Most people's so-called "hard work" is actually using physical diligence to cover up lazy thinking. Every day, they exhaust themselves, looking at a packed schedule, and feel self-pity: "Look how hard I work, even God has to make way for me." Stop being naive. If you are on the Titanic, polishing the deck until it shines or arranging the chairs neatly is meaningless unless it helps you survive. If the direction is wrong, speed becomes a death sentence. Why do most people prefer to stay busy in poverty rather than pause for even five minutes to think? Because "blindly busy" provides a cheap sense of fulfillment and allows you to comfortably escape the pain of making decisions. True top players are not those donkeys who only grind away with their heads down, but those who stand at a high vantage point, holding a map, and even if they stay still all day, they are like wolves that strike directly at the core when they move. Remember: do not try to compensate for strategic incompetence with tactical busyness. That is not called striving; it is called "accelerated self-destruction."
