DeepSeek's analysis and interpretation from an investment perspective have deepened our understanding 1. Come like wind and rain, go like dust Interpretation: Opportunities and challenges in life often come suddenly (like wind and rain), but leave silently (like dust). Case: In the field of entrepreneurship, many emerging industries such as sharing economy and blockchain have suddenly emerged, attracting a large amount of capital and talent. However, over time, many projects gradually disappear, leaving only a few successful ones. For example, the bike sharing industry rapidly rose in 2016-2017, but by 2019, many companies (such as ofo) had gone bankrupt due to broken funding chains. 2. Transport gold to become iron, and when iron arrives, it looks like gold Interpretation: When luck is bad, gold can also turn into iron; When lucky, iron can also turn into gold. Emphasize the importance of timing and luck. Case: In the investment field, early Bitcoin investors bought at an extremely low price in 2010, but later the price skyrocketed, achieving financial freedom. However, some people entered the market at its peak in 2017 and subsequently encountered a bear market, resulting in a significant reduction in their assets. 3. Everything is fate, and it is beyond human control Interpretation: Many things seem destined, and personal efforts can sometimes be difficult to change the outcome. Case: In the industry, some people with outstanding abilities may become unemployed due to company strategic adjustments or industry decline, while others with average abilities may rise to fame due to industry trends or the help of influential people. 4. Mo Daojun left early, and there were even early passersby Interpretation: Don't think you acted earlier, there are people who acted earlier than you. Case: In the technology industry, many companies are competing for the "first mover advantage". For example, Apple was not the first company to launch smartphones, but through innovation and execution, it surpassed early competitors such as Nokia. To survive and become wealthy, one must put in a lot of effort Interpretation: To achieve success and wealth, one must put in tremendous effort. Case: Many successful entrepreneurs (such as Jack Ma and Elon Musk) have experienced numerous difficulties and setbacks in the early stages of their entrepreneurship, but they ultimately achieved success through persistent efforts. 6. Be gentle in your strength and bear heavy loads, speak lightly and do not advise others Interpretation: Do not take on excessive responsibility when you lack ability, and do not easily advise others when your status is low. Case: In the workplace, if a newcomer takes on tasks beyond their abilities too early, it may lead to failure. For example, a newly hired manager who attempts to change the company's long-standing management style may face resistance. 7. It is advisable to retreat from the depths of gratitude, and to rest when one is proud Interpretation: When receiving great favors, one should know how to quit at the right time, and when feeling proud, one should know how to stop in moderation. Case: In investment, many people fail to exit in time at the peak of a bull market, resulting in heavy losses in a bear market. For example, before the 2008 financial crisis, many investors failed to withdraw from the stock market in a timely manner, resulting in a significant reduction in assets. If we hadn't looked up high at that time, who would have believed that the east would flow eastward and the ocean would be deep Interpretation: It is difficult to understand the essence of things without personally trying or experiencing them. Case: In entrepreneurship, many people have confidence in a certain industry, but only realize the fierce competition and huge risks after entering it. For example, many people have illusions about the catering industry, but only realize after actual operation that the profits are meager and the management is complex. 9. The weakness of a horse's carriage is due to thinness, while a person's lack of elegance is only due to poverty Interpretation: The reason why horses cannot run is because they are thin and weak, and the reason why people are not graceful is because of poverty. Emphasize the influence of material conditions on individual behavior. Case: In social situations, people with better economic conditions are often more likely to show confidence and charm, while people with poorer economic conditions may appear restrained due to inferiority complex. 10. With tea and wine, there are many brothers. In times of crisis, I have never seen anyone Interpretation: In times of prosperity, there are many friends, but in times of adversity, few people lend a helping hand. Case: In business cooperation, many people make a large number of "friends" when the company is developing smoothly, but when the company encounters difficulties, these "friends" often avoid them. For example, when some start-up companies experience a break in their funding chain, former investors and partners withdraw their investments one after another. summary This ancient text reveals the wisdom of opportunities, efforts, fate, and interpersonal relationships in life through vivid metaphors and profound philosophy.
