Many people are unconvinced, saying that the money of the rich seems to have been blown in by the wind.
And one thing that the poor firmly believe is, "As long as you work hard enough, you can change your fate."
But the reality of the system's rules is harsh and simple —
Wealth has never been a function of effort but rather a result of choosing the right position.
When you see someone seemingly reaping rewards effortlessly, it’s not because he doesn’t put in the effort,
but because he has long stood on a track with higher efficiency and greater leverage.
The same effort applied in different places yields vastly different results.
Recently, an investment fund came back,
and someone who has followed me for many years and participated throughout remarked:
"This feeling of getting something for nothing is really nice."
I only replied to him with one sentence:
"Being able to believe and hold on to it is itself the hardest work."
Because before "believing," you must first understand.
Understanding the industry, understanding people, and understanding how risks are transmitted within the system.
That is not gambling, but a rational bet made after understanding the rules.
Effort is certainly important.
But if you are in the wrong system, effort will only be infinitely diluted,
or even magnify your ineffective contributions.
True wealth flows,
not relying on physical strength, not relying on emotions,
but on the wind direction and your position.
So the money of the rich does indeed seem to come as if blown in by the wind.
It’s just that they choose to stand in the wind rather than frantically fanning in place.
