Having interacted with many wealthy people through my big brother, they taught me that the only way to solve troubles is to create a bigger trouble for the other party. When troubles counterbalance each other, the other party will be forced to reconcile with you, rather than relying on reasoning or compromising. Compromise does not guarantee anything; only strength can earn respect from others.
2. In matters related to interests, you must fight for what you deserve, even daring to confront others. Conversely, in matters unrelated to interests, you should restrain your competitive spirit and desire to rebut; do not easily offend people or engage in conflicts.
3. No one will treat you well because you are good to them; they will only treat you well because of your strength. Do not care about any human affairs; once you have money, enemies become good friends, and money is the best social tool.
4. Never fear others' misunderstandings or dissatisfaction with you; it is unnecessary to let everyone understand the real you, nor is it necessary to keep explaining yourself. Who you are will be understood by those who know you; those who do not understand you will not comprehend, no matter how much you say.
5. Forget about the term 'connections'; the essence of socializing is value exchange. If you lack the ability and resources to exchange with others, connections are just a joke. The true benefactor in life is always oneself. When your abilities, resources, and status do not match your social ambitions, everything you do is ineffective socializing. Plant the phoenix tree, and the phoenix will come; relying on others is less valuable than honing your own mind. Paying attention to others' expressions is less important than enhancing your own value.
6. Do not hurt others with harsh words; value others' feelings. A moment of rashness, speaking recklessly and aggressively, can hurt others and lay hidden dangers for yourself. Speak gently, know the limits, and communicate pleasantly; when others feel comfortable, you will feel comfortable too.
7. People can change. You may have a good relationship now, sharing everything and talking about anything. But can you really be sure it will always be this good? No one can withstand the test of interests; once faced with greater temptation, betraying others can happen in an instant. Don’t say you wouldn’t; it’s just that you don’t have enough leverage. In adult relationships, do not use good or bad as a measure; instead, interests should come first.
8. In this world, not everyone deserves your heartfelt contributions, nor does everyone deserve to be treated as a submissive follower. Approach people according to their character. As the popular saying goes, 'a thousand people, a thousand faces.' When interacting with others, fundamentally, it still relies on interest exchange. Since it is an exchange of interests, there will definitely be issues of more and less. This is when one’s ability to distribute interests is reflected.
9. All relationships are about using and being used; there is nothing else—it's just a matter of exchanging interests.
