Daily Focused Q&A Time: About Confusion and Entrepreneurial Impulses
Actually, I don’t think you’re incapable, I just think you’re too impatient. You have several obvious strengths: You’re willing to endure hardship, having worked in many factories; You’re brave to try new things; You’re not content with mediocrity; You’re interested in business and finance. These are qualities that not everyone has. But your current problem, is not a lack of ability, but an over desire to prove yourself. You mentioned trading cryptocurrencies, from making money to losing it all back, many young people have experienced this. No matter which coin projects, cryptocurrency at this stage is essentially a gamble, high volatility markets require excellent position management and emotional control. That’s not something you can win just by “having courage.” Currently, you’re in debt, and what you truly need to solve isn’t just a chance to turn things around, but three issues: First, do you have a stable cash flow? Second, do you have a hard skill that can be continuously improved? Third, do you have a direction you can settle into for 3–5 years? Starting a business isn’t about “young people must gamble once.” Entrepreneurship happens naturally when you have the ability, and you will reach that point in time. Your father was able to grow from a street vendor to a large business, not because he gambled, but because he accumulated long-term in a specific track. Later, losses were due to cycles and judgment, which doesn’t mean “daring to gamble is right.” If you ask me now, where will your future competitiveness come from? I believe it’s in “compound interest ability.” You’re majoring in digital trading, interested in finance and trade, which is actually a very good combination. Instead of continuing to look for opportunities in high-volatility assets, it’s better to focus on: learning data analysis with AI, learning to read financial reports, learning basic risk control, and then improving your English, and finding a position related to cross-border e-commerce, trade, or supply chain. Enter a real business environment first, even if the salary isn’t high. What’s most important now, is not making quick money, but building “replicable skills.” And one more important point: You don’t need to prove yourself with one success. Your value isn’t determined by how much you earn. Your father supports you, not because you must win, but because he wants you to grow. Gradually pay off your debts, stabilize your life. Lay a foundation over 2–3 years. Truly impressive people, are not those who have never fallen, but those who, after falling, no longer fall in the same way. This isn’t failure; you’re still in the learning stage. Don’t rush to turn things around; first, learn to stabilize.
