The *Tao Te Ching* says: The sage knows without traveling, understands without seeing, and accomplishes without acting.

We must recognize that a person’s level of cognition determines the height of their thinking, which in turn shapes how they view the world and thus their ability to transform it. They transform the objective world while also transforming their own subjective world—improving their cognitive abilities and refining the relationship between the subjective and objective worlds. They hide their talents in their body and act when the time is right. Stop when it is time to stop, act when it is time to act; move or rest without missing the moment, and the path will be bright. Become a great philosopher, strategist, and military commander.

Trading philosophy, trading logic, trading rules. Correct cognition, correct thinking, correct behavior, correct habits, correct results.

First, understand a principle: correct cognition (independent thinking, discerning right from wrong) produces correct thinking (e.g., recognizing that you reap what you sow; the Bodhisattva fears causes, ordinary beings fear results). Correct thinking produces correct behavior (sow in spring, grow in summer, harvest in autumn, store in winter). Correct behavior cultivates good habits (a good hunter must be good at waiting). Good habits yield good results (when the melon is ripe, it falls; when water flows, the channel is formed). Then, do the right things and do things right! Observe the Way of Heaven and act in accordance with it—that is all! Heaven has five thieves; those who see them will prosper. The five thieves reside in the heart, and their practice extends throughout heaven. The universe is in your hand, and all transformations arise from your body. Reach the state where heaven and man sense each other, heaven and man communicate, heaven and man unite, heaven and man act together, and all transformations are established as the foundation. This is the law of the Way of Heaven: those who follow it prosper, those who oppose it perish! Then, liberate your thinking. I recommend reading more philosophical works: Laozi’s *Tao Te Ching*, the *Yellow Emperor’s Yin Fu Jing*, Xunzi’s *Encouraging Learning*, Zhuangzi’s *The Great Teacher*, Chairman Mao’s *Selected Works*, *On Practice*, and *On Contradiction*. Among these, you must deeply understand dialectical materialism. These are the laws and principles that all things in heaven and earth follow. They are the foundation for studying all things. The three fundamental laws of dialectical materialism are the law of the unity of opposites, the law of the transformation of quantity into quality, and the law of the negation of the negation. They respectively reveal the source and driving force, the state and form, and the direction and path of the development of all things.
All developments of things must undergo the process of the unity of opposites. When any thing develops to its peak, it will reverse to its opposite and once again reach its own unity of opposites. $BTC ‌
