    In the turbulent waters of the capital market, countless people harbor dreams of wealth, only to be battered and bruised by harsh reality, burdened with debt, or even driven to despair. The author personally witnessed a once-renowned investment tycoon, who, after years of skillfully maneuvering in the stock and futures markets, repeatedly avoided risks and amassed enormous fortunes. However, a single short-term speculative operation led to his downfall, his capital shrinking dramatically in an instant. This painful experience served as a wake-up call. Without hesitation, he decisively abandoned the risky and exciting battlefield of short-term speculation, turning instead to long-term investment, seeking stable and sustainable growth. He sighed deeply, saying: "In this unpredictable capital market, until you've completely withdrawn, no one can definitively say whether they will ultimately profit or lose!" [Many once revered "stock market gurus" have faded like shooting stars, their brilliance quickly followed by obscurity. Some have not only lost everything, but also accumulated massive debts; some have even suffered broken families and taken their own lives.] [Warren Buffett, this legendary figure in the investment world, had an average annual return of only 20% before reaching the top of the richest list. He didn't pursue overnight riches, but relied on the powerful force of compound interest (interest on interest), hailed by Einstein as the eighth wonder of the world. Adhering to a steady and pragmatic investment philosophy, he navigated the volatile market, step by step, accumulating wealth day by day, ultimately standing at the pinnacle of wealth.] He paused briefly, then said earnestly: [Exiting now is still profitable. I plan to embark on a long-term investment path, accumulating returns over time, and once again creating my own investment legend.] This book uses a series of real stories from the stock and futures capital markets as its entry point, meticulously dissecting and analyzing them layer by layer to delve into the underlying logic and patterns of the capital markets. Through countless analyses and judgments, it aims to find the key to consistently making profits in the capital markets, hoping to provide readers with a fresh perspective and help them navigate the market steadily. Starting with ordinary people, they strive in the risky and opportunity-filled stock market. They may not have a strong background or extraordinary talent, but through their passion for stock trading and relentless effort, they gradually discover investment strategies that suit them. In this process, they experience countless ups and downs, sometimes suffering huge losses due to a single wrong decision; but they never give up, always believing that through their wisdom and perseverance, they can succeed in the stock market. Finally, after a long period of accumulation and refinement, they master stock trading skills, begin to profit steadily, and gradually achieve the goal of supporting their families through stock trading. Moreover, they cleverly use their wisdom to gradually break free from economic constraints and achieve financial freedom. When they achieve financial freedom through stocks, they can enjoy a comfortable and happy life with their families, indulging in delicious food, travel, art, and other hobbies. This kind of life transformation is undoubtedly what many people dream of. However, achieving this goal is not easy; it requires a significant investment of time, energy, and patience. Dreams are the compass of life, guiding us forward. Striving is the ladder to achieving dreams; every step we take brings us closer to our goal. By closely combining dreams with hard work and seizing opportunities, we can create our own brilliant future.

