"To get rich and turn your life around, you have to be ruthless—you absolutely have to be ruthless." I've never met Xia Xueyi, but I always felt she was a ruthless person with a strong sense of luck in getting help from others—and I always thought that people with good luck in getting help from others would have many advantages. He also did some things that shocked me, such as sharing his views in family and friends groups, saying he wanted to buy Bitcoin. I would never dare to have that kind of enthusiasm, because human nature is too complicated. If you make money, you're awesome; if you lose money, you're an idiot... Returning to this article, my strongest feeling is "ruthlessness"—my definition of ruthlessness is not viciousness or evil, but rather a kind of obsession and decisiveness. There was a line in a clothing advertisement that said, "A man has to be tough on himself," which has always stuck with me. What is ruthlessness? Getting up immediately after waking up, or losing weight instantly when you decide to lose it—these are all things that are difficult, but there are even harder ones. For example, if you say what kind of person you want to be in 5 years, and then immediately start taking action, persist for 5 years, and become the person you want to be and should be, that's really awesome. In life, whatever your goal may be, as long as it is big enough, you persist long enough, and you maintain your fighting spirit long enough, you are a truly ruthless person. Some people may have the false ruthlessness of "if eating shit could make you rich immediately," but they lack the true ruthlessness of thinking about problems from a 10-year perspective. There are several points in Xia Xueyi's reflection that I found particularly insightful: First, he said he had completely failed, losing 90% of his assets. This is actually a result of a All In, all-in approach: heavily investing in altcoins. The crypto market has changed, but he persisted for too long—which was also one of the ways he made his fortune in the past. This ruthlessness is also reflected in finally facing his past mistakes head-on and resolutely correcting them. Everyone makes mistakes, but those who can identify their mistakes and resolutely correct them are truly amazing. For example, if someone who has been smoking for many years decides to quit and does so immediately, that person is bound to be a good person. There was a man in history who said that practicing martial arts required self-castration, and he immediately cut himself open with a snap. This man later became invincible... Secondly, setting a 10-year goal to return to the top is also a kind of ruthlessness. Everyone should set a goal for themselves 10 years from now and have a clear path to achieve it. Without a crazy goal, there will be no crazy result. Men have to be ruthless to themselves in order to have the strength to treat the people they care about well.
