In the retirement letter of Chen Jinghe, founder of Zijin Mining, there is a phrase that is truly enlightening, and everyone should understand this sentence—

Reverse flow is the shortcut to success in life!

When you work deeply in places where others are unwilling to go for a long time, you will gain three things:

1⃣ A deeper understanding of the system, not just surface rules
2⃣ Real experience with risks and cycles
3⃣ The right to speak and set prices at key positions and nodes

And these, in any era or industry, are more scarce and harder to replicate than temporary income and titles.

The later rewards will also be exponential!
