The upward trend in an industry is like an elevator going up. Some people do push-ups inside the elevator, others flip around, and some stand on their heads. They all think they climbed the stairs by doing what they were doing, but in fact, the elevator is taking them up.

Looking at technological change through historical analogies: the steam engine replaced the coachman, but it also created railway workers and machinists; the internet disrupted brick-and-mortar stores, but it gave rise to e-commerce operators, programmers, and delivery drivers. Each technological revolution destroys old jobs while simultaneously creating new opportunities at an even larger scale. From what I observe on the front line, ordinary people have opportunities in two dimensions—employment and investing:

1) Employment side: AI doesn’t replace humans overnight; instead, it slowly reshapes the division of labor—what people do versus what AI does. It is giving rise to AI product managers and AI business analysts who understand both AI and the business, as well as roles like AI trainers and AI technical writers. As AI models are trained and developed, they also require data accumulation and supporting talent—such as AI data labelers and AI test engineers. These positions generally have relatively low entry barriers and are good starting points for entering the AI field.

2) Investing side: it’s too risky for ordinary investors to directly bet everything on a single stock. A more reliable approach is to participate through ETFs. In the AI hardware direction, AI glasses and humanoid robots are moving from the “early-adopter niche” toward the critical point of mainstream adoption. In the AI application direction, the A-share AI application sector has shown strong momentum at the start of 2026, covering areas such as software, content, and marketing. On the Hong Kong stock exchange, “globally applicable foundational model firsts” like Zhipu and MiniMax have listed, with extremely high market enthusiasm. In 2026, the market will begin focusing on who can truly create value with AI.

Baidu founder Robin Li said: “AI is no longer just a ‘looks-great’ demo, but a ‘works-and-really-worth-it’ solution. Today, for any company, only by using AI well can it stay invincible; for any individual, only by using AI well can it take control of the future.”

From each wave of the era, the clearest and most advantageous approach for ordinary people is: Don’t fight the times—move along with the trend, learn quickly, actively pivot, and firmly catch every new opportunity as it arrives.

Don’t try to empathize with anyone who isn’t in your class. When you take a person to a height that doesn’t belong to them, their foolishness and ignorance will ultimately harm them—and also drag you down, ruining many people. If you observe carefully, you’ll find that in this world, everyone deserves the life they have right now. This may sound a bit cold, but it is reality.
Everything you see in people’s current situations is often a direct result of their behavioral patterns and level of cognition. When you try to use your compassion and empathy to change this situation, you’re actually going against the laws of nature. Ignorance and lack of understanding are often barriers that are difficult to break through. People in every stratum have their own way of thinking and behaving. They operate according to that pattern. If you forcibly push someone into a position they don’t belong in, their thoughts and actions often can’t keep up with that level.
Even if you give them more resources and opportunities, what decisions they eventually make will often leave those opportunities wasted.

True success isn’t making a lot of money in one lucky moment—it’s still being at the table ten years later, with more and more chips in your hand.

A steady stream doesn’t race to be first; it’s about flowing endlessly!

If ordinary people don’t act as market makers, buying stocks won’t even let them hold on for three years—so they basically can’t make big money. Even if you manage to profit right now, later you’ll likely lose it due to FOMO or an inflated sense of confidence. Trading short-term makes it easy to get trapped; being trapped is just a matter of probability—either it happens this time or next time.

I don’t feel much about volatility. First, I was already planning to hold long-term. Second, my entry price is truly low. Third, I have absolute confidence in this company. Investing in a company I like and trust, I’m not the least bit shaken.

For investors entering at different stages, you also need to understand that your entry price directly determines your return rate—that’s a given.

Most people can’t (or even look down on) value investing because it goes against human nature. The human brain is wired for linear thinking: instinctively, it focuses on whether tomorrow will earn more than today. Short-term trading is addictive because it stimulates dopamine. In essence, it’s no different from gambling or doomscrolling short videos. $

Xiaoxuan’s Philosophy:
If you like something, be willing to use it.
Use all your strength.
Let them take part in the flow of your life.

When you have enough value, you don’t need to manage any emotions or maintain any relationships at all. When you’re valuable enough, people will naturally care about you and love you. All wealth is the monetization of mental ability. This is an equivalent match.

A true master puts inner peace and happiness first. In every situation, they prioritize cultivating the mind and nurturing character. Even if they’re in hardship, it doesn’t affect their practice. Because they know that everything in life is about balance and matching—every form of wealth is attracted by the energy within your heart!

