In this episode of Round Table, Heyang, Steve, and Fei Fei discuss the concept of "cutting your losses," which originates from the financial world, and how it applies to everyday life situations like relationships and careers. They explore the difficulties in applying this concept due to human emotions, the importance of defining non-negotiable bottom lines based on personal values, and the potential for misuse when effort is lacking or when short-term discomfort is mistaken for long-term pain. The hosts also touch upon the significance of self-awareness, long-term vision, and the understanding that life isn't always about optimizing returns. In the "Heart to Heart" segment, they respond to a listener's email about cycling infrastructure in China, recommending cities like Xiamen and routes like the Grand Canal bike route.
