Recently, I keep thinking about a point: there are no wasted moments in life.

The way you are right now is the result of all your past experiences—those seemingly useless detours, failures, and interest shifts—all of which are shaping your uniqueness. Both good and bad count because they all leave their mark on you.

From a different perspective, everything happening now is not meaningless consumption but laying the foundation for your next step.

Instead of worrying "What is my value," it's better to understand: you are inherently valuable. Those experiences, ways of thinking, and interest combinations that others cannot copy—this is true competitiveness. There's no need to deliberately define yourself; your uniqueness itself is your niche.

This sounds a bit familiar... Feels just like trading. Some coins were bought for nothing, but the experience points are maxed out. Taking detours can also count as gains? Then aren't the coins I lost along the way an investment in myself?

I think there's a bit of an issue with that statement—nothing is wasted? What about the money I lost from trading cryptocurrencies before? What do you call that experience...

I think this set of theories sounds great, but can it really be done... --- A detour is still a road, just afraid of wasting it for nothing --- That's right, but I want to know more about how to monetize these "uniqueness" --- If I had known this ten years ago, it could have saved me many mental breakdowns --- NGTLife experience is the strongest PFP, worth more than any profile --- So are those "wasted" times now my moat? Kinda want to believe it --- Can this logic be applied to losses, telling me that every margin call is tuition --- Compared to "no waste," I believe more in the saying "everything is useful" --- Sounds like comfort for failures, but it seems... kind of reasonable

Damn, I like this statement. After messing around in the crypto world for so many years and experiencing various failures, isn't it all about creating uniqueness?
