[Life] Sharpening the Sword for Ten YearsAuthor: JEFFI CHAO HUI WU Time: 2025-7-22 Tuesday, 4:35 AM ········································ [Life] Sharpening the Sword for Ten Years Sharpening the sword for ten years, yet its edge remains untested. What does a person who has forged their will for half a lifetime know? If you ask whether it can be compared to Longquan, And see the day when the green blade is drawn from its sheath. Many years ago, I came to Australia alone. I still remember this poem, which I wrote myself. At that time, no one understood, and no one asked me why. But back then, I had already begun to sharpen my sword—only that sword was not a weapon, but a system, a logic, a rhythm, a complete prototype of future civilization. Ten years ago, I went through nine years of night school and failed the customs declaration exam nine times. That was the longest persistence in my life, as well as the most complete collapse. I once believed that as long as I worked hard to pass that threshold, I could obtain a formal position and integrate into this society. But the reality repeatedly told me: that door was not designed for me. I studied a lot and practiced hard, yet I could never enter that system. During the same period, I also experienced extreme coldness in the workplace. I did the workload of half a team alone, yet I was marginalized and excluded for being "not willing to work overtime" and "not fitting in," ultimately being driven out. On that day, I did not argue or feel angry. I simply understood: this system does not welcome rhythmic individuals. So, I decided to carve out my own path. Since 2005, I have given up looking for a job, no longer seeking capital, and no longer explaining myself to others. I began to build my own system, creating an inventory system using Excel and barcode scanners, coordinating multiple third-party warehouses single-handedly, establishing a virtual logistics company, and operating a national website, "Australia Long Wind Information Network," with a forum and classified platform structure. I also simultaneously launched the quarterly publication "Australia Rainbow Parrot," completing the selection of articles, typesetting, printing, and mailing without a team, resources, or endorsements, and it has been collected by institutions such as the National Library of Australia and the Beijing Modern Literature Museum. These systems were not launched with the approval of others. Back then, I wrote over a hundred plans, feasibility reports, held countless meetings, and made numerous flights from southern Australia to various cities in the Northern Hemisphere, trying to explain my ideas, my systems, and my rhythm. Everyone opposed. They said, "You can't do so much on your own." They said, "Without profit forecasts, no one will invest." They said, "Without focus, success is impossible." I understand their logic. They live in an efficiency model, on a linear path. Meanwhile, I exist in a web of interlocking systems, structural loops, and rhythmic scheduling. I am not greedy; I am trying to find multiple possible paths in the maze. Because I know, I am not competing to see who moves faster; I am designing the maze itself. One day, I suddenly thought, why do people get lost? It's because they can only see the walls. Only two types of people can navigate the maze: one is the designer, and the other is the person who looks down from above. At that moment, I understood that no system in the world can truly command the entire world unless it can transcend this plane. Until I saw satellite navigation. A satellite, high in the sky, does not issue commands or control vehicles, yet can simultaneously guide countless vehicles with different routes, destinations, and speeds to successfully reach their endpoints. At that moment, I was stunned. It turns out that a structural intelligent entity does not lead others, but rather positions itself. So I continued to build with even more determination. I didn't tell others what I was going to do. I just kept doing it, year after year. Each year, I added the results to the proposal and went to find people. The answers I received were always the same: too complex, too unpredictable, too unlike a business plan. One day, I sealed all the plans. I understood: this world is not too cruel, but it can only recognize "ready-made results," rather than "pre-designed plans." Since then, I have decided: I will no longer seek understanding, nor wait for recognition. With my own hands, rhythm, and system, I turn everything into reality. I no longer announce my goals; I only publish results. I no longer write "what I want to do"; I only show "what I have accomplished." Everyone says that one person cannot go this far, with limited energy and limited ability. But I counter them: if a team is heading in the wrong direction, having more people will only lead to dispersion. And if my pace is right, even if I walk alone, I am still the commander. In the face of challenges, I am the entire army. So I create websites to collect and publish information, sharing it with those in need; I establish writing groups and publish quarterly journals to bring together people from different backgrounds to exchange ideas; I design systems to streamline processes, enabling limited resources to accomplish tasks more accurately than large teams. Everything done above is essentially equivalent to: standing at the top of the maze and looking down, drawing a shareable map for this chaotic world, to be given to those who are still struggling within it but wish to find a way out. What I hone is not the sword of physics. What I hone is a complete system of civilization. Today, it has been unsheathed. Source: http://www.australianwinner.com/AuWinner/viewtopic.php?t=696985 |
