Honestly, whether it's creating content, maintaining relationships, or managing your own state—ultimately, it all comes back to investing. And the core secret of investing is simple: cyclical fluctuations are the very rules of the game.

Don't panic when the lows come, and don't get reckless when the highs arrive. The market is like a sine wave, fluctuating up and down. Behind seemingly chaotic oscillations, there is an inherent logic. As long as your operations have real value, the factor of time will automatically smooth out all fluctuations, bringing the curve back to the moving average.

The problem is that too many people are now being hijacked by the fast pace. They want to make quick profits as soon as they get in, and expect immediate results from their investments. But history tells us: in the tortoise and hare race, the true winner has always been the slow-moving tortoise. Give yourself 5 years, 10 years, or even longer to execute—don't ask where the returns are, focus on accumulating value.

While everyone else is measuring input and output in seconds, we should instead learn to slow down—choose to be the silent, diligent tortoise, and believe in the power of compound interest over time. This is the ultimate weapon against cycles.
