description: "Regarding Zhang Xuefeng's situation, I'm worried I might end up like him. I get up at 9 AM every morning to go to work and finish at 11 PM. There's always a pile of things at the company. On the way home after work, I sometimes get headaches, sometimes chest pains. Sometimes I work until the early hours. There are times I want to rest too, but there's always more to do. So many people depend on me for their livelihood. Perhaps only entrepreneurs can truly relate to this feeling. Sometimes, I'm really, really exhausted.The moment I open my eyes, I'm already in debt. The moment I open my eyes, I have to earn today's expenses. Anyone in foreign trade knows that capital is always circulating outside. It's either settling this payment or that payment. It's either buying stock or paying for logistics. You have to use every penny to its fullest.There's always more to do every day. Enough said. I'm getting up now, going for a run, and then heading to work! Let's go, a new day!I really need to cut down on my working hours later. You really can't earn all the money in the world! But I've said this many times already. Sometimes when I go out with my family, I say I'll just handle something for a few minutes, and it ends up taking half a day. This has happened many times. Some things I just can't bring myself to delegate! It's exhausting to have so many resources concentrated in my own hands.Why did emperors in the past have such short average lifespans? And Zhuge Liang too. It's because they concentrated too many resources in their own hands. But sometimes, many things just can't be delegated. I've experienced betrayal, so it's even harder to delegate core matters!"
