Whatever is forbidden, we often have to find ways to do it; Whatever is advocated, there is a high probability that there is a hole that you have to fill.

I remember one winter, the community launched a "Clean Winter Solstice" activity. The campaign requires each household to clean their yard and surrounding streets, aiming to rejuvenate the entire community on the day of the winter solstice. The community management office strongly promoted this activity, and even set up a reward system for this purpose: families who were rated as "cleanest courtyards" could receive small gifts.

We were all excited to see the news. Thinking about the day of the winter solstice, the whole community will be clean, and it makes people feel beautiful to think about it. However, just as we started cleaning in full swing, we found a big problem: many families in the community had fenced off their yards, making it impossible for us to reach the fenced area to clean it.

When this question was reported to the community management office, we were very disappointed with their answer: they had known that the problem existed, but in order to carry out the "Clean Winter Solstice" campaign, they had to advocate it vigorously, hoping to get everyone involved through a reward system. As for the "fence problem" we raised, they said that they would solve it after the event.

When we heard this answer, we were all outraged. I don't think this kind of "advocacy" is reasonable. It is obviously irresponsible to ask us to fill in the hole even though we know that there is an obstacle called a fence. After this incident, I said that "whatever is forbidden, we often have to find ways to do it; Whatever is advocated, there is a high probability that there is a hole that you have to fill. This sentence has a deeper understanding.

If you don't want to lose money, don't blindly follow the crowd, it's better to create an outlet than to chase the outlet.

In the field of investment, people often encounter such a situation: when an industry or company starts to become popular, everyone flocks to invest, as if they can make a lot of money just by taking this free ride. However, the truth is often that by the time an industry or company starts to be strongly promoted, it is already at a high level and it is already too late to invest in it.

I remember that last year, the sharing economy was hot, and many people saw the success of projects such as shared bicycles and shared charging treasures, so they followed the trend to invest. However, when everyone thought it was a surefire business, market saturation quickly increased, fierce competition led to a drop in profits, and eventually many investors lost money. The same happens in the stock market. When a stock is hyped and becomes the focus of the market, it has often reached a high level, and investing at this time is undoubtedly filling the hole. And those who really make money are often keenly aware of business opportunities and layout in advance before the market is hyped.

Therefore, it is better to chase the tuyere than to make the tuyere. Instead of blindly following the herd and following the trend of investing, it is better to improve your own insight, discover those industries or companies with potential, and become trendsetters. At the same time, we should also pay attention to risk control, and do not ignore the in-depth understanding of the market and risk assessment because of blindly following the trend. Only by rational investment can we truly achieve steady wealth growth.

People live for a lifetime, aren't they just a few highlight moments? No one can guarantee how long the funds will last, so this thinking goes deeper. The herd mentality has become the so-called outlet, if you don't want to lose money, don't blindly follow the crowd. So everything you can see in the world is likely to be unprofitable, or even a pit, you must be wary of many things for that kind of person, and the real way to make money is your own trip, and there is only one reason to join others, that is, to study, use your own tuition fees to save your own bureau.
