There is an unwritten survival rule circulating among investors and entrepreneurs that is worth paying close attention to.

First is the wisdom of resource allocation. Smart people never share resources lightly; instead, those who try to please others often end up being seen as just lucky. Connections are never built through flattery but by attracting others with genuine strength. This is especially critical in investment decisions— the higher your value, the more opportunities will come to you.

Failed entrepreneurs often share a common trait: 90% are too kind. In the face of利益, emotions tend to be fragile, and truly smart people know how to weigh gains and losses. They understand that those who try to solve problems without spending money are doomed to stay at the bottom.

The core of wealth accumulation lies in risk control ability. Blindly taking risks is the play of gamblers; precise risk management is the method of the wealthy. This requires learning ability— a person’s wealth growth ceiling is often limited by their capacity to learn.

Truly wealthy people are good at observing silently; maintaining a certain level of mystery can create more opportunities. They focus on intrinsic value rather than superficial appearances because face is worthless; only strength is competitive. Opportunities never come knocking on their door; they must be created and seized by oneself. Know when to compromise, act decisively when it’s time to break through, and unhesitatingly abandon useless socializing. The last golden rule: if a problem can be solved with money, don’t waste time entangling over it.
