1. People are born different Due to differences in innate qualities and unequal access to education and opportunities in life, the chances of people acquiring resources are always unequal. This leads to significant disparities in social and occupational status, and people should accept this calmly rather than envying, undermining, or engaging in internal strife. The differences in birth make people unequal in wealth, education, and other resources from the moment they are born. People living in the world, despite differing in region, race, and faith, share one thing in common—their purpose in life is to maximize the pursuit of happiness and wealth. Whether they are noble elites or ordinary citizens, they all follow this rule without exception. As the immortal verse by the great Shakespeare goes—The sun shines on your golden palace, and it also brightens my humble cottage! We cannot refuse the beauty that Shakespeare brings to us. But no one can avoid or must face a realistic issue—Who can live in the golden palace? Who is content with the humble cottage? In fact, many of the differences between the owners of the golden palace and the humble cottage are determined by nature, and these gaps are often widened the moment they enter this world, without any choice. No two people are truly equal. Of course, the "equality" here does not refer to the meaning of law, human rights, or personality. People cannot demand any equality beyond law and personality. Strength and weakness oppose each other, wealth and poverty coexist, leadership and subordination are intertwined, and wisdom and stupidity are relative. All inequalities are determined to some extent the moment parents come together. No one can choose their birth. From the moment they are in the womb, people are unequal in access to educational and financial resources. The children of billionaires enjoy gourmet food and meticulous care from the moment they are in the womb, while the children of beggars suffer from hardship and rejection. The children of billionaires are born as little millionaires and receive a good education, while the children of beggars are born at the bottom of society, hungry and cold, let alone receiving a good education. Even if they are naturally talented, they may have to struggle for years or even a lifetime to achieve what the children of wealthy families are born with. Birth leads to inequality in access to education and wealth. Genetic differences make people unequal in acquiring intellectual, ability, and character resources. With a little attention, we can observe many strange phenomena. For example, people are willing to admit genetic differences in physical qualities but reluctant to admit genetic differences in intelligence and ability. In fact, the differences in intelligence and ability caused by genetics greatly affect a person's development and achievements. However, when it comes to intelligence and ability, many upright people, especially public figures or celebrities, almost uniformly avoid discussing the significant genetic differences and often earnestly emphasize clichés like diligence and hard work. Of course, this does not deny or ignore the importance of hard work after birth, and we strongly advocate the great impact of postnatal efforts on a person's social and economic status. We also understand the good intentions of these "celebrities." But before that, we must first acknowledge and happily accept the genetic differences in people's intelligence, ability, and other aspects. The same effort and diligence will always favor those with "talent" When people talk about someone's success, they often lecture others—It's the reward of diligence and hard work. Of course, this affirms the efforts of the successful person, but at the same time, they seem to deny the efforts of others, as if others' lack of success or lesser success is due to lack of effort. They see the efforts of the successful but not the efforts of those who fail or do not succeed, which are not properly respected. In fact, success is relative. The champion is a success, but are the runner-up and the third-place winner not successful? However, the runner-up, the third-place winner, or even those who do not win a medal may not have put in less effort than the champion. The problem is that postnatal effort must be matched with good innate qualities to achieve success. Ignoring the genetic differences in innate qualities while emphasizing postnatal effort will only lead people's thinking astray. Undoubtedly, Yao Ming and Liu Xiang are the most shining stars and successful people in Chinese sports, but who dares to say they are the most diligent and hardworking people in China? But one thing is certain—they are naturally talented people. P47-49
