Strawman Direct Translation: Strawman Alternative: Adding a Charge/Accusation (or: Adding a Fault) The act of distorting an opponent’s arguments to make them easier to attack. By exaggerating, distorting, or even completely fabricating an opponent’s arguments, one presents their own position as more reasonable. However, sincere and rational debate is destroyed by this form of argumentation, which is essentially fraudulent. Example: Xiao Ming says: “The state should invest more funds in the medical and education sectors.” Xiao Liang replies: “That’s terrifying!

The author presents an argument, supports it with numerous examples, and then uses their own perspective to explain various phenomena in the world. Once I feel like I’ve understood this argument, I stop reading further. There are so many such books; I call them pseudo-science bestsellers. +++

For example, I bought a new car and am now waiting for delivery. Naturally, I pay close attention to this matter, going onto the forum every evening to check and research related information. Why do I do this? It is just an ordinary car; it won’t bring any substantial change to my life. I know that as soon as the car is in hand, I won’t pay attention to it anymore. The key point of the problem lies in my obsession with the “desire” for external things. The fixation I have towards external things that bring me happiness and joy is actually a kind of delusion.

I believe that life itself isn’t that difficult; it is ourselves who makes life difficult. I am striving to shed the word “should” in my life. When “should” appears in the mind, what lies behind it is guilt or social conditioning. If you do something because of “should,” it means deep down you don’t want to do it, and going against your own will will make you unbearably miserable. Therefore, I strive to reduce the things I do in life because of “should.”

The reality is, life is a single-player game. Humans are born alone, die alone, and interpret everything in the world by themselves. Your memories belong only to you. Before you are born, no one cares, and after you leave the world, no one cares. You exist in the world for only a short few decades; life is a single-player game.

If you keep counting down the time until success truly arrives, your patience will be worn thin. Success Takes Time, Even When Everything Is Prepared Even if all conditions are met, success still requires time. During the waiting process, patience will gradually run out. Notebook Record these moments; no matter how small the progress, it is worth celebrating.

I took a risk. Same with crypto. Early on, I took a risk. But when you put your name out there, you take a risk with certain things. You also get to reap the rewards. You get the benefits.

Owning equity in a company basically means you own the upside. When you own debt, you own guaranteed revenue streams and you own the downside. You want to own equity. If you don’t own equity in a business, your odds of making money are very slim.

Your boss will always pay you just good enough.

Essentially, you’re working for somebody else, and that person is taking on the risk and has the accountability, the intellectual property, and the brand. They’re not going to pay you enough. They’re going to pay you the bare minimum they have to, to get you to do their job. That can be a high bare minimum, but it’s still not going to be true wealth where you’re retired but still earning.
