Five pieces of wisdom about interpersonal relationships: First, treat acquaintances as strangers to maintain boundaries; the ones who can hurt you the most are acquaintances. Second, treat newcomers as potential threats; humans have no natural enemies, and peers can be enemies. You should first be wary before being kind, so that the kindness later will be appreciated rather than taken for granted. Third, treat all relationships as short-term; every relationship is a value relationship, and no relationship can maintain its value indefinitely. Fourth, regard benefactors as exceptional horses, and see yourself as the one who recognizes their potential. Choose a horse that is faster than you to carry you forward, and life will accelerate. You must groom the horse well and feed it properly. Fifth, treat others as dogs and see yourself as a god. This comparison of dogs and gods is not meant to be derogatory; it is neutral. Most people are unaware that they are domesticated and programmed dogs, and even less aware that they inherently possess spirituality. Managing the relationship between humans and dogs, or the relationship between gods and humans, becomes much simpler.

One day you will understand that answering a question with something irrelevant is still a response, keeping your distance is a sign of dislike, silence means refusal, being evasive is lying, and a cold war means not fearing loss. Some things don't need to be questioned; if you think about it carefully, all the details are the answers.

Don't get tangled up in the past, and don't worry about the future. Just focus on doing the present tasks with dedication and seriousness, and you'll find that there aren't so many troubles in this world. The reason you feel troubled is that you are thinking about future matters in the present, trying to solve them. In fact, if you just go with the flow, you'll realize that those issues that keep you up at night are not really problems in the end.

Why can some people from the lower strata climb out, while others can never escape? Some people have strong execution, while others have poor execution; what is the key difference? The essence lies in the fact that most people—especially those at the bottom—often only desire "certainty" while neglecting "possibility." But you must understand that certainty does not belong to the lower strata. It only belongs to the vested interests. What the lower strata should grasp is precisely the "possibility." So what is "certainty"? For example: if you give me a certain amount of money, I guarantee you a certain return. Such promises may seem tempting, but they are often traps. Whether in business or investment, as long as someone promises you "certain returns," you need to be cautious—they are after your principal, not a win-win with you. True certainty will not flow into the market. For instance, whether a piece of land can be acquired or whether a project can be undertaken, true resources of certainty circulate within circles, and you will never get to see them. Once you can "see" it, you are likely just a supporting role. Therefore, what we should truly pursue is "possibility"—the kind of opportunity where no one can promise you anything, but if you work hard, you might gain a return. This is also why truly reliable people or projects never easily make promises. Because they know that there is no absolute certainty in the world; what they tell you is about risks and possibilities, not extravagant guarantees. Only a fraud would promise you "guaranteed profits." The biggest dilemma for the lower strata is that they "cannot afford to lose," which is why they desire "certainty" even more. But the reality is: anything you can access that seems certain is almost always a pitfall, a beautifully disguised trap. Conversely, those who do not promise you anything, but only provide a platform, are willing to experiment together, and are willing to work with you, are the truly trustworthy opportunities. Because they offer you possibility, not the certainty that tempts you.

You have the upbringing that doesn't hurt others, but you lack a kind of aura that prevents you from being hurt. If no one protects you completely, then please carry a bit of sharpness in your kindness to safeguard yourself. You need to understand that in this world, if you are good without reservation, the other party can be bad without restraint.

Rely more on intuition; intuition is the highest science. Intuition is the subconscious, the unconscious, your first reaction. Has your subconscious ever harmed you? Intuition is spirituality, it is holistic, and it is the strongest ability for making decisions and setting direction. The mind is of the body, it connects with human affairs, and it strategizes and directs bodily actions. Physical action is the only way to achieve results. Just thinking without acting, no matter how high your cognition, is still useless. It is through intuition that we engage the brain and drive the body, achieving the unity of knowledge and action.

Every major turning point in life is accompanied by a complete blow; it seems that fate is pushing you to the brink, destroying your beliefs and overturning your understanding. However, it is this painful reshaping that allows you to be reborn. When you hit rock bottom, don’t be in a hurry to give up, because the moment of breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly is often when fate quietly arrives.

