So-called confusion arises from your greedy desire to achieve everything in one leap and find the global optimal solution, while not wanting to first achieve local optimal solutions. Growth is the continuous process of achieving local optimal solutions and gaining some results and advantages at pivot points, while endlessly exploring the feeling of maximizing your core capabilities and commercial value.
In other words, if you do not obtain enough local optimal solutions or results and advantages at the pivot points, you cannot leverage higher-level information to help you understand what your true career goals are in life. Many times, you cannot find what you are good at or what you relatively want to do because you do not realize that information has a cost.
Information is a form of power. What does power mean? It means that when you have not yet reached this line, you do not deserve to know these scarce resources and their play methods. So sometimes you ask why take exams, or why strive for optimal performance? It is to obtain advantageous results at the pivot point, to have a kind of credit, which is a form of trust, to leverage higher-level people to see and recognize you, and then bring you up. Once you are elevated, your information will open up, and with more information, you will infinitely know what truly resonates with your DNA.
This feeling signifies that growth is essentially such a process. Therefore, if you are indeed very confused or feel that this is not what you truly want, and you do not know what you really want, you can only find something you can leverage from the information and people you currently see, and excel in it. At the moment you achieve your best, there will definitely be someone and an opportunity that helps you tap into the information of the circles you once did not understand.
However, if you do not put in the effort, you will be stuck in this process forever, feeling lost and in pain. This is a law, not metaphysics. For example, you may not really like this job, but you do not know where else to go. You can only do this job as best as you can, striving to become the top performer. Perhaps there will be a moment when your leader will say something different to you. But if you do not achieve results at this pivot point, you will keep spinning in place. By achieving the best results with the limited information and resources you have, there will be a regular opening that allows you to move up. The higher you go, the broader your information base becomes, and the more guidance you receive from experts. You will get closer and closer to your core advantage.
So all the effort is aimed at tapping into information at a greater level and gaining key insights from more capable people, helping you infinitely approach your lifelong core advantage that you can rely on, which is growth.
Everything you do in life is to exchange for credit. In fact, when you earn a certain amount of money, it is not consumption but a form of credit. You possess this level of earning ability and a track record of making money. Your credit levels vary across different tiers. When you have a higher credit level, you can leverage the trust of more critical individuals in you. Only then will they say more crucial things to you, allowing you to step up gradually. This is roughly the feeling.
