This afternoon, I chatted with some friends and felt that their concept of assets is just numbers. I was also thinking about a question: the development and wealth of coastal cities rely on opportunities and courage. It's still the same saying: the timid starve, while the bold thrive. One must strive to expand their knowledge, work hard to monetize resources, and not let oneself become someone they dislike, becoming a loser.
Without a family background, no connections, no genius mind, and no exceptional skills, yet still being discontent with the status quo and envying others' luxurious lives, then remember: wealth is sought in danger.
I also believe that opportunities are important. In 2016, I worked in security at a financial company, and my leader advised me to study blockchain and focus on blockchain security. At that time, Bitcoin in the country was quite cheap, around 5000. I haven't kept track now, but it should be worth more than that in dollars. Only through hard work can one step into this blue ocean and find opportunities.
What I can do now is to work hard to accumulate enough capital for the future. Once I have a certain amount of capital, I need to protect it well while learning about investment knowledge and maintaining a sensitive mind, waiting for opportunities to arise. There are three key points in this.
First:#
Cherish your first pot of gold; it is your seed. Those young people who dare to buy an 18W car with 20W are fools, really fools. It is essential to distinguish between investment items and consumables. Consumables depreciate as soon as you buy them and will continuously consume your capital.
Second:#
Stay sensitive and curious, broaden your horizons and knowledge. You need to learn and not make assertions. If you look online, there were many people mocking Bitcoin when it first appeared. There are still many people mocking stock investors now. These people have a characteristic: they are self-righteous and have preconceived notions. In my opinion, such people are hopeless; even if you present them with a tremendous opportunity, they will shallowly make another assertion and continue to play in the mud. Moreover, these people will jump out after your failure and say, "See? I told you XXXXX long ago."
Third:#
You need to learn some investment knowledge and financing methods. They are useful at critical moments; otherwise, even if you get on board, you won't be able to stay. That's my thought; I believe that not being a complete fool is enough to achieve this.