When you can effortlessly earn someone else’s monthly salary through a day of trading, the excitement is impossible to hide. You may start imagining how to reward yourself—an extravagant meal, a small get-together, and even the urge to post your highlight moment on Moments/朋友圈. You feel as if you’re getting closer and closer to that dream version of yourself: a state of freedom, abundance, and no restraints. At first, picturing financial freedom seems like it’s just around the corner—you can almost smell the sea breeze from the images of globe-trotting travel.
But one day, when what you earn from trading is an entire year’s income for others, everything changes. You no longer feel excited or stirred. There isn’t even a hint of extra emotional fluctuation. You simply quietly shut down your computer, go home, cook a simple bowl of noodles, and eat slowly. Then you sit by the window, watching the night quietly fall—yet in your heart there’s a peace you’ve never felt before.
You suddenly realize that true strength is silent. This world is loud, like waves crashing in. And you choose to walk calmly outside the tide. You no longer fuss, no longer explain, and no longer compete for rank or superiority. You begin to be more tolerant, and even gently look at the choices you once considered foolish and the ridiculous voices you used to hear. Because you’ve finally seen through the masses of humanity: they’re nothing more than a speck of dust in the great flood of fate.
You start to understand that freedom isn’t something you get by striving desperately. It’s hidden within the boundaries of your understanding, and most people spend their entire lives trapped in an invisible cage. Trained by predetermined rules, bound by textbook logic, they rush around in repetitive lives, chasing “success” that never belonged to them. True freedom isn’t built by stacking up how much money you have. It’s loving life even after you’ve seen the world clearly. And what it means to see clearly isn’t about how much you earned—it’s that you finally know the truth of this world forever belongs only to the very few who are willing to think independently and dare to take risks.

Intraday Trading
First: Only trade fixed patterns—focus on 1–2 patterns you’re familiar with. The more familiar you are, the more stable it will be. Trading isn’t figure skating; it’s repetitive marksmanship.
Second: Do not allow deep-loss trades. One losing trade a day is wasted work. It’s easy to trigger human nature, so in intraday trading there’s no option of “holding a losing position.”
Third: Don’t get greedy with profits. Take what you can when it’s good, don’t get emotionally attached to winning trades. Intraday trading isn’t dating—set clear targets and exit immediately once you reach them.
Fourth: Intraday trading requires extreme focus. Make sure you get good rest. Choose two sessions—Asia, Europe, or US—and go all-in during those times. Force yourself to rest at all other times. Fatigue trading is basically handing out money.

Mild crisis: cash is king; moderate crisis: gold is king; deep crisis: guns and cannons are king; extreme crisis: food is king. In a crisis, a woman without one is worthless; in front of the rich, a woman is worth nothing; in front of power, the rich are worth nothing; in the face of guns and cannons, power is worth nothing; before the poor, guns and cannons are worth nothing; before women, the poor are worth nothing.

This is the way of Heaven—unchanged since ancient times.

I used to think that whether it was traditional media or new media, everything should be about “content is king.” Now I think it should be “trust is king.” 😕

In fact, the wealth of most people comes from the dividend of the times plus personal luck.
Once you admit this, you will develop a reverence for money, and reverence for the era and for fate.
If you know that you obtained these funds by sheer luck, you won’t take yourself too seriously.
You won’t, just because you happened to catch a wave of industry boom, start thinking of yourself as Kazuo Inamori. You won’t, just because you rode a stock market windfall, think you’re Warren Buffett.
Maybe you really are capable, and your understanding is really high—but you can still keep an attitude of reverent humility like this: your success is due to luck.
In this way, you will honestly put most of your money into low-risk places. That way, when the wind stops, you won’t fall from the sky like a pig that people can see only flew upward because it was on the wind at the right moment.

The film produced by Kodak right up until the day it left the market has always been of excellent quality—it's just that the world no longer needs it. The world is cruel; when you’re not needed, you’ll inevitably become insignificant…

Recently, in the crypto world, it's popular to show off photos of your parents and say they're cool, and it feels like they're so trendy………!
What will our children say when they look back on us in the future?

Whether it’s the stock market or the foreign exchange market
Waiting in itself is a kind of action—also a kind of practice
Big gains come from riding the trend; half is internal skill, half is timing
Think independently—wait with a purpose
When your trading model matches, be decisive and merciless
Whatever your trading system tells you to do, then do it
Can you accept losses the same way you accept profits?
Wishing everyone a good harvest this round.
