Today is the 41st birthday of the great football king Cristiano Ronaldo, and also the 49th birthday of crypto industry leader CZ. It's an interesting coincidence; top figures from different industries share many similar underlying qualities.
Cristiano Ronaldo is also a signed player for Binance. In the streets and alleys of Dubai, you can often see him pointing to Binance advertisements. This level of cooperation reflects a combination of shared values and influence.
The similarities are even more pronounced in their origins and paths. Both Cristiano Ronaldo and CZ came from humble family backgrounds in their youth, without resource advantages or ready-made stepping stones. They relied entirely on long-term self-discipline, continuous effort, and extreme focus on their goals, making their way step by step. One honed himself into a historic football king on the green field, while the other built a platform into a global infrastructure in the fintech sector. Their paths are different, but their core essence is very similar.
They both share a very obvious commonality: long-termism and extremely high self-requirements. Cristiano Ronaldo, at his age, still maintains top-level training intensity. CZ, in his position, still builds every day, responds to the community, and promotes industry development. This state alone has already left most people behind.
From humble beginnings to leaders in their respective fields, this is the result of time, discipline, and choices gradually accumulating. This is also why excellent individuals often exhibit highly similar temperaments and trajectories across completely different domains.
