Do the "Three No's"

1. Not credulous

To be "not credulous", any sudden investment instructions, suggestions and advice from anyone should be used as a reference only, and you should not blindly follow them in pursuit of high returns. Especially when someone you met on the Internet suddenly said that he would lead you to make money, and claimed that there was no risk at all.

If you have such a mind, you can get rich in a short time, at least better than others. It takes less time. However, on the road to success, although you can take shortcuts, it is easy to be calculated if you look forward to taking shortcuts too much.
