  A top-tier mindset that makes you addicted to learning like gaming: Evolve "Black Vitality" . Why do you lack motivation, struggle to study, or fail to absorb knowledge even when pushing yourself? Because learning is inherently anti-human nature . Anti-human nature means pain, and pain triggers the urge to escape. Parents and teachers, hoping to motivate us to endure this pain, simplistically preach: "Study hard for a bright future; slack off and face a bleak one." In today’s transparent information age, such inspirational or fear-driven slogans have lost their power. Even learning influencers claim that  "to find motivation, you must ignite intrinsic drive" —whether through grand aspirations, intellectual curiosity, or seeking positive feedback. Do these methods work? Yes, but barely . Having goals or feedback doesn’t guarantee motivation.

If you want to achieve explosive growth in a short time and live a "cheat-code" life, you must urgently upgrade your "underlying operating system."

The accumulation of these choices shapes different destinies. Where you choose to spend your time and attention. Whether you persist in taking action toward a goal. Ho...

A recent controversial article from Zhejiang University titled *"24/67,656: They Won the University’s Top Scholarship"* starkly exposes the root of societal burnout. Our education system operates like an assembly line , churning out identical "standardized products." Those who meet the criteria become cogs in the machine—nails or screws. Those who don’t? Discarded as "defective goods," left scrambling for purpose. This is the  "Meritocracy Trap." We’re all taught to strive to be the "numerator"—the exceptional few. Yet, despite our efforts, most end up as overlooked "denominators." Meritocracy blames us:  "You didn’t work hard enough. Your grades aren’t stellar. Your credentials are lacking."  So, we chase the same narrow path, sacrificing sanity for a sliver of...
