Only after burning through tens of millions did I understand the importance of patterns. Before I was 24, I primarily relied on experience and personal effort to start my own business—more accurately, brute force. Until I went bankrupt. After that, I spent almost a whole year reviewing my past. The problem I discovered was that some of my cognitive framework was correct, some was wrong, and even more crucially, I had no idea which ones were wrong. My mistakes almost all stemmed from inertial thinking and faulty assumptions. So, I later tried a new approach: I first assumed I was wrong, overturning my existing understanding. Then I re-learned, using classic texts to rebuild my own cognitive system: everything in the world is governed by patterns. These objective laws are not subject to personal will, nor will they be relaxed simply because you work hard. Since then, I have essentially embraced patterns as the foundation of my cognitive framework, and I no longer easily act based on empiricism or inertia. Therefore, when judging many things, I tend to look for things that remain constant rather than things that change. Once you've found the unchanging laws, using them as your foundation and then exercising your subjective initiative, things will become much easier and smoother.

I'm almost 30 in the blink of an eye. I've been reflecting on the few insights that have helped me the most over the years: 1. This world is governed by laws. Everything has its own laws, and everyone has their own laws. When I first started my business, I often gave myself a lot of pep talks and worked blindly. It wasn't until I fell and suffered a lot that I truly understood the meaning of the word "law." Once I understood objective laws, achieving success simply required following the flow. 2. Fully understand yourself. Each of us is merely a carrier of genes, a random card drawn at birth. Everyone has different attributes, and there's no good or bad. To maximize our potential in this vast virtual machine, we need to understand our own talents and then exercise our subjective initiative. 3. Live in the present; the past and the future are illusions. We often focus too much on the future, as if everything we do today is a plan for the future, while the present is constantly neglected. I used to think that I would be happy and content once I earned a certain amount of money or achieved a certain goal. This is like a donkey with a carrot hanging on its back, forever dominated by desires and never happy. In fact, the only real thing is the present moment. No matter what stage of life you are in, you should treat yourself well and treat life well. You should treat those who treat you well even better and be a happy person.

What I hope most now is that the KOL rounds in which I invested a lot last year can also be as strong as Soon, giving me another chance to hedge.

How to make money in your life 😹😹 #meme #StablecoinLaw

I originally sold $pythia at 35M, but after thinking about it recently, I decided to buy it back. I basically don’t understand this coin, and I spent almost 10M of funds to get it from CTO. I reflected on it, and it may not be the dealer’s problem, but my own problem. Everyone would think that how can the dealer exit with such a high price, either he is not interested in it, or it is pure stupid money. I chose to believe that he is not interested in it, and I hope it will reach 100M next week. 🤣

Many people believe in fatalism, and I personally believe in it, but why do we still have to work hard? In my opinion, fate is the factory setting, and luck can be fought for. Your factory setting cannot determine it. Some people are born in Rome, with a very high starting point, which is indeed unselectable and unchangeable. But the meaning of hard work is to determine whether you can touch the upper limit of your own destiny. For example, some people's destiny range may be 1-10, and some people may be 10-50. If you don't work hard, you may always stay at 1 or 10; but if you work hard enough, you can get close to the limit of 10, or even reach the ceiling of 50. The meaning of hard work is to get you as close to the upper limit of destiny as possible and reach your own extreme value.

The muscle reaction formed when starting a new team after many years of entrepreneurship: Is the business model feasible? Is it in line with long-termism? What kind of talents does this business model require? What qualities and capabilities do partners have? What are my own strengths and what position do I fit in? How should the organization divide the work, is the organizational structure modular, and is it scalable in the future? What kind of pace should be suitable for the current stage, fast or slow?

In the short term, luck matters, and in the long term, skills matter. The most attractive thing about Texas Hold'em is that luck matters too much in the short term, which easily gives people the illusion that they can win. That's why there are so many players willing to play this game. If you lose every day, you won't be interested in playing. But in the long term, luck will return to the mean. In the end, it must be skills, and it depends on whether your trading model has made a positive EV decision.
