Many people always think about finding shortcuts, either studying economic models or figuring out various strategies. In fact, there is a simpler and more straightforward approach that everyone has overlooked.

You don't have to rely on economics or modeling; you can still win.

I'm personally using this method—because that's just how reality is: not outstanding enough in appearance, not rich enough in pocket. But this can actually be an advantage. The key points are fourfold: First, organize yourself well, communicate and handle affairs systematically; second, stay genuine, don't pretend, don't be hypocritical; third, be interesting—able to chat, resonate, and create surprises; and last but most importantly—don't be stingy. Be generous where money should be spent, help others without hesitation.

These four things are more effective than any complicated theory. Information gaps will disappear, models will fail, but a reliable, interesting, and sincere person will always be scarce. Starting from here, it's more practical than burying yourself in those grand narratives.
