Li Ka-shing describes opportunities like this:
Any opportunity will go through four stages: looking down; invisible; unable to understand; too late...
A When new things appear, when only 50 people know about it, do it quickly. This is an opportunity, and you have already taken the lead; when 50 people know about it, you can just be a consumer; when more than 50 people know about it, you don’t even need to look at it. .
Li Ka-shing’s classic sayings
1. When you put down your dignity to make money, it means you are sensible. When you use money to earn back face, it means you have succeeded. When you can make money with your face, it means you are already a figure. When you still stay there drinking, bragging, pretending to understand nothing, and only love the so-called face, it means that this is what you will do in your life.
2. Making money depends on opportunities, and success depends on credibility. If others give up, you have to take action.
3. Eggs, broken from the outside are food, broken from the inside are life. So is life.
4. Everything must be fully prepared before doing it. Even if you have a hundred strength to accomplish something, you still have to reserve two hundred strength to attack, rather than just taking a gamble.
5. Of course, we need to be on guard against bad people, but they are only a minority after all. We cannot stop eating because of choking, and we cannot even shut out our friends just to guard against a very small number of bad people.
6. Only by keeping a low profile can you avoid attracting attention and becoming the target of others' attacks. If you don't show yourself too much, you won't arouse the hostility of others, and others won't be able to capture your reality.

11. Dignity comes from strength, and strength comes from hard work. A person with credit will certainly have more opportunities than a person without credit, who is lazy, spends money indiscriminately, and does not seek to make progress.
