🧐 99% of people surrender under pressure, while 1% seize opportunities under pressure｜How to maintain your cognitive advantage under immense pressure?

Good opportunities are generally accompanied by immense pressure!

I believe this is a consensus we all share;

Another consensus is: fear arises from pressure, and because of fear, we hesitate to continue, leading to missed opportunities. This is an emotion that often occurs among ordinary people.

For example, bottom-fishing opportunities during events like 312 and 519, or the multiple failures encountered while pursuing a good idea, as well as the influence of others' evaluations, can all create pressure that leads to missed chances.

In fact, let's change our perspective: the greater the pressure, the greater the opportunity!

But how do we avoid being crushed by pressure and seize opportunities?

Teacher Wang Chuan mentioned that the first reaction when facing pressure should not be action, but awareness. I think this is excellent and is a method I often use.

When faced with pressure, people tend to retreat, which is a survival strategy evolved over millions of years: avoiding conflict, maintaining group acceptance, and evading short-term dangers.

The problem is—

This mechanism has been overly generalized in modern society and is not suitable for contemporary competition.

First, we need to default to not responding or making decisions, because many issues are not clear at first glance. Many sources of pressure are not real threats but rather false frameworks; once a decision is made, it cannot be undone.

We need to combat systemic uncertainty.

I like this saying:

"Those who set the game want you to place your bets quickly; only those who do not bet have the right to control the game."

We can think calmly, and then through physical regulation, help our brains escape the primitive reaction mode.

We need to identify, "Is this inducing me to make a decision, or did I want to decide in the first place?" Clearly step out of the system, observe the system, and then make a decision.
