When we encounter problems, many people will always complain, I failed because the other party is richer than me, and the other party is richer than me. More opportunities await. But our focus should not be on this. The opponent has good cards, and so do we. All we have to do is use the cards in our hands to win the game. What we compare is our overall strength. Therefore, we need to take a long-term view and have a big picture.

The Celtics have played down the good cards in their hands, while the Warriors have played up the bad cards in their hands. Because of this, the Warriors' championship this year has a higher gold content. When people feel sorry for the Celtics, I want to remind everyone from another angle that there are too many people in this world who have good cards but play poorly. The Celtics are just one of them. They just don't control the cards well. ability.

Interpretation: Li Xiaolai mentioned in his course that our most valuable asset is our attention. This concept is difficult to understand and many people do not recognize it. But it’s only through personal experimentation that we discover how little attention we have at our disposal. For example, a child has time to attend a class for 2 hours, but if he does not last for less than two hours, he will soon become distracted. This is the scarcity of attention. We must protect our attention and spend less time on short videos and news and current affairs, because our attention is really valuable, and our efforts, progress, and accumulation of knowledge and experience all rely on our limited attention.
