Train yourself in managing your desires, rather than merely amassing knowledge.
The old adage, "knowledge is power," is one that I challenge. While knowledge can certainly offer an advantage, the real source of power lies in controlling desires. The one who masters the desires of others effectively wields power over them.
Acquiring knowledge can indeed fuel your aspirations, but it's crucial to keep a firm rein on these desires. Devotees of Bitcoin instinctively understand this, for if you pursue anything other than Bitcoin - whether it's quick riches, fame, or material possessions - you risk losing sight of your true aim.
Numerous Bitcoin veterans have faltered because their ambitions lay elsewhere. What they should have yearned for was securing their future. This involves careful planning, prudent saving, and establishing a meaningful legacy.
Thus, it's not about collecting a reservoir of knowledge or chasing immediate gratification. Instead, power lies in fostering the right desires and utilizing knowledge as a tool to manage them efficiently. By doing so, we not only ensure our individual success, but we also help create a better place for everyone.
