All dreamchasers are familiar with this name: Oti Alfalfa.

His achievements have been extensively documented, appearing in every edition of Fortune Academy's textbooks. Students take pride in dining with him, and his words are meticulously recorded and compiled in each edition of The Conversations for external analysis.

以下是奥帝•艾弗法为我们总结的成功秘诀：

Here are the keys to success as articulated by Oti Alfalfa himself:

1、相信你的直觉。任何预测模型都无法准确把捉浪潮退去的时间，你能依靠的只有你的经验和头脑。不要被任何所谓的「内幕消息」欺骗，绝对地相信你的判断力，相信你自己。

1. Trust your instincts. No models can precisely predict when the tides will turn, and all you can rely on is your experience and intellect. Don't get swayed by any "insider information." Always trust your judgment and have faith in yourself.

2、积累财富需要坚实的数学与经济学基础，但成功并不需要。擅长计算，你能成为上层精英，但想要超过所有人，你需要理解和算计。心理学或社会学的知识能为你提供帮助。

2. Accumulating wealth requires solid knowledge in mathematics and economics, but achieving success does not. Calculations may elevate you to the upper echelons, but to surpass all, you need insights. Knowledge in psychology and sociology might help you achieve your target.

3、永远保持对市场的关注。切勿将自己与外界隔绝开来，报表和数字不能代表一切。减少待在你办公室里的时间，去街道上看看，去和生活在这里的人们聊聊天。

3. Always stay attuned to market trends, and never isolate yourself from the bigger world, because figures and reports aren't everything. Spend less time in your office. Go out and look at what's happening on the streets. Go talk to the people living there.

4、坚持到底。若是认准了趋势，不要放弃。

4. Stay committed to your path. Once you have made a decision, perseverance is the key.
