Absolutely, the calmness of the older generation comes from those spaces that aren’t filled up—like watching clouds, taking walks, or waiting for a kettle to boil. These "useless" moments build up life’s resilience. You should really try locking your phone in a drawer for a while, sitting by the window, and just watching the leaves sway for ten minutes. You'd be surprised by the unexpected benefits it brings.

Every now and then, the thought pops up: just being alive is enough, surviving is a great victory.

There’s a saying: 'A weak nation has no diplomacy.' If we look back in history, how many of the wealthy and powerful nations made their first fortune honestly? Take the United States, for example. During both World Wars, it hid behind the North American continent and acted as a 'war arms supermarket.' From 1914 to 1917, just by selling weapons, it quadrupled its gold reserves. While others were bleeding out, the U.S. raised its 'peacekeeper' flag and reaped the rewards. By the end of World War II, 75% of the world’s gold was in the U.S. Federal Reserve, and soon after, they established the Bretton Woods system, making the dollar the world’s currency.

What’s Happened to NASA and the U.S.? Such a Major Blunder is Truly speechless.

Even the wealthy can't escape their craving for attention, and charity is their most "cost-effective" tool. After all, a donation leads to endless media exposure, and their public image skyrockets. On the other hand, it is precisely because of these celebrity stunts that the public’s focus is drawn to distant social issues.

In the land where "any child can become President," a disturbing truth is emerging beneath the glossy surfaces of Ivy League campuses and Silicon Valley success stories. America's education system, once hailed as the great equalizer, is increasingly functioning as a social sorting machine - separating the privileged from the perpetually disadvantaged with algorithmic precision.

The numbers paint a stark picture: While 70% of students from families in the top income quartile complete bachelor's degrees, this plummets to just 14% for those from the bottom quartile according to National Center for Education Statistics. The average spending gap between the wealthiest and poorest school districts now exceeds $10,000 per student annually.

There is nothing more superficial than money, yet nothing more profound. It is all too common for us, pitiable humans, to be deceived; advice falls short, and true awakening can only come from within

Everyone's time is limited, and chasing external validation and recognition only takes us further away from our true selves.

Human memory is a strange thing. The things we wish it would remember, it merely feigns indifference, offering us nothing but fleeting moments. Yet, the things we wish it would forget, it clings to stubbornly, etching them deep into our hearts, never letting go.

Political and economic issues rarely have simple right or wrong answers, and the controversy surrounding Trump stems from his willingness to break traditional political rules. His unconventional and often unexpected approach has made him a focal point of attention. However, despite introducing a series of policies vastly different from those of his predecessors, these changes still cannot escape the constraints of the U.S. constitutional framework and public opinion pressures. While many of his actions have been surprising, most have turned out to be mere tweaks. Whether this "self-adjustment" can help revitalize the U.S. remains uncertain.

The thing is, making money from a hobby isn’t really about talent or passion; it’s more about timing, luck, and the ability to hustle. I’ve seen people with amazing skills struggle to turn their passion into profit, while others with less expertise somehow make it big. It’s like the universe picks its favorites, and it’s not always the most talented ones. At the end of the day, hobbies are meant to be enjoyed, not always monetized. So, while earning from them sounds tempting, the real reward is in the fun and satisfaction you get from doing them.

School life was pretty sweet for me, honestly. If I could, I’d stretch those campus days forever. But then again, that would just shift the burden onto my family. Work? Well, that's the responsibility of a 'grown-up,' but here I am, a failed adult. My job doesn’t contribute a thing to society. The most I can do is make sure I’m one less person claiming welfare.

Simply offering to share household chores isn’t enough; it’s not the quality that will free your partner from the burden of repetitive tasks, but real, consistent action.

I’ve already gotten used to outsourcing my work to AI.

The three countries you mentioned are indeed the golden triangle of automotive craftsmanship, but perhaps we should shift the lens to another historical perspective: the essence of the automotive industry has never been confined to geographic boundaries; it has been a century-long global experiment in progress.

When Rolls-Royce engines once powered American agricultural planes for reforestation, when the founder of Porsche designed Soviet tractors to reshape the Siberian farmland, and when Ferrari’s V12 engine technology was transformed into a new energy generator for the Modena region — the automotive industry had long become a dynamic vessel for human engineering wisdom. Today, the holding groups behind these brands (Volkswagen, Stellantis, BMW) are themselves multinational networks of capital and technology, much like how Lamborghini’s carbon fiber production line is woven by Japanese robots, or how Bentley’s wooden trim materials may come from sustainable forestry projects in the Amazon rainforest.

War may not specifically target assembly lines, but automotive factories have never truly been “neutral” in history: during World War II, the Wolfsburg factory produced ammunition for the German military, Fiat in Turin made tanks for Mussolini, and Coventry’s workshops worked around the clock to produce military engines. This history reminds us that idolizing any industrial myth as an untouchable temple is dangerous. What truly needs protection is the wisdom that transforms technology into the nurturing force of life — just like how the post-war Volkswagen Beetle resurrected from the wreckage of wartime armaments to become the people’s mobile home.

Even the most glamorous places often hide an unseen side. Behind the wealth-filled big cities, there is a group of low-income service workers who quietly support everything while struggling to make a living.

Looking back at the rise and crash of the internet bubble, we see a classic example of how technology can go through massive changes. Between 1995 and 2000, the internet industry exploded, with thousands of startups popping up and investors pouring in huge amounts of money. But by 2000, the bubble burst, and many companies went under, causing chaos in the market. So, does the current tech scene have a similar risk of a bubble? Technology, especially things like self-driving cars, medical advancements, and smart devices, seems super promising right now, attracting tons of investment and startups. But just like with the internet, rapid growth in tech often comes with unrealistic expectations and a lot of blind investment.

Marriage will never be perfect, no matter how much humans try to change it. It is a compromise that requires a great deal of tolerance, compassion, and mutual understanding.

97% of Buffett’s wealth was acquired after the age of 60, and 99% of it was earned after 50. We in our 30s are truly still so young. If we want to achieve true freedom one day, we must never stop learning and refining ourselves. It’s okay to go slow, but we can’t do nothing.  At the very least, we should have a strong and healthy body
