This sounds good, but what’s the reality? Most people either choose to starve or sell themselves; the middle path is not that easy to walk.

Sounds good in theory, but in reality, most people still have to compromise. Everyone wants to make money while maintaining their principles.

This "smart handling" sounds simple, but how exactly do you do it? Can you provide a roadmap?
---
Haha, I just want to know how many people have really managed to be both wealthy and soulful.
---
The core really depends on how much your "principles" are worth; the answers vary completely at different stages.

It sounds like a motivational quote, but it really hits home for those in Web3.

So the key is to find the right track and ensure that principles and profits can align.

I like this statement; it's much more reliable than those that force people to choose one or the other.

It sounds ideal, but the reality is that most people simply don't have the opportunity to "handle it smartly" and have long been forced to pick sides.
---
So what exactly does it mean to handle it smartly? It feels like this statement is too vague.
---
It's a load of nonsense. Who doesn't want to be rich without losing their soul? The key is how to achieve that.
---
That's why most wealthy people are either very pure or very hypocritical; there is no middle ground.
---
It's easy to say, but the practical execution is hell.
---
I just want to know how many people have really managed to balance these two things.
---
Values can sometimes just be a form of self-comfort; let's not deceive ourselves.
---
It really depends on how you define "soul" and "wealth"; in most cases, these two are fundamentally opposing.
