You can fool anyone else, but not yourself.
To get to the essence of things, you must fully recognize that humans’ greatest trait is lying.
Someone asked a young woman, “What’s wrong with a guy making 3,000 yuan a month?”
She answered, “He’s glued to his phone from morning to night, comes home and plays games. That kind of guy is a player—how can you trust him with your life?”
Then they asked her, “What’s good about a guy making 300,000 a month who rents out properties full-time?”
She said, “He’s always on his phone and heads home early to play games. Such a family-oriented man is obviously worth trusting with your life.”
Same behavior—playing on the phone, gaming. On the 3,000-yuan-a-month guy, it’s a flaw. On the 300,000-a-month guy, it becomes a virtue.
If you keep obsessing over the phone-playing and gaming, you’re missing the point.
The truth isn’t what someone says—it’s what someone is thinking.If you refuse to face this, you’re lying to yourself.
Think about it: do people buy stocks just to be shareholders, or is it really about profit? Every opening position implies a closing position. Every investment implies cashing out. Every entry implies an exit. Every deception implies兑现.
In the worst-case scenario, have a backup plan, keep a fallback.
What determines a person’s happiness is not reality—it’s expectation.Don’t fool yourself, which meanswhether the other person is truly honorable or not, you should treat them as if they’re hypocritical, prepare contingency plans—most preparation is meant to go unused, not to be used.
