【The Power of Protecting: Those Who Can Overcome Greed Protect Their Lives】
Hello, this is DOLCE.
Now that the "17 Ways to Earn" series has concluded, the next thing I want to share is—
the "Power of Protecting."
If you lack this power, no matter how much you earn, you will lose it all.
The Principal has spoken about this many times in his live streams.
“It is harder to protect money than it is to earn it.”
🧩 "Get-rich-quick" schemes are traps that test your reason.
The power of protecting is tested when you hear a "too good to be true" offer.
“Guaranteed profit,”
“Your income will increase if you refer others,”
“Planned for IPO,” “Special access”—
The moment these words come up,
it is proof that your "mental brake test" has begun.
In fact, there were people around the Principal who experienced this.
Someone who was diligently building assets
had their heart stolen by a "30% annual return investment offer,"
and not only did they lose millions of yen,
but they also introduced that scheme to their acquaintances—.
Then, when those acquaintances told them, "You are the scammer,"
even their personal relationships were destroyed.
This is the horror of a Ponzi scheme.
It steals not just your money, but your trust and your peace of mind as well.
💀 What is a Ponzi scheme?
In a nutshell,
it is "a system where dividends are paid to old participants using the funds of new participants."
In other words, it is running on "new people's money," not "actual profits."
That is why it collapses the moment someone stops joining.
Yet, in the early stages, the "dividends" actually arrive.
That is what makes people believe.
Thinking, "It's actually making money!"
But that is a castle built on sand.
💬 Why do people get deceived?
Even when humans know in their heads that something is "suspicious,"
there are moments when "greed" wins out.
“Everyone around me is making money,”
“I don't want to be left behind.”
These emotions are the most dangerous.
Scammers target exactly that.
They are not selling a "product," they are selling a "dream."
And they do it by exploiting your "impatience."
🛡️ Power of Protection = Power of Doubt + Power of Knowledge
The power of protection is not just about being vigilant.
**"Literacy to see through information."**
As the principal often says,
"The best way to train your power of protection is to 'know'."
The mechanics of investment, how to read contracts, basic knowledge of taxes, insurance, and loans—
if you know these, you can immediately spot the 'contradictions' in fraudulent claims.
If you know these,
you can immediately spot the 'contradictions' in fraudulent claims.
💡 People who are truly profitable do it quietly.
People who recommend 'get-rich-quick' schemes on social media or LINE.
They are not 'earners,' they are 'gatherers.'
People who are truly achieving results
do not go around recommending such things to others.
Because it is a waste of time.
Genuine investors and entrepreneurs
are building things up quietly and steadily.
Even if it's plain, it's certain.
🧘♂️ Protecting your heart = Protecting your money
The power of protection is 'calmness' and 'maintaining distance'.
Stop for a moment,
and ask yourself, 'Is this really a necessary risk?'
If you feel even a little bit of 'anxiety' or 'impatience',
that moment is your chance to stop.
When greed stirs, use your reason to apply the brakes.
That is the true power of protection.
🌅 Finally: Those who can overcome greed protect their lives.
What the DOLCE characters teach us is,
'Earning is not easy, but protecting is even harder.'
That is why,
you must learn, doubt, and think.
Polishing your 'power of protection'
means protecting the future of yourself and your loved ones.
Today is the youngest day of your life.
Don't be swayed by greed; move forward with your own core values.
