You like beautiful women, and rich, powerful men like them too. So how can you expect beautiful women to be content? What you wish for—a beautiful woman who doesn’t mind your poverty—is essentially the same as hoping a top salesperson refuses all the competing offers from recruiters.

Do you think your mindset is reasonable? When it’s you changing jobs, it’s called “self-realization”; but when a beautiful woman leaves you because she thinks you’re poor, it’s labeled “gold-digging” instead? Aren’t you being double-standard?

Companies don’t hire people simply because they are impressive; they hire based on what the role needs.

Some ambitious positions, like sales, really do hire whoever is best, because results reflect directly on the company’s bottom line. But for many long-term projects, roles where you need steady work over several years before results appear, companies often hire the most suitable person rather than the most outstanding one. Companies also fear that if someone is too exceptional, they won’t stay stable. After all, not every role demands ambition; some roles require loyalty and stability.

Stillness leads to peace, peace leads to reflection, reflection leads to fulfillment.