When dogs meet, they either sniff or lick. When people meet, they either deceive or act. When I was young, I was afraid of ghosts because they were terrifying. When I grew up, I was afraid of people, again because they were well-dressed. When I acted like a bad person, those bad people would come to bully me. When I acted like a bad person, those bad people would come to judge me. The reason the ugly duckling turned into a swan is not because it worked hard, but because its parents were swans. Strange animals are protected, while strange people are ostracized. Once a blind person regains their sight, the first thing they do is throw away their cane, even if that cane helped them for many years. Don't expect others to help you in your time of need; be grateful if no one is throwing dirt in your face. When you fall, there will always be someone reaching out, not to pull you up, but to slap you hard. When it doesn't concern them, everyone is magnanimous; when they are deeply harmed, everyone is selfish. Just as when everyone is drunk, your sobriety becomes the greatest sin. A hospital can't save a poor good person, but it can save a rich bad person. When a good person does something bad, it's called revealing their true nature, while when a bad person does something good, it's called a prodigal returning. The more you fear, the more people will bully you; if you fear nothing, no one will bully you. How long a scammer can deceive you depends on the fool. Soft-hearted people will always be trampled, while hard-hearted people will always be carefree. When the water splashes on you, the saying 'the pure will remain pure' is just a joke. Even the deepest abyss has a bottom, but a person's heart is inscrutable. The human heart is like a mountain; no matter how hard you try, you can't move its prejudices. We often play the judge, condemning others while considering ourselves innocent. The card of beauty combined with any other card is a trump card, leading to a deadlock.

It wasn't until I grew up that I realized friends are fluid. Many of us are forced to become friends, simply because we happen to be trapped in the same environment, bound to each other by limited choices. Once we leave that environment, many of us would not become friends.

Certain human scum, ghosts from a dark era of the past, linger on, always hoping to bring back the darkness of the past. They oppose everything advanced and bright, so their specialty is to rally a group of uneducated trash, and together they wave their flags and shout, because this group of trash is the easiest to be misled. The biggest characteristic of this mob is that the more they lack, the more they hate. They lack culture, so they hate cultured people. They lack intelligence, so they hate smart people. They have low aesthetic standards, so they hate high art. They have outdated views, so they hate advanced and avant-garde ideas. They have shallow thoughts, so they hate profound ideas that they cannot understand. They are mediocre, so they hate all exceptional people. Therefore, these human scum unite with this mob, inciting their emotions, creating illusions for the trash, making them truly believe they are capable again. This group of trashy mob always waits for the human scum they support to provide specific goals. The specialty of human scum is to label people; once someone or a group is labeled, the thousands of mobs under their command will swarm in, attacking en masse, allowing them to achieve a certain psychological balance in a short time, but what cannot be concealed is that they are still trash. Perhaps with a little more time, they will realize that everything they have done is meaningless, their words and actions are extremely foolish, and their minds are like being caught in a door, turning into complete idiots. Why do these human scum stir up trouble? The first reason is for money, which needs no explanation. The second is that they are nearing death, so they must make one last crazy act before they die. The closer they get to death, the crazier they become, but they may never understand the people they worship until they die. In a vast operational system, they are ultimately just a tool within the system. If the system itself is a dead end, no matter how much you support it, it will ultimately lead to a dead end. Therefore, the fundamental reason a person becomes human scum is stupidity. Stupidity is a significant moral defect and a major personality flaw, which will ultimately lead to a split personality. Thus, the most common state exhibited by these human scum is that they seem to have two completely opposite personalities. Because they cannot face the fact that what they support is essentially a completely rotten substance. It's like a person who falls in love with a pile of feces; they can only love the pile of feces while turning around to eat Scottish noodles. They would never eat the feces themselves, but the mob misled by them will rush to eat it. The more the mob enjoys eating, the more it allows these human scum to feel their faith is strong. And the more the human scum wave their flags and shout, the more the mob finds psychological balance. The two groups are like a lady and a customer, comforting and warming each other. When the transaction ends and they part ways, only endless emptiness and despair remain.
