#特朗普数字资产政策新方向 Don’t just focus on other people’s luxury cars and good news. The price behind the life you envy may be something you simply can’t bear.

This is something a founder worth over 100 million told me. He shared a harsh truth—most people’s lives are fundamentally the same: messy, with everyone paying their own price.

The glamour you see is real. But the breakdowns you don’t see are just as real.

He started his business in his twenties, and for over a decade, he never had a good night’s sleep. Taking calls at midnight, handling crises, putting out fires everywhere—that’s his normal. The company grew, he achieved financial freedom, but stomach ulcers, a broken marriage, and barely seeing his child also became part of his daily life.

He told me: “Health, family, freedom—I traded them all for what I’ve achieved now. You think you want my life? You couldn’t handle the path I’ve walked.”

This also applies to the investment world. You envy the big shots who caught a 100x coin, but you don’t know how many times they got liquidated, how many sleepless nights they had, or how many family moments they missed. The profit screenshots shared in WeChat Moments only show the highlight reel. No one takes photos of their losses, struggles, or when they have to cut their losses.

Every result you want comes with a whole set of hidden costs. Social media only shows the polished highlights, not the real story of life.

So next time you envy someone, first ask yourself: are you willing to bear the costs they paid? Think about the process before you chase the results.
