It is said that many pro investors enjoy playing tennis because many of the truths of investing, the principles, and the aha moments are realized through the sport of tennis.

This kind of "cross-border enlightenment" is indeed quite useful.

Recently, I've stayed up several nights binge-watching "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality" on Bilibili. It's truly a mix of enjoying the excitement of the story while contemplating the relationship with investment.

You think I'm reading web novels and binge-watching online dramas, but in fact, I'm contemplating the philosophy of investment.

1) In the world of Yuan Ying, cultivators in the Qi Refining stage are truly like ants. In the eyes of a9 and a10, the difference between people is as huge as a mountain.

2) Different levels, the world you see is completely different. If you are at the Foundation Establishment Stage or the Core Formation Stage, your world, the five black chimpanzees around you, are basically people at the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Core Formation Stage. In the book, the male protagonist Han Li, after successfully forming his Nascent Soul, can come into contact with a large number of Nascent Soul old monsters and discuss the Dao with them. The levels of this world are actually everywhere; the distinction in wealth is a level, and the distinction in status is a level.

3) One person's great success = 1000 people's great failure. Han Li steps up from a mortal, and every pill, talisman, and spiritual treasure on him, every opportunity, is a plunder and annihilation of others. This is very cruel, but this is reality.

4) The refined egoist is actually the baseline for the vast majority of people. From an evolutionary perspective, this is almost inevitable. The philosophy of survival: if you can't win, run; if you can win, you must strike when your opponent is weak. There is no saintly kindness or purity, nor is there any so-called heroism. They don't harm others proactively, but when an opportunity arises, they seize it without hesitation. This neutral and realistic character portrayal presents a moral gray area that is much more captivating than the typical black-and-white character images.

5) The term "a solitary cultivator" mentioned in the book metaphorically refers to the grassroots of today. The path of cultivation for a solitary cultivator is exactly like that of the grassroots starting from scratch, and compared to disciples from prestigious families or major sects, it is much more difficult. It's simply too real.

6) The superpower of currency capacity is equally important in any era and any world. In the novel, as long as you have enough spirit stones, you can completely crush your peers on the path of cultivation or in competitions.
