Many people thanked me after reading yesterday's article. In fact, the content is something I saw from various sources; I just expressed it in my own way. To improve my writing, I recently signed up for Mr. L's writing course, so I should be able to show some progress later.

When friends share the problems they encounter, they often advise others on what to do or not do, but they often find that they themselves cannot do it. For example, parents may impose their unfinished tasks onto their children, hoping that the children can accomplish them too.

Although it's not good to say this, many people in our society, when facing difficulties, follow others' advice to make choices, such as when to get married, which good university to attend, or which good job to find. However, these suggestions do not teach how to be good parents, how to think independently, or how to make decisions for oneself instead of following others.

After all, it is easier to listen to others; if something goes wrong, there is someone to blame. It's like investing; without researching whether there is investment value behind it, one can make money or lose money without understanding.

How to break through adversity? Some say that the premise of breaking through is willpower. But how do we measure willpower? For example, you may find that some people lack willpower in various daily tasks but are full of willpower in specific matters. They can run a full marathon but cannot manage daily updates.

I believe another important point is the need for sufficient information input. Only when you have more information can you have a higher degree of control over things. At that point, you will possess what is called willpower. Willpower cannot rely solely on will; relying only on will is pure success theory.

It's like you shout every day that you want to make money, but you take no action. Just relying on willpower cannot make money; you need to execute to know which things can make money and which cannot.

So relying solely on willpower is not enough; relying on willpower is like a shot of adrenaline. Once the passion fades, it won't work. Only the amount of information and execution can help us maintain breakthroughs in adversity. Willpower is just a term, similar to luck.

So stop saying that willpower can solve everything. Even in a marathon, willpower cannot solve your knee pain in the second half, but Yunnan Baiyao can.

It's inconvenient to write on my phone today, so let's stop here for now.
