The Secret of Life
As long as you keep focusing on doing the right one thing, you can eventually obtain everything you want in life. That one thing is:
— Relentlessly challenge yourself to do what is right but extremely difficult, something no one has ever done before. —
This should be something that enables people, in a certain niche of life, to achieve a qualitative leap at least an order of magnitude better than any existing solution.
In the process of being completely focused on this pursuit (you may fail countless times, but succeeding just once in your lifetime is enough—and the younger you are, the lower the cost of trial and error), you will gradually discover and harvest your own sense of life’s meaning, fulfillment, astonishing wealth and social status, admirers, and most importantly — trustworthy partners and family.
Everything else is bullshit.
Any of the so-called “great figures” who have changed the world were simply doing this same thing over and over again.
And those who have not changed the world (most people around you fall into this category) will tell you to focus on immediate competition — to outcompete your classmates and colleagues, to enter a more prestigious school or company, and then to slowly climb step by step on the social ladder artificially constructed by those who did change the world.
人生的秘诀
(原文是我在2022年5月2日在微信朋友圈上用中文写的)
人生只要一直专注于做对一件事，就可以得到你想要拥有的一切。那就是：
---持续得挑战去做正确但无比艰难 且前人没有做过的事---
这件事应该是可以帮助人们生活中的某一细分领域获得比现存的任何方案至少高出一个量级以上的质的提升。
在极度聚焦于做这件事情的过程中（可以失败N次，但这辈子只要做成一次就可以，而且越年轻试错成本就越低），你会在这段旅途中慢慢收获/探索到属于自己的生活的意义、成就感、惊人的财富与社会地位、仰慕你的人、以及最重要的 --- 值得信赖的伙伴与家人。
其他一切都是Bullshit.
任何改变过世界的我们认为的大人物们都只是不断地重复的做着这件事。
而没有改变过世界的人（大家身边大概率都是这类人），会告诉你，要专注于眼前的竞争，要竞争过你身边的同学、同事，要去到更有名气的学校或公司去，然后一点点在这个 被改变过世界的人所人为建造的 社会阶梯慢慢往上爬。
