The Frustration of Missed Opportunities in the Era
Since the reform and opening up in the 80s, the wave of entrepreneurship in the 90s, the PC internet boom in the 2000s, the mobile internet explosion a decade ago, and now the AI industry revolution. Why is it that every time opportunities present themselves, you can see the potential but struggle to catch the wave? In the end, you can only watch as the opportunities slip right past you, without even a goodbye.
We often say that opportunities favor the prepared, but that's not entirely true. It's like no matter how ready you are, you can't just become buddies with Jack Ma. Did you notice? Many people, even if they accidentally stumble upon an opportunity, even if they're early to the party or have previously seized chances, ultimately end up with 'but it didn't mean anything' (然并卵).
