Everyone possesses unique attributes. Some are warm, some are rational or even cold, some are agile, some have a business sense, and some have an artistic temperament.
Choosing to do things that align with one's own temperament often yields twice the results with half the effort. A rational person who insists on being melancholic will be laughed at, and an artistic and creative person who forces themselves to restrain themselves, like a legal elite, will also make a fool of themselves.
Conversely, calm rationality tends to lead to greater success in business because it involves dealing with people with weak ties, requiring a high degree of self-control, the ability to appreciate and adjust, and the proactive ability to solve other people's problems. In choosing a spouse, one should also choose someone mature enough to discuss anything. People with an artistic temperament are not suited to discussing money; they are better suited to work around their ideals, sharing the same self-awareness.
The essence of money is relationships. What are relationships built on? If you only rely on men and women having children, you don't need to apologize when others discard you. Relationships are built by helping people solve problems. The more problems you can solve, the stronger the relationship, and the less you'll have to worry about money. All money problems are ultimately people problems.
Relying on kinship for survival, the traditional notion of raising children for old-age security, or the idea that marrying well is better than working hard, is no longer acceptable. Instead, modern society should reward those who work for it. The latter mindset is more appropriate: enriching one's means of exchange and solving problems for others is fundamental to survival.
I admire family ties, but I do not accept using kinship for survival. Children need nurturing, parents need care, and it's natural for couples to manage their family business collaboratively—but neither should try to hold the other hostage.
How can we help more people solve their more pressing problems? For example, making a living, earning money, learning survival skills, improving one's mental well-being, etc. Before pursuing professional learning, in-depth research, and continuously expanding the range of people we can help, we must first find our own intuition and talents, and then pursue them.
Individuality either becomes excessive, pursued for its own sake, or it becomes nonexistent. Why not be clearer: is individuality for the sake of making money, or for finding one's own way of survival?
Don't always hold back big moves. Endure hardship and persevere. Goujian's success was due to his gradual planning; otherwise, could an army be trained in a day?
Focus on solving problems for people using commercially relevant keywords. Don't always try to make a splash; it doesn't benefit people, and if they don't benefit, you don't benefit either. Never strive for sensationalism; instead, help more people and maintain sound values.
Is the purpose of understanding human nature, improving your mindset, and knowing others to appear clever? No, it's to comfortably help others, make them comfortable, and incidentally make money. Producers of popular culture are definitely worth learning from; they have consistently strived for this.
