Cognitive awakening does not mean that you can make money
Cognitive awakening means being able to think independently. When facing a problem or a matter, you have your own thinking and insights, instead of just following what others say and doing what others arrange without any thinking of your own.
From not thinking about anything to having your own thinking, this is a big breakthrough, which many people cannot break through. Most people just go with the flow and live step by step according to the way others arrange.
Having your own independent thinking, regardless of whether this thinking is right or not, being able to think independently is the most important step to understand the true meaning of this world, and the closer the thinking is to the correct truth, the higher the cognition, and improving cognition is to improve the correctness of thinking about problems and things.
It is very painful to have cognitive awakening but no money. When there is no awakening cognition, it will not be very painful to have no money. At most, you will live numbly, because most people are similar. But when cognition is awakened, you start to think, understand some truths of this society, but you are struggling at the bottom, this pain is really uncomfortable.
Making money is not enough for cognitive awakening, but also requires unity of knowledge and action, plus a little luck. Learn more real knowledge, learn to distinguish and stay away from useless or even harmful knowledge, learn and understand the truly useful knowledge, and practice it to achieve unity of knowledge and action.
Knowing is not easy, doing is even harder, and unity of knowledge and action is even harder. Knowing does not necessarily mean you can do it. Many people know a lot of great principles, but they just don't do it, or they do it at a discount, because most of the truly useful great principles are against human nature, it is not easy to do it, and even if you do it, you may not achieve the expected results, so you need a little luck.
There is also a long way to go from cognitive awakening to making money, which can be as short as two or three years, as long as six or seven years, or even ten or twenty years. This process is long and difficult, and pain is common, but you must persist. It is not easy to find the right path, and it is equally difficult to succeed on the right path.
