True strength does not come from guns and bullets, but from weaving a
colossal lie, dancing with the world, and yet being the only one who knows
the answer in the end.
What defines a strong individual? It is nothing more than doing what
ordinary people cannot do, saying what ordinary people cannot say, and being
endlessly deified and worshipped by the world. Ha-ha! Little do they know
that those on the pedestal are looking down upon the insignificant "people"
beneath them with the eyes of beasts.
In reality, both you and I have the chance to step onto the pedestal.
Factors such as talent, mindset, actions, and character contribute to this.
One of the most admirable scenes for me is when Chen Daozang, on his journey
to the pedestal, gazes at the pile of bones beneath his feet, towering like
mountains, and the rivers of crimson blood, murmuring to himself, "If it's
not enough, I'll kill again."
The path to the pedestal is extremely arduous and fraught with danger,
covered in thorns. It's like an exhilarating gamble. If you win, you can
ascend to the pedestal, looking down upon everything, where the lives,
dignity, laws, and social morals of others become pale and insignificant.
Laws and society only apply to ordinary people. If you lose, you lose
everything, including your life.
People often say, "Who doesn't experience failure in life? Making mistakes
and facing setbacks are inevitable. The question is how you face failure and
how you face setbacks."
To become a strong individual, you must possess an exceptional mindset. At
all times, you must maintain a clear and alert mind with a smile, even in
the most infuriating moments. Don't let emotions fluctuate, so as not to
expose any weaknesses to your opponents. Treat others' words as mere
nonsense. Isn't there a saying? "People laugh at my foolishness, I laugh at
their inability to see. Let's see how it goes in ten years."
As for actions, it's simple: ruthless, cruel, and heartless. Be ruthless and
cruel towards enemies, and even more so towards yourself. Everyone has
inertia; you must use it as a warning to keep yourself vigilant. And as for
being heartless, it means severing emotional ties. The word "emotion" is the
most damaging. Countless failures have been triggered by emotions. Emotions
can turn heroes of the ages into soft-hearted fools.
Character can be summed up in two words: firm and resilient. When someone
stomps on you, you should be able to grab onto their shoelaces and pull
yourself up. Shoelaces are not only for securing shoes but also an
opportunity for those who have been trampled upon. After rising, assess the
situation and avoid acting impulsively. The word "resilience" is difficult
to embody; it requires exceptional mental and psychological maturity. It is
usually possessed by seasoned veterans. If young people want to possess it,
they must put in ten times, a hundred times, or even more effort. Young
people must learn to conceal their sharpness. Those who jump the highest
often die the earliest. Revenge is still possible after ten years. Let's see
how it goes with a smile after ten years. |
