The Need for Comprehensive Awareness of Constraints in Various Aspects
Everyone has their own value. As long as you fulfill your historical mission, you are a hero. On an individual level, the mission is always to lead your family and extended family to keep climbing the social ladder, not to worry about the latest gossip.
The lower your income, the higher and more abstract the issues you care about. For instance, someone earning 3,000 yuan a month might ponder how Russia will develop over the next century. But those managing massive funds—the big players and top financial institutions—couldn't care less about such grand questions. What they care about is simple: how to allocate the capital they hold. Put more crudely, what are they betting on right now, and what's their strategy?
The wealthier you get, the more grounded and practical you become. Your goals sharpen because many people are waiting for you to make up your mind, take decisive action, and set the direction before they can execute. Once you've tasted meat, you only want more of it—keeping your focus laser-sharp. Conversely, those who have never tasted meat have scattered, unfocused minds. (Their own hourly worth is low, so they busy themselves worrying about things that have nothing to do with them.)
Institutions and major players don't waste time figuring out who is right or wrong. They ignore useless distractions and instead focus on the elements of certainty within various changes—the parts that let them make money.
