The lower the level, the easier it is to fall into the trap of "pseudo-excellence." Earning only a few thousand a month, daring to buy a bag worth thousands on installment; having zero savings, daring to take out loans to buy luxury cars to impress others. What's the point? Chasing that fleeting sense of vanity, that little "status" in an ordinary life, craving that pathetic "freshness." And what’s the result? After a brief moment of pleasure, it's endless credit card debt, and the shame of not daring to quit your job. To put it bluntly, what is this called? This is called a donkey. To make himself work harder, the donkey loans himself a grindstone. The grindstone is yours now, but you might as well forget about ever stepping down in this life.
