I saw a video on Douyin today asking elementary school students whether to choose a Tsinghua University acceptance letter or 100 million yuan.
It was quite interesting, but after thinking about it, which would I choose?
I wouldn't choose either.
Even if I went to Tsinghua University, I wouldn't understand the lectures; it would be useless.
Even if I had 100 million yuan now, I couldn't hold onto it; I'd probably lose it all.
It would be better to have never had it at all.
I'm actually quite satisfied with my current situation. I still have hope of becoming rich, I have expectations.
Living isn't about living for a result, it's about living for hope.
Besides, I don't like cheating.
I especially enjoy playing Souls-like games, like Sekiro. After repeatedly getting beaten up, defeating the boss gives me a greater sense of accomplishment.
Using cheats to one-shot the boss feels like it takes away the fun of the game.
Maybe one day, I'll get incredibly lucky and earn 100 million yuan through my own efforts.
