The importance of willpower:
1/ The collective willpower mentioned by CZ is also the collective direction of the market
Bitcoin has steadily broken through 70,000 US dollars. After 2013, 2017, and 2021, the fourth round of super bull market in the crypto universe has been basically established. 2012 recovery year, 2016 recovery year, 2020 recovery year, 2024 recovery year, 4-year cycle.
All this story starts with the Bitcoin bull market of 16,800 US dollars.
2/ The desire to build self-cognition affects self-shaping:
Zhang Yiming said: You will eventually become what you want, if you really want it.
If you really want to be a wise person, your self-cognition must be a learner, and you will never accept the "useless reading theory".
You don't have high expectations for yourself, but you are actually actively giving up the opportunity to shape yourself.
2/ Get information: In the process of receiving information, the brain will be more sensitive to the content that you really want. Talk show actors see everything as jokes, and product managers see everything as product design. Only when you desire something more than others can you continuously collect relevant information and acquire knowledge in related fields more efficiently than others.
3/ Obtain resources: Only when you really desire something strongly can you accumulate information, gradually connect with people in this circle, and accumulate the network and resources of this circle.
4/ Take action: The desired thing must not be easy, otherwise you would have obtained it long ago. On this difficult road, we often face a lot of physiological rejection, and strong desire drives us to take the initiative to face and solve difficulties.
5/ Desire is a necessary but insufficient condition: I have always felt that the "Law of Attraction" is a pseudoscience, and I still believe that its conclusions have serious survivor bias. However, for most people who are not "born with good luck", "willpower" is probably the only weapon and a necessary but insufficient condition. The so-called "If karma is insufficient, it can be supplemented by vows."
