    "Everyone says that if hard work is effective, then Fuji should be the most diligent worker." That shows they don't know what hard work truly is. Only through hard work can you distinguish between a pitfall and a reward. "That shows they don't know what hard work is." This single sentence lifts the lid: the "hard work" people talk about is often just a synonym for "repetitive toil." True hard work requires first distinguishing between pitfalls and rewards before deciding where to step and where to reach. Otherwise, the more diligent you are, the more you're like a self-fueled spinning top, spinning rapidly but emitting smoke in place. Therefore, the second half of the sentence should be added: If hard work is effective, it must first be spent on "identification": identifying which is a pitfall and which is a reward, identifying which path turns hard work into compound interest and which path turns hard work into a medical record. After identification, then grit your teeth and sweat; then stepping into pitfalls is called trial and error, and stepping into rewards is called cashing in. —The "laziness" of not being willing to spend this time on identification is the biggest false effort. The good thing about these two books is that they tell you where the pitfalls are.

    This is a non-fiction novel that can be read directly as a trading journal! It rejects hindsight bias, empty platitudes, and any supernatural abilities or high-tech trading techniques. It's all practical trading advice from the A-share, futures, and forex markets. The protagonist, starting as a novice retail investor who couldn't even understand moving averages, lost all his savings, then learned from his mistakes, thoroughly studied hundreds of classic trading books, reviewed tens of thousands of historical market data points, figured out the logic behind major players' operations, and mastered position management, stop-loss discipline, and emotional control. From intraday short-term trading to swing trading, from one-sided A-share market trends to two-way forex trading, every trade in the book has a complete explanation of the opening and closing logic, technical analysis, and emotional review. Even the technical pitfalls and cognitive errors he encountered are revealed without reservation. If you're looking for a book that doesn't rely on empty rhetoric and truly teaches you trading techniques, this book, *The Self-Cultivation of a Retail Investor*, is written for you.

In the roughly 3-meter-wide wooden hut, the walls were made of a few broken planks, the roof had several large holes, a dying fire was burning, and a creaking door groaned in the cold wind… Hiss, he'd only stayed up all night, where had he ended up? Completely bewildered. Suddenly, a grand voice rang in his ears, and an interface appeared out of thin air before his eyes. [Ding!

    Giving away shares isn't about being a saint; it's about the protagonist not being able to handle all the business and technology himself. The group's businesses are expanding rapidly: mobile phones, new energy vehicles, real estate, internet, artificial intelligence, games… This is the essence of effortless success. It's not about killing each other, but about mutual benefit.
