Young people constantly quoting Buffett to boost their confidence are basically doomed.

Talking about "doing what you love" or "buying good companies to be friends with time."
They hold endless low-cost insurance funds, while you can barely pay next month’s rent with Huabei.
What do you have to be friends with time?
The time of the poor is simply not valuable; blind persistence will only make you die even faster.
Stop deceiving yourself into searching for some "beloved job."
The truth is, the work that can make you your first big sum is often extremely dull or even dirty.
What you think is love is mostly just because you want to escape the competition and blows of reality.
Without solid skills and results that crush your peers, your "love" is nothing in the eyes of capital.
First, take on some dirty, tiring jobs that can make money.
When you have hundreds of thousands sitting in your account and can flip the table at any moment, then you’re qualified to talk about nobility and passion.
And those who talk about value investing all day long—
Using the three or five thousand yuan saved from working, buying so-called great companies, hoping to be financially free in ten years?
Buffett’s stocks can drop 20%, and he can still drink cola in his estate because that’s idle money.
If the stocks you buy drop 20%, you’ll want to jump off a building just to sleep better at night.
The game rules of the capital market are set for those with capital.
Don’t use the survival logic of billionaires to force your own loser script.
Where exactly is the way out for post-00s?
Throw all those grand narratives into the trash, and focus only on actions that can produce immediate positive feedback.
Learn a skill that can be directly monetized, even if it’s just helping someone edit rough short videos or write assembly-line copy, then go exchange it for real money in the market.
When you have no chips, stop listening to the big shots on stage teaching you how to be a person.
Focus on that peer who just made two or three thousand yuan last month using some wild methods.
Peel back all the details of how they gained traffic and monetized, then copy and execute directly.
That’s the only thing you should be doing right now.
