One lick a day. I have persisted. Over three months. Every day I have to do something, at least once a day, several times a day. I keep at it every day. It’s impossible to have the opportunity to lick someone at a high level every day. If there’s no chance that day, then I’ll settle for someone at a lower or middle level to lick. During the 8 hours of work, if I haven’t succeeded in licking higher, then within the 24 hours of that day, before midnight, I must get a lick in. Otherwise, my nutritional goal for the day won’t be met.

At this stage, my licking is unconditional. I don’t seek results. I only seek that I did it, that I achieved it. I am stronger than before. Yesterday I couldn’t open my mouth, but today I can. Yesterday I missed the chance, but I decisively took action and licked. Today my ability is better than yesterday, I seized a similar opportunity. Using today’s practice, I will seize more opportunities tomorrow. Only then can I create even more opportunities. Starting with people from lower circles. Practice on people from the existing lower circles. I can make mistakes, I can push boundaries. If my control isn’t ideal, the more mistakes I make, the better I can avoid mistakes in the future.
In the past, I admired the wealthy in my eyes. I longed to become rich. To chase after the wealthy. Now in my eyes, I admire those with power. I long to become powerful, to chase after the powerful.
Gaining wealth is like losing weight. If you work hard to lose weight, truly exercising and starving yourself, then you will definitely lose weight 100%. That’s the only certainty. Earning money is the same as losing weight. If you work hard at it, try to earn, you also have certainty—you will definitely get the money. It’s just a matter of efficiency and quantity.
However, gaining power and winning people’s hearts is something without certainty. You put in effort, but it’s not guaranteed. Most likely, it’s not guaranteed, and very likely, it’s not guaranteed. But the inertia of this thing is very strong. It has a snowball effect. The compound interest effect is terrifying.
Treat dealing with people as training, just like solving problems or doing work to earn money. Keep practicing repeatedly. Find and fix gaps. Continuously cultivate the ability to make others feel comfortable and satisfied. No upper limit. I am a beginner lick dog. Practicing for three months. Ready to step into the ring at any time.
