"You're just lucky, that's all"

—— I've heard this phrase for several years now.

Even though I've experienced significant ups and downs five times,

whenever I achieve small successes in life,

I often hear people evaluate me this way, especially those close to me.

Learning from zero in different fields,

even when performing well, such voices still emerge.

When I was younger, I always wanted to work harder,

hoping to gain fundamental recognition from those who said I was just lucky.

But after deeply understanding that human nature and genes will inevitably have "jealousy,"

I realized it was a matter of echo chambers.

"The weak love to envy, the strong love to learn"

has also become the standard I often use to gauge a person's level.

Currently, I have already metabolized away the remaining "relatives" tier.

During important holidays when I have to meet them,

I start to show weakness and act silly, appearing harmless and foolish.

I try not to touch the switch of the weak's jealousy.

Even though I am already very conservative and low-key,

and I don't show off at all, avoiding sensitive topics,

I still inevitably hear someone say,

"You're just lucky, that's all."

Yes, that's right.

I'm just lucky, that's all.

I can't remember when it started,

but I changed from wanting to prove myself to others to this way of thinking.

Reflecting deeply at night, I think of my lost youth. $BTC $ETH $BNB
