The truly advanced level is slow and less

The higher the level, the more you know the power of simplicity.

In this impetuous society, we often think that "fast" and "more" is the hard truth.

But in fact, people who live to the extreme are often simple and introverted, because the real high level is just a little slower, less.

01 opportunity trap: anyone who wants to try, lacks wisdom.

Now, this era is friendly to anyone because this era is littered with opportunities. But you do not need to seize all the opportunities, you just need to find your opportunities and develop your strengths. Constantly iterating, it's enough to maintain that edge.

In this process: you have to restrain the countless temptations, redundancy, irritation, and restlessness, to develop an iron mouth and steel teeth.

Do not focus on those short-term price fluctuations, unexpected events, windows of opportunity, and the success of others; you just need to "wide vision, narrow cut, deep research" to maintain your advantage in the long term, and you can win.

Some people believe that, as Lei Jun said: there must be an opportunity to try. The cost of trial and error is not high, but the cost of missing out is very high. Many people think that the core of this sentence is "the cost of trial and error is not high", but the core of this sentence is "an opportunity".

A person has a great talent, but he is not in a hurry but is waiting for the right time to show it. The most reasonable attitude towards opportunities is: don't be light, don't retreat. When faced with an opportunity, you must study and think deeply, and you will decisively grasp the opportunity that you think is appropriate; since you have recognized it, you should not give up lightly even if you encounter setbacks. In this way, you will be able to seize the opportunity and fly to the sky.

02 Energy trap: 99% of the world has nothing to do with you.

One of the signs of a person's maturity is to see 99% of the things in the world, otherwise, it is irrelevant to you.

But in reality, many people are in the opposite state: the

Every day they send Facebook to pay attention to celebrity gossip, but they don't take a little time to study and work properly; every day they see how much money others make on the internet and evaluate others, but they don't have time to plan their life and career properly; every day they pay attention to food and cosmetics in TikTok, but they don't have time to exercise and manage their body; every day they fantasize and lose themselves in online novels, but they don't have time to read the real classics; every day is thinking about which takeaway store discount, but no time to think about how to make money. Many things in life that are not important and not urgent are consuming your precious energy.

The so-called self-lost is that you are choosing, obsessing, anxious, and distracted although you have nothing to do. With every bit of mental energy you expend, your ability to perform and your willpower decrease. This is why, the simpler the more efficient, the more introverted people go farther.

No blind movement, no artifice, when you start saying you are not important, you are truly efficient and your mind can enjoy true peace.

03 Materialistic trap: You are more inclined toward material affluence, or spiritual affluence.

The higher the level, the simpler the power, the great the material abundance of society, and more and more people pursue a refined life.

There is nothing wrong with exquisite, but exquisite is not equal to the indulgence of desire and material extravagance. The real exquisite is not to indulge their desire to consume but to taste the elegance and joy in life.

The "poor" can not restrain the desire to "show"; the real "rich" never deliberately show off, but pursue simple and low-key.

Simple is a quality, is a good state of life. A person who is no longer wrapped in desire and always sticks to simplicity and heart can live a truly rich life. For the rest of your life, I hope you are simple and introverted and become a spiritually rich person.

When people live to the extreme, it's not the gorgeous and reckless "more" and "faster", but "slower" and "less".
