Investing in yourself yields the most stable returns. Reading, learning, and enhancing skills—these "invisible assets" will help you go further.

Those who hurt you are essentially coming after you; there is no need to please everyone. Focus on self-improvement and make yourself impeccable.

In the adult world, every conversation is filled with subtext. Starting with empty promises, it ends with betrayal. Suddenly emphasizing rules is preparing for punishment. When they tell you to think long-term, and you are left to handle it, it means you will take the blame. When they ask you to consider the bigger picture, it means you are not part of it. When they urge you to spare no effort, it means you will bear the cost.

In low-end families, everyone is stubborn, clinging to their own beliefs, and competing against each other.

They do not understand division of labor, cooperation, or collaboration; no one reflects on themselves, only focusing on finding faults in others. When they give a little more, they feel wronged; when things do not go their way, they blame others. They cannot tolerate minor issues, struggle with medium matters, and cannot grasp major ones, only recognizing their own reasoning. In reality, the weak show off their strength, and the strong show weakness. A good family never engages in internal strife; they do more, speak softly, are strict with themselves, and lenient with family members.
