Young People: Focus on Skill Planning, Not Career Planning
When you feel confused and uncertain about your future, what can change you is more likely learning a new skill that helps you think, work, and live better. For young people, learning such skills may be more reliable than embracing ideals. Young people's life plans often fail to keep up with reality.

When I was a graduate student in 1999, I also read books on career planning and even made serious 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year plans for my life. The most memorable one was planning to marry at 30, believing a man should first establish his career to secure his future family. But in 2000, right after earning my master's degree, I got married to my current wife. You see, young people's life plans always lag behind reality.

New DistributionFour Steps for Distributors to Move Beyond the Family Model
The biggest obstacle to a distributor's development is upgrading its management model; without a good management model, the distributor will encounter more bottlenecks. Family-style management is the biggest obstacle in the development of distributors.
