Don't believe in "hard work leads to wealth"; that's just an anesthetic used to stabilize the底层劳动力. Pure effort is not only cheap but also subject to diminishing marginal returns. You stay awake 24 hours a day to screw in screws, but you won't be able to buy a house in Beijing. Because your "effort" is linear growth; while the "era dividend" is an exponential explosion. The so-called "dividend" is essentially a high-speed elevator. You do push-ups in the elevator, thinking it's your physical strength that makes you go higher, but in fact, it's the elevator itself moving. And those who didn't get on the elevator, even if they run their legs off on the stairs, can only smell your exhaust fumes. True ability has never been about the endurance of "working hard with your head down," but about the judgment of "looking up and seeing the road," and the decisiveness of "daring to get on the ride." In this world, choice is greater than effort, and trend is greater than talent. What you need to do is be the person pressing the elevator button, not the maintenance worker responsible for fixing the elevator.
