"You really can't afford to lose, don't kid anymore"-Li Kaifu If you are 20 years old, you are not yet 25 years old. ——Li Kaifu This article is a knife. It hurts to see people, and it hurts to see people. If you are over 20 years old but less than 25 years old, you must find something other than love that can make you stand strong on the ground with your feet. You have to find a way to make a living. It is not too late to consider now. I never thought that academic qualifications are important. Geniuses are not subjects, but they are not subjects. You must gradually transform those floating thoughts into clear ideas and simple words. Beauty and levitation do not last long. You have to know that content, thought, realm, soul, spirit and wisdom are important for the content, thought, state, soul, spirit and wisdom that are not enough to give text reading pleasure. Don't read the words of those female writers who are the same as you. Don't be trivial, groan without illness. Do not write down everything you think of. Don't linger on small sentiments and small touches. I want you to believe in the old-fashioned words of warmth, beauty, trust, dignity, and strength. I don't want you to be decadent, empty, confused, ruining yourself, hurting others. I don't want you to mess with yourself. Temper your feelings and cherish it, knowing that this kind of feeling is not something anyone can want. Experiencing life is another matter, and does not mean depravity and indulgence. do not agree with pretentious cool and extreme behaviors. They are people who have nothing to do. They find an excuse to let themselves have nothing to do. The real coolness is in their hearts. you must have a strong spirit. You must have the belief that you will not be tortured and succumbed despite the passage of time. It was not because I was in the ivory tower of the school that I said that I love the world. It was because I knew that it was dark, dirty, and ugly outside. Love and live. the youth is so short, do not grunt on being old. You can stop and rest occasionally, but don't squat down and look around. Remember not to look back when you have walked a path. Ask yourself from time to time, what are you doing? When you are sad and wronged, you should cry. After crying and washing his face, he patted his face and squeezed out a smile to show himself. Don't rub, or your eyes will swell the next morning. Give yourself a great future and goal. Remember often looking up at the sky. Remember to look at your feet when you look up at the sky. At any time, if anyone asks you how many times you have been in love, the answer is twice. Once he loved me, I didn't love him. Once I loved him, he didn't love me. Good love is always next time. Don't give the same person twice the chance to hurt you. Don't associate with prodigal sons, literary and artistic youths, don't be with heartless people, don't be with people who don't have a proper career to mess around. Don't take sinfulness as true love. Don't be moved by it when a person is trying to please you. One man’s cigarette burns on him, and the next one may burn on you. Similarly, when this woman's blade cut her Wrist, it may cut you next time. Never trust a man who is not going to introduce you to his circle of friends. When a woman is only willing to call you "baby", insist that she call your name because you are a man. When a man or woman doesn't come to you anymore, don't look for him or her again. Don't trust people who use tricks in love. Do not break your mouth when you break up. Learn the lesson, but do not regret it. Regret is no use. Don't do things like tearing up photos, burning letters, tearing up diaries and other third-rate love TV dramas. believe in love. I believe that good men and good women still exist, not yet married, and still looking for you in the vast crowd. Don't say that "men (or women) don't have a good thing." This will make others think that you read countless people. Love matter, appropriately. Always know that mind is over the body. Compared with those famous watches, famous brands, and fashions, what is more beautiful is your diligent and energetic yourself. If every penny you spend after the age of 20 is still reaching out to your parents and relatives, then your full name brand can only bring out your shamelessness. Don't think that you have a taste when you wear a famous brand. You must know that if there is no real connotation, a mule with a golden saddle will not become a horse. You are still young, let alone start your career and create your future, but you are an adult, at least you have to let yourself no longer be a burden to your parents, and let your parents see the hope of 20 years of hard nurturing. Doing nothing will only turn you into a trash, a trash despised by all others, because you are an out-and-out parasite like this. Don't think that by getting a weird hairstyle, wearing clothes that are not male or female, and spraying on pungent perfume, others will pay attention to you. Understand that the eye that attracts you is that others are looking at a different monkey. Many educated people don't write on their faces the disgust of the alternative you, but this disgust will undoubtedly bring you extremely unfavorable consequences. Don't look down on the working people. Don't be ashamed of labor. The land is not dirty, and the sweat does not smell bad. Please respect those who seem to be living in a situation that is not as good as you, but still use their hands honestly to support their families, because this is to respect yourself. Always sympathize with those who live at the bottom, because our relatives are among these people. We are not delicate. We must be able to feed ourselves, this is your dignity. Don't underestimate a penny. Why do not you go have a try? Sometimes you have to be tough, and when you are bullied, you must get it back! But don't hold your hate. The little people's opinion, let them go. Principled tolerance and compassion will make you noble. Girls who are careful are cute, but don't use this kind of scheming in intrigue, it will be very tiring. Don’t be too high-profile, high-profile It is easy to provoke right and wrong. But it can't be too low-key. When it's tough, it's tough, but it must not be aggressive. When you are hurt by a friend, don't doubt your friendship, but beware of those who betray you. forgive, but not forget. Be a little naive, and maintain some chivalry towards friends. Be happy, be cheerful, be tough, be warm. This has nothing to do with character. But you have to be loyal, hardworking, and sincerely respect others, so that your life will not be dark. Be merciful to yourself, and be merciful to others. When you are not angry or sad because of small undesirable things, you will be much easier. Forgive the world and yourself. Tell yourself that I deserve the best of everything.

    What left a deep impression on me was that every time Bud entered the company, the long shot with dark tones and monotonous repetitive visual elements, accompanied by noisy sounds, accurately portrayed the impression that the financial industry left on people. More than 20 years later, when a new financial crisis hits, people still criticize the financial industry the same: greed, not creating value. This is the success of Director Stone, or the failure of the modern economy.

    Greed is the first servant of the business war. Everyone on Wall Street, regardless of their status, has their own money fairy tales in their hearts. Therefore, trampling on the law and destroying human nature is no longer an impossible path.

Wall Street quotes

  • Bud Fox: Life all comes down to a few moments. This is one of them.

  • Gordon Gekko: [at the Teldar Paper stockholder's meeting] Well, I appreciate the opportunity you're giving me Mr. Cromwell as the single largest shareholder in Teldar Paper, to speak. Well, ladies and gentlemen we're not here to indulge in fantasy but in political and economic reality. America, America has become a second-rate power. Its trade deficit and its fiscal deficit are at nightmare proportions. Now, in the days of the free market when our country was a top industrial power, there was accountability to the stockholder. The Carnegies, the Mellons, the men that built this great industrial empire, made sure of it because it was their money at stake. Today, management has no stake in the company! All together, these men sitting up here own less than three percent of the company. And where does Mr. Cromwell put his million-dollar salary? Not in Teldar stock; he owns less than one percent. You own the company. That's right, you, the stockholder. And you are all being royally screwed over by these, these bureaucrats, with their luncheons, their hunting and fishing trips, their corporate jets and golden parachutes.

    Cromwell: This is an outrage! You're out of line, Gekko!

    Gordon Gekko: Teldar Paper, Mr. Cromwell, Teldar Paper has 33 different vice presidents each earning over 200 thousand dollars a year. Now, I have spent the last two months analyzing what all these guys do, and I still can't figure it out. One thing I do know is that our paper company lost 110 million dollars last year, and I'll bet that half of that was spent in all the paperwork going back and forth between all these vice presidents. The new law of evolution in corporate America seems to be survival of the unfittest. Well, in my book you either do it right or you get eliminated. In the last seven deals that I've been involved with, there were 2.5 million stockholders who have made a pretax profit of 12 billion dollars. Thank you. I am not a destroyer of companies. I am a liberator of them! The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA. Thank you very much.
