In the investment field, timely stop loss referred to when the loss of a certain investment reached a predetermined amount, it was necessary to cut the position or sell the asset in time to avoid a larger loss. This was a risk management strategy. For example, if an investor bought a stock and set a stop-loss point, once the stock price fell to the stop-loss point, they would sell the stock to prevent further losses. At the same time, timely loss control could also be applied to other aspects of life, such as quitting an inappropriate job, cutting off entangled feelings, etc., knowing how to accept the situation that has already happened and cannot be changed, and decisively stopping or withdrawing when it is realized that it is inappropriate, trying to avoid greater losses or strive for positive results.
The latest chapter of the Stop Loss novel is chapter 163, which can be viewed at:
The idioms that could be used to describe a timely stop loss include making up for lost sheep, stopping when enough is enough, stopping after a little taste, turning back, and so on.
Stopping losses in time was a concept of behavior that was reflected in many fields. In terms of interpersonal relationships, it meant that when encountering people who constantly consumed him, such as those who were ungrateful, used others, and repaid kindness with ingratitude, he had to decisively draw a line with them, reject their unreasonable demands, and stay away from them to avoid further damage to his time, energy, reputation, and so on. In terms of relationships, when you find that a relationship is not suitable, even if you have feelings for the other party, you have to know how to let go. In the face of unpleasant experiences in the past, one would not be entangled by them and learn to move on. This concept reflected the idea of knowing how to weigh the pros and cons. When something developed in a direction that was not conducive to oneself, one would decisively stop investing in it to avoid suffering greater losses.
The story of stopping the losses in time originated from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty in China. Zhang Jiao started the Yellow Turban Uprising in Tianshui Prefecture, and his army expanded and conquered many cities. However, he did not retreat in time after occupying Wancheng. Instead, he continued to attack Luoyang in pursuit of victory, which eventually led to the failure of the Yellow Turban Army and his own death. Later generations concluded that the concept of " timely stop loss " meant that one had to be careful when doing things and give up the benefits they had gained in time. They could not be greedy, or they might lose everything. This reflected the principle of timely retreat in management. In addition, stopping losses in time was also considered a life attitude of Haruki Murakami.
Only by knowing when to stop could he stop the loss in time.
The following are some scenarios that reflect the timely stop loss: - In a consumption scenario, A helped B a lot, and B treated A to a meal as a thank you. Out of consideration for B, A negotiated with the restaurant to understate the amount of consumption, but B was stingy and ungrateful when paying the bill. After A saw B's character, although he paid more money, he thought that the 330 yuan would allow him to see B's character completely and choose to stay away from B. This was a way to stop his losses in time and stop interacting with people with bad character. This would prevent him from suffering more damage to his interests and mental consumption in the future. - In an emotional relationship, such as a dating scene, the woman would constantly nitpick on the man's financial ability, appearance, and other aspects. When the man realized that the woman only valued material things and did not respect others, he decisively stopped interacting with the woman and stopped wasting time on the woman. This was also a timely stop. - Also, in terms of marriage, after the woman found out that the man and his first love, Bai Yueguang, were cheating on each other, she chose to take revenge and leave the man. Even if the man later regretted and asked for forgiveness, the woman would not look back and focus on her career to succeed. This meant that the woman had stopped her losses in time after seeing the nature of the man's deception and got out of a bad relationship to avoid continuing to fall into pain and being deceived.
In many cases, stopping losses in time was a correct and wise approach. From the perspective of interpersonal relationships, when interacting with people who are not worth it, such as those who constantly consume their energy and bring negative energy, continuing to maintain the relationship may cause them to be in trouble. At this time, stop the loss and bid farewell to this relationship, which is conducive to their own growth and development. When facing a relationship problem, if you find that you are not suitable for the other party, even if you have feelings, you can choose to stop the relationship in time to avoid more harm and unnecessary entanglements. From the perspective of personal development, when faced with things or habits that were not conducive to one's progress, stopping them in time, such as staying away from bad habits or ineffective social interactions, would allow one to have more time and energy to improve themselves. For example, through sports and reading, one could maintain their life and improve their self-cultivation. However, whether the " timely stop loss " was correct or not also needed to be judged according to the specific situation. Sometimes, a situation that seemed to require a loss on the surface might turn around with perseverance and hard work. However, such persistence also required a certain limit and rational judgment. Otherwise, one might fall into a situation where they would not come to their senses.
The meaning of " it was just that I was lost at that time " was that these emotions had already made me feel lost and disconsolate at that time, and it was not that I would only feel disconsolate and resentful when I reminisced about it now. This sentence was a description of the emotions of the past. It expressed that at the time of the incident, people might have been deeply immersed in a complex emotion that was difficult to describe. This emotion included loss, confusion, and so on. As time passed, it became a deeper emotional experience when reminiscing. The novel,"The Morality of the Past", is equally exciting.
