Recently, I came across two words that had a significant impact on me, which supplemented my logical chain.
Input-oriented hobbies and output-oriented hobbies perfectly explain the relationship between high cognition and making money; for the complete context, you can search for short videos.
For example, reading books is an internal enhancement that helps improve your cognition, but most people cannot make money through reading, so reading is an input-oriented hobby.
However, if you fall in love with writing through reading, or if you are guided by others into writing, then it becomes an output-oriented hobby.
Most people who make money inadvertently cultivate their output-oriented hobbies, gradually connecting knowledge outward, which leads to wealth.
