in the nude
“only after the tide has faded, know who is in the nude”, the wise said.
distributable resources(social relationship, capital, core tech, market vision) define the success of a man in the world.
in normal days, people feel good about themselves, like they can take things in control and looks well, these factors are ignored, and crisis is under the hood; when situation changes, the crisis appears, then people feel unexpected surprise.
how crisis is so close along with us for a long time, and get igored for a long time ? another word, “standing in the wind, elephant can fly to the sky”, when market is good, normal people make money from stock.
it is not him become smart, worse he is not prepared for the coming bad times.
with no money, no social relations, and no core tech standing in the world, I should be humble to dirt, rather talking like everything is in control. for many young immigrants, the breakthrough is through education and learn core skill, and earn money and gradually being successful.
this evening, watched Jack Ma speech, some ideas: in age 20 - 30, the best thing is to find a good boss and learn from him or the team; from age 30 - 40, try something for yourself, either to start a business or go for a art design degree; from 40 - 50, make sure to do things yourself most good at.
life is previous and short, no waste. find out my contribute to the world, and do it.
the right thing
I shared my thoughts with a friend, that I thought AV was the future in vehicle industry, so even though I had no experience in control algorithms, computer vision, sensor hardware, I will find a way in; on the other side, I am pretty familiar with CAE software products development and applications, how I choose ?
my friend said, neither. job is to make money.
Have to say, I am still focusing too much on the strong or the weak, the right or wrong. spent too much energy to find the line to divide future into simple right choic and wrong choice.
I remembered another good friend, said I am used to pre-define or label people, but forget every similar story could have many different reasons and results.
if there is a unique right thing in the world, then everyone must follow it, but since the right thing/decision for each person is different, even though the world drive people to be similar, I should realize in every situation, every step, it is ok to have a different right thing, rather than holding on the unique rightness
