How ruthless were ancient con artists?
Mildly, they could bankrupt you completely;
Severely, they could destroy your family and cause death!
Today, let's take a look at some of the ruthless methods used by ancient scammers.
We often hear about the "Eight Gates and Eight Generals":
Zheng, Ti, Fan, Tuo, Feng, Huo, Chu, Yao...
There are also eight tricks in deception,
And the most classic one is Feng Ma Yan Que (also known as Wind Horse Swallow).
The art of deception has existed since the dawn of humanity.

The moment you choose to start a business, don't expect to be an ordinary person.

Never buy a car. Buying a car is the stupidest act in the world, bar none. For ordinary people, do you have some practical financial advice? To prevent everyone from falling into consumption traps. The first suggestion: moderation. The second suggestion: believe in compound interest. The concept of moderation is—no matter how much your income increases, it’s useless. If you are an employee earning 10,000 yuan a month, after deducting social security,

Encouraging people to quit gambling, teaching them how to make money, helping others avoid pitfalls, and paying off their debts—this is not charity, it's exchange. It's using your own luck to change someone else's fate! Never interfere with others' karma. The person you sympathize with will carry their destiny. Not interfering with others' karma means: you see that someone is already in a big pit, but they are stubborn and refuse to see the truth. If you insist on forcing them out—ultimately, you will fall into the deep pit with them.

Depression is caused by a continuous decline in mental energy, leading to a loss of the ability to secrete dopamine! When a person's mental energy keeps decreasing and the brain can no longer produce dopamine, even a genius can only fall. If a genius can't hold on, then children with average brain development who are pressured by their parents to attend top high schools can only be expected to fare even worse.

A rebellious teenager in the neighborhood just got married and married a young, beautiful wife. After the wedding, he bought a Harley motorcycle and would always twist the throttle to the maximum when he went out, making deafening noise that disturbed the entire community. The neighbors advised him, but he would argue with them. One day, he went downstairs again, hopped on his motorcycle, and revved the engine loudly. I happened to be downstairs too, so I directly stopped him. When he saw it was me, he immediately assumed a confrontational stance.

Every man has a fire inside. You either rebirth in the fire or are destroyed by it. Why do so many people love playing games? Because in games, they can gain a sense of achievement and respect that they can't get in real life. But why do you feel empty and self-destructive? Because everything you see is fake. No matter how hard you try to kill enemies and level up gear, you know it's all fake. You are very aware that you can't adapt to reality.

People who enjoy solitude
Carefully observe your surroundings, and you'll find that those who prefer to be alone are often very well-behaved individuals.
These people never cluster together, dislike crowds, don't stir up trouble, and don't deliberately flatter others.
They simply enjoy being alone, appreciate quietness, and prefer to be by themselves.
They do their best in what they should do, enjoy their own spiritual world, and maintain a clean and pure social circle.

Fish: I’m pulling him. Rest assured, go ahead!

You say you like someone else's wife, and it sounds very inappropriate, right? But if you phrase it differently: the person you like has become someone else's wife, and it immediately seems very romantic. A female college student studies during the day and works at a KTV at night, and others might think she's very irresponsible. But if you say she works at a KTV at night and still insists on studying during the day, others will think she's very hardworking. Repeated failures will make her seem very incompetent.

Someone who only believes in Confucianism finds it hard to succeed because they are too naive; someone who only believes in Legalism is likely to fail because they are too radical; and someone who only believes in Daoism might withdraw from society because they define success on their own terms. What exactly are the differences among these three philosophies? Let me explain with a little cat.

Once your goal is set: the people and resources that are conducive to achieving the goal will be perceived by you; the methods to achieve the goal will spontaneously emerge from your mind; and your intrinsic motivation will continuously generate. These are the effects of the subconscious playing a role. Don't worry about lacking talent, resources, or methods—first set the goal, and then keep it in your mind.

How painful would it be to have 100 million?
Storing this 100 million in the bank earns an interest income of 5 million per year, which is about 13,700 per day.
For breakfast, I have a bowl of beef noodles, add 200 yuan worth of beef, and spend 210 yuan on a meal.
At noon, I go for a top-tier seafood buffet, 800 yuan per person.
For dinner, I dine at Hilton for Japanese cuisine, 1,800 yuan per person.
The three meals total 2,810 yuan, and I haven't even spent the change.
The next day, another 13,700 yuan is credited again…

Many GameFi projects have been shouting "play to earn" for a long time, but after just a couple of rounds, players feel empty. RealGo takes a different approach by genuinely connecting Meme culture with real-world actions, trying to make gaming no longer just a digital game on the screen. This project establishes official partnerships with mainstream Memes like DOGE, FLOKI, TOSHI, WIF, etc., turning popular Meme images into catchable virtual pets. Players are no longer just interacting within the game but are also able to collect, trade, and showcase these virtual Meme pets in the real world.

The most important factor in becoming wealthy is — the desire to make money. When most people talk about rich people, they tend to think it's because they are capable, smart, talented, or come from a good background. But in reality, none of that is the most important thing; the desire to earn big money is the most crucial. Without the desire to make a lot of money, they will choose to work for others, and even when starting a business, they will settle for being comfortably well-off. This is one of the most mind-changing realizations I have had since becoming an adult.

Do you know how hard it is to earn money nowadays? I went to a foot massage parlor and met a new technician. She said she used to sell grilled sausages and spicy hotpot at the subway entrance, making 600 to 800 yuan in one night, and sometimes over a thousand. At first, she was the only one doing it, and business was pretty good. Later, when others saw she was making money, they started doing the same thing, and she couldn't keep up. She stayed in the dormitory for about a week and then started working at the foot massage parlor.

On the path of growth, what do you think is the one thing you regret not doing the most?

Before age 30, young people have two paths: one is to enter the system and be arranged; the other is to leave the mothership and build their own lifeboat. Today’s approach is not a suggestion, but a survival model. The first step: leave familiar society. Don’t go back to your hometown, don’t settle in the first-tier city, rent a place in a new first-tier city. Why? Not for development, but to cut off dependence on old relationships.

All of a person's misfortunes stem from a lack of courage. Because there are too many things to fear, too many things to let go of, making it impossible to pursue what they truly want at all costs. The difference between ordinary people and experts is:
