Investing in health is the “long-termism” that entrepreneurs should adhere to.

In 2024, a five-hour hearing made TikTok CEO Zhou Shouzi famous throughout the Chinese world.

“He really is so handsome that I am stunned by him,” said netizen Xuanxuan – wearing a well-ironed suit, with an upright figure and bright eyes, the “business elite” we imagined in our minds suddenly had a face.

This easily reminds people of the “husband brother” Ha Do-young in the popular Korean drama “Dark Glory”. The difference is that the latter has a trace of fatigue in his eyes. Some netizens joked, “Maybe it’s because he doesn’t eat carbohydrates?”

The high-quality appearance gained by sacrificing the desire for food is painful and difficult to sustain. For high-end elites, including entrepreneurs, such a “cultivation” approach is no longer worth pursuing. In the real world, the only person who can fit the “elite” portrait with Zhou Shouzi is Gu Ailing – beautiful, optimistic, and full of energy.

Japanese writer Haruki Murakami once said: “The body is everyone’s temple. No matter what is enshrined in it, it should be kept strong and beautiful. In this era, the body is not only a temple for the soul, but also a manifestation of a person’s comprehensive strength.”

All startups, in the end, are all about energy.

90% of Buffett’s wealth was earned after he turned 60. The roses given by time become more fragrant over time, which is exactly the best gift for value investors.

Life is a long marathon , and all entrepreneurial endeavors ultimately rely on energy and physical strength. So, how can you invest in your health to reap rich compound interest in the future?

It is generally believed that elites with wealth and status must have a more leisurely life and a healthier body. In fact, the glamor is only external. The elites who are burdened with huge pressure and expectations almost all face different degrees of “slow health problems”.

In the early years, the China Entrepreneur Confederation conducted a survey on the health of more than 300 entrepreneurs across the country and found that 92.3% of entrepreneurs had health problems to varying degrees, and 23.1% of entrepreneurs had “three highs” (high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and high blood lipids). This data continued to rise with age, and 57% of entrepreneurs over 50 years old had “three highs”; a follow-up survey of entrepreneurs in the Yangtze River Delta region showed that 70% of the 400 respondents suffered from insomnia, and almost 80% of the respondents were in sub-health status.
