Don't choose the easy path when you're young

Many people have told me: "I really admire you, but I can't work as hard as you, it's too exhausting."

I understand. Who doesn't want to take it easy? Leaving time for yourself and for life is everyone's natural longing. But what I want to share is: what you give up might be more than just a chance to make money.

What you give up is—the ability to be forced out during problem-solving; the resilience honed through repeated persistence; the clarity of mind under immense pressure; the courage to try again even when you can't see the results.

These are more precious than simply "earning money."

This isn't just motivational talk; it's the most genuine logic of life: all the "ease and grace" you envy today have all experienced "total embarrassment" before.

A person's greatest opponent is often not external difficulties, but the inner voice that always wants to "take a break." Doing one thing isn't hard; just start. Persist for a few days; grit your teeth and get through it. The hard part is to keep going, for the long haul, even without immediate feedback—never give up until the end.

So, when you feel especially tired, especially difficult, or even doubt why you're on this path, take a moment to think:

Perhaps, it's precisely because you're climbing uphill.

The downhill is always smooth and easy; only on the uphill will you be panting and your legs heavy. But the view from the top of the mountain always belongs to those willing to climb step by step.

Don't fear pressure, don't avoid busyness. When you're young, the best investment is investing in yourself—your abilities, your vision, and your resilience.

Only by trying your best do you have the qualification to say luck isn't on your side; only by fighting through can you calmly accept any outcome. The person you become in this process is already different from who you were before.

Don't choose comfort when you're capable of running. Every "not easy" moment today is quietly exchanging for an "amazing" tomorrow.

Let's encourage all of you who are on the way.