    Reader note

    From the "imperfections" of a piece of jade, one can see the truth of changing oneself. At the Weiwei Cultural and Creative Products booth, people often linger over the piece of pomegranate wood wrapped in a silver bracelet—the hammer marks on the silver bracelet are crooked, but the knots in the wood have been carved into delicate pomegranates. Bai Wei often points to the knots and says, "The carpenter wanted to smooth it out, but I remembered Master Duan from Ruili saying that the patterns on stone and the knots in wood are imprints of the earth's veins; they can't be changed, you have to go with the flow." Hidden in these words is a truth that adults should understand most: trying to forcefully change "imperfect" people and things mostly leads to self-inflicted trouble; learning to adjust one's perspective and mindset, turning "imperfections" into "uniqueness," is true wisdom. When Bai Wei first arrived in Ruili, she didn't understand this principle. At 20 years old, with two thousand yuan in her pocket, she squatted in front of Master Duan's jade stall, wanting to learn how to "make ugly jade beautiful." The first time she polished jade, she became fixated on the water lines on the material—those translucent lines were "flaws" in her eyes, and she wouldn't be satisfied until she polished them away. As a result, she lost control of her strength, and the material chipped off a corner. She squatted at the shop entrance and cried, feeling she had ruined a perfectly good piece of jade. Master Duan didn't scold her. He picked up the chipped piece and used a carving knife to make a few lines along the water lines: "Look, how much these water lines resemble tributaries of the Ruili River? The chipped corner is perfect for carving a Dai girl washing clothes; isn't that more telling than a smooth stone?" That evening, the master and apprentice sat by the river watching the sunset, and Master Duan said again: "Which piece of jade from Ruili doesn't have flaws? The water from the Nu River, the minerals from Hpakant, have seeped into the stone. If you insist on polishing them away, the stone becomes lifeless; people are the same, what person doesn't have 'water lines'? If you want to change it, you should change your perspective on it." These words were like a stone settling in Bai Wei's heart. In the following five years, she stopped obsessing over the "flaws" of the jade: She carved cracked pieces into mountain streams along the cracks; she transformed cotton-like inclusions in scraps into clouds; even the brown-veined jade passed down to her by her master before his death—the veins resembled the bends of the Lancang River—she carved a "Returning Boats on the River" plaque based on the veins, which later became a coveted item among old jade dealers. Her calluses thickened, and she accumulated a box full of "problematic jade." These stones, considered "waste stones" by others, came alive in her hands. It wasn't that the jade became perfect; it was that she finally learned to "not contend with the jade, but with herself"—no longer fixated on "changing the jade's flaws," but instead figuring out "how to use her skills to make the flaws special." Later, she went to Pengcheng to learn celadon firing, and once again stumbled because of her desire to "change." Pengcheng porcelain is famous for its "crackle glaze," where fine cracks appear on the glaze after cooling. Bai Wei, however, was always worried about uneven cracking and secretly adjusted the temperature in the kiln. The result was a kiln full of cracked porcelain, some reduced to fragments, others with tangled, crooked cracks. Master Wang didn't blame her; instead, he took her to see the piles of old porcelain shards beside the kiln: "Look at these decades-old porcelains. The cracks vary in thickness; some resemble the ripples of Yunlong Lake, others the texture of old tree branches. No two are exactly alike. Firing porcelain requires understanding the 'temperament of the fire.' Let the fire crack however it wants; if you force the fire to crack according to your own ideas, how can the porcelain not break?" Bai Wei spent half a month with Master Wang along the shores of Yunlong Lake, watching the water lapping against the pebbles, and suddenly understood: whether it's the jade of Ruili or the porcelain of Pengcheng, "imperfection" is never the enemy. The real problem was that she always tried to "make things perfect according to her own standards," instead of "adjusting her methods to adapt to the true nature of things." Just like in life, some people always complain that their partners "don't make the bed when they get home" or "smack their lips while eating," insisting on forcing them to change, which ends up causing a huge argument. But if you change your perspective, and you just do the bed yourself, and take the smacking sound as a signal that you're enjoying your food, life actually goes more smoothly. Later, when she returned to Zaozhuang to work in the cultural and creative industry, Bai Wei thoroughly applied this principle. When the company was making canal-themed ship models, the designers all pursued "symmetry and smoothness," but she insisted on finding local old pomegranate wood—she didn't sand down any of the knots or wormholes on the wood, and even used silver thread to inlay the canal's route along the wood grain. At first, the client didn't understand, thinking it was "too rough." She explained, "These knots are like shallows on the canal, and the wormholes are like the lights of passing boats. The true memory of the canal isn't a perfectly drawn route, but the reality bearing the marks of wind and waves." Those boat models later became exhibits in the Grand Canal Museum. A tourist touched the knots on the wood and said, "This is what the canal boats I saw when I was a child look like. Where is there wood without a single knot?" Bai Wei said that at that moment, she was particularly clear: it wasn't that her craftsmanship was so great, but that she had finally completely let go of the obsession with "changing imperfection" and learned to "change her attitude towards imperfection." Later, she founded Weiwei Cultural and Creative, bringing jade from Ruili, porcelain shards from Pengcheng, and pomegranate wood from Zaozhuang into her studio. She ground the broken pieces of celadon from the Pengcheng kiln into small pendants, strung them on silver chains, and captioned them "Even broken porcelain has light." When schools asked her to make graduation gifts, she used pomegranate wood to make bookmarks, each piece retaining its natural wood grain, and engraved with "The 'patterns' on your body are all the marks of growth." Someone asked her what the most important thing is in cultural and creative work. She smiled and said, "It's not about always trying to make things 'perfect,' and not always focusing on other people's 'flaws.' Foolish people see the water lines on jade and think it's ugly, see the cracks in porcelain and call it ruined, and see people's faults and want to change them; but wise people think, can the water lines become scenery? Can the cracks become a unique feature? Can we be more understanding of other people's habits?" Just like the piece of wood with wormholes that Bai Wei picked up in the pomegranate garden last time, the sunlight falling on the wormholes, shimmering with tiny light. She remembered what Master Duan said, "Stone has a soul, wood has a heart, both are hidden in imperfections," and suddenly felt that life is actually no different from carving jade, firing porcelain, and doing woodwork—we always think about changing other people's "flaws," changing the "imperfections" of things, but in the end we find that what we should change most is ourselves: change our obsessions, change our perspective, change our view of "imperfections." Those who try to change others are often battered and bruised by reality; while those who are willing to change themselves can find their unique light in imperfections. After all, the patterns on jade cannot be changed, and a person's nature is hard to alter, but we can always determine our own perspective on the world and our attitude towards others. Just like the jade in Bai Wei's hand, the original water lines have become scenery, and the original cotton-like inclusions have become clouds and mist—it's not that the jade has changed, it's that she has changed; it's not that the world has become perfect, it's that she has learned to live with her own warmth even in imperfection.

I recommend starting at Chapter 69. So far, it has covered several major themes: the truth about time, attitudes toward money, procrastination and dissection, and defining the boundaries of life. The second volume is a record of practical experience, the third combines thought and practice, and the fourth recounts what happened after I was utterly crushed.

    I recommend "The Bank Manager's Dead End," a workplace novel with sophisticated political intrigue. It depicts how Ma Yuquan, a bank manager, transforms from a visionary, ambitious, and patriotic woman with a strong sense of purpose in finance, into someone who is gradually swayed and loses her way in the face of power and unscrupulous capital, ultimately leading to her downfall. The novel is fast-paced, well-written, and richly plotted, featuring elements such as best friends stealing boyfriends, the protagonist secretly giving birth at an advanced age while single, and scheming a legal adoption.
