No man is an island, standing alone.

Everyone wants to live a strong life.

In fact, only a handful of people live to be strong.

It is not easy to become a strong person, but you can observe some characteristics of strong people and then work hard to cultivate these characteristics.

Little by little, step by step, get closer to the strong and slowly become a truly strong person.

Understand these three laws and learn to think and act like a strong person.

01. crab law

If you put only one crab in the bamboo basket, the lid must be closed, otherwise it will crawl out.

But if you put a few more in, you don’t have to put the lid back on.

Because when a crab climbs to the mouth of the basket, the other crabs will drag it down, and so on, and no crab can successfully climb out.

This is the famous “Crab Law”:

“If I’m unhappy, I want to see other people unhappy too;

If I can’t climb up, I also want to hold on to others so that others can’t climb up either. “
