One of the sources of people's difficulty in maintaining silence is their instinctive aversion to uncertainty, attempting to construct a subjective sense of certainty through incessant talking. However, this often prematurely exposes one's own cards, handing certainty over to others, thereby placing oneself in a more vulnerable position.
This is akin to the game in capital markets; people are born with a dislike for inaction and always yearn to demonstrate value through action, even motivating themselves with childish slogans like 'Do not be afraid, only advance' and 'Take bold risks'. However, when resources are nearly exhausted and real opportunities arise, there is no ammunition left to use, and no courage to fight again, making the situation increasingly perilous.
In many matters of the world, few can achieve absolute certainty. Only by learning to embrace uncertainty and getting accustomed to coexisting with ambiguity can one avoid paying a high premium for the illusory human 'certainty'. At the same time, one must deeply understand: the 'certainty' you release to the outside world is a scarce resource; before handing it over, be sure to obtain adequate returns and never extend credit to others.
