Keep to your station and await the right moment; one should not contend with destiny.
If you want to achieve your goals (gain certain accomplishments) within your lifetime, there is only one way to accelerate: lower your demands on the environment.
In other words, if others need to drink milk but I only need grass; if others eat grass but I'm willing to eat shit—then if I can grow by eating shit, who can stop my growth? Doing what others can't, enduring what others can't—essentially, it means not treating yourself as a person. When you stop treating yourself like one, your survival space expands.
If you insist on feeling comfortable before doing anything, you'll accomplish nothing. Success itself is a process that crushes humanity—is it about whether you're willing to exert all your strength to grab a pile of shit? If yes, then no one can outdo you.
If you try to exchange $50 for someone else's $100, you'll never close the deal in your entire life, always standing still. But if you're willing to trade $100 for their $50, you'll break through. Surviving depends on your willingness to委屈 yourself.
