A classic perspective worth reflecting on — many people always say that the world cannot be speculative and there are no shortcuts. Is that true? Looking at it from a different angle, the market is quite the opposite. Those who can take the fast track never shy away from admitting they are speculating; among successful people, they make up the majority, probably over 80%. What's the key difference? It's not about what they do, but about the fact that the profits they earn only flow to themselves. In other words, those who dare to seize opportunities and seek efficiency are often already ahead of the market. Those who say they should be honest sometimes end up guarding the gate for others.

This is a brilliant statement; the gatekeeper mentality is truly sick. Those who make money through speculation are smart; those who lose should just accept it. Eighty percent of successful people are in speculation? Then am I in the remaining twenty percent? Haha. The market never shows mercy to honest people, that's true. Wake up, everyone. Opportunities are always reserved for those with courage. So the key is whether you dare to bet, not a moral issue.

That's a brilliant point—some people want to hold onto their small patch of land but refuse to admit that they're actually working for the big players.

There's nothing wrong with that. The word "speculation" has been demonized, but it's really just about whether you see the opportunity or not. About 80% of successful people are investing; they just earn their money calmly and steadily. Honest rule-followers are actually the ones stepping on others. Those who can seize the opportunity never hide what they're doing—that's true clarity. The market always belongs to those who dare to act; rules are originally made for those who can't keep up.

That's right, goalkeepers will never earn more than explorers.

Well said, speculation is essentially information asymmetry plus execution ability; those who pretend to be innocent ultimately end up as the little guys.
