Today is the 41st birthday of the great football legend Cristiano Ronaldo (CR7) and the 49th birthday of crypto industry leader CZ (Crypto Tech). It's quite an interesting coincidence that top figures from different industries share many similar underlying qualities. CR7 also has a contracted player with Binance. In the streets of Dubai, you can often see him pointing to Binance advertisements. This level of collaboration reflects a combination of values and influence. Even more similar are their backgrounds and paths. Neither Ronaldo nor CZ came from privileged backgrounds. They lacked resources and easy access; they achieved their success entirely through long-term self-discipline, continuous effort, and extreme focus on their goals. One honed himself into a legendary footballer, the other built a global infrastructure platform in the fintech field. Their paths are different, but their core values are very similar. They share a very obvious commonality: long-termism and extremely high self-discipline. Cristiano Ronaldo maintains top-level training intensity at his age, and CZ, despite his position, continues to build, engage with the community, and advance the industry daily. This dedication alone puts them far ahead of most others. From humble beginnings to leaders in their respective fields, this is the result of time, discipline, and strategic choices. This is why outstanding individuals often exhibit remarkably similar qualities and trajectories, even on completely different paths.
