Doris Yin: What China’s History of Unity Teaches Us About Pi Network’s Global Vision Education Is the Foundation. Consensus Is Our Strength. — The Fair Opportunity You Seek May Be Right Before Your Eyes. 1. Lessons from Chinese History: Culture and Education Can Unite Different Peoples Throughout thousands of years of Chinese history, Chinese civilization has experienced dynastic changes, wars, division, and the integration and unification of different peoples. Although rulers and political systems changed, Chinese civilization continued and gradually developed a shared cultural identity. Several important historical examples demonstrate the role of culture, education, and common values in bringing different peoples together. The Reforms of Emperor Xiaowen of Northern Wei: The Xianbei People Embraced Han Chinese Culture The Northern Wei dynasty was established by the Xianbei people. Emperor Xiaowen introduced major reforms, moved the capital to Luoyang, encouraged the use of the Chinese language, adopted Han Chinese surnames, reformed clothing and customs, and promoted the study of Han Chinese culture and institutions among Xianbei elites. Emperor Xiaowen did not unify all of China, but his reforms promoted cultural exchange and integration in northern China and significantly influenced the development of Chinese civilization. The Yuan Dynasty: Mongol Rule and the Unification of China The Yuan dynasty was established by the Mongols. In 1279, the Yuan completed its conquest of the Southern Song and established unified rule over the principal territories of China, becoming one of the major dynasties founded by a non-Han people. The Qing Dynasty: Manchu Rule and the Continuation of Chinese Cultural Traditions The Qing dynasty was established by the Manchus. While preserving aspects of their own traditions, Qing rulers adopted many established Chinese systems of governance, emphasized Confucian classics and education, and continued traditional civil administration through institutions such as the imperial examination system. Throughout history, the Mongols, Manchus, and other ethnic groups all contributed to the development of Chinese civilization. Through periods of conflict, exchange, institutional adaptation, and cultural integration, different peoples became part of the broader historical and cultural development of China. The most important lesson is this: the continuity of a civilization or political system depends not only on military strength and institutions, but also on cultural transmission, education, and the development of shared values. Emperor Xiaowen’s reforms promoted integration in northern China, while the Yuan and Qing dynasties established unified imperial rule over China. Although their political systems and relationships among ethnic groups differed, Confucian thought, classical education, traditional governing institutions, and the lasting influence of Chinese culture all played important roles in the historical development and integration of China. This demonstrates that people from different ethnic groups and backgrounds can gradually develop a shared identity through education, communication, and common cultural understanding. Lasting unity requires more than people living on the same land. It requires people from different backgrounds to understand a shared culture, embrace common values, and move toward a common direction. Today, Pi Network’s global community needs the same kind of shared understanding, a consistent educational foundation, and a clear global vision. Pioneers from different countries, languages, and cultural backgrounds can build stronger relationships and unite their efforts through continuous education and communication. 2. Why Are More People Losing Hope for the Future? Dear European Pioneers and Pioneers around the world, Take a serious look at the world today. More and more young people graduate from universities but cannot find suitable jobs. Many spend years studying and carry the hopes of their families, only to discover that it is difficult to obtain employment and income that match their efforts. Prices continue to rise. Housing is increasingly unaffordable. Energy and living costs put growing pressure on ordinary households. Many people work hard but struggle to improve their lives. Young people study diligently yet remain uncertain about their futures. They begin to ask themselves: What was the point of studying so hard? When will I be able to afford my own home? Will I ever have a real opportunity to change my life? Behind these questions lie deep anxiety about the future and a desire for social fairness and economic opportunity. Protests in France and other European countries have raised concerns about living costs, employment prospects, public services, housing, and social fairness. People want their voices to be heard. They want better living conditions and a brighter future for the next generation. People are seeking more than higher incomes. They are seeking fair opportunities, dignity, and hope. Yet rising prices, employment pressures, unequal wealth distribution, and unequal access to opportunities are deeply rooted and complex problems. Governments can introduce policies, and businesses can create jobs, but economic structures, resource allocation, global markets, and the accumulation of wealth make these problems difficult to resolve quickly. In the traditional economic system, wealth often brings access to more resources, better education, broader networks, and more investment opportunities. Wealthy individuals can use their existing capital to generate additional returns. Ordinary people, meanwhile, may spend decades working and saving to accumulate comparatively limited assets. When the resources a person is born into can significantly influence the opportunities available throughout their life, how can we speak of a truly fair competition? This is a question we must seriously consider today. 3. Where Can We Find Fairness? Pi Network Offers an Opportunity Worth Cherishing In the real world, absolute equality is extremely difficult to achieve. People with wealth have more capital and more investment opportunities. Those with greater resources can access better education, build wider networks, and use their existing wealth to accumulate even more. Even money deposited in a bank can generate interest, allowing people with substantial capital to continue building their wealth. Meanwhile, a recent university graduate without work experience, capital, or established connections may struggle to access the same starting point and opportunities, even when they work just as hard. So where can ordinary people look for new opportunities? I want every Pioneer to think seriously about this question. Pi Network offers an opportunity worth cherishing: ordinary people do not need to be wealthy or possess special social connections to participate in a global digital ecosystem. As long as you have a mobile phone capable of running the Pi app, even an older phone, you can participate in basic mining. You do not need to purchase expensive specialized mining equipment or bear the high hardware and electricity costs associated with traditional proof-of-work mining. Basic Pi mining does not require you to pay a fee. You only need to spend approximately one second a day tapping the app to continue participating in basic mining. One phone. One second a day. Zero cost to participate in basic mining! This is one of the features that makes Pi Network particularly accessible to ordinary people. For young people without jobs or capital, families with limited incomes, and people living in countries with different economic conditions, such a low barrier to entry is meaningful. You do not need to become wealthy before you are allowed to participate. You do not need to possess social influence before you can join a global community. Participation in Pi Network does not guarantee that everyone will become wealthy. However, it offers an entry point for people to learn, participate, and contribute to building a shared ecosystem. You can start by learning, joining the community, connecting with people from other countries, and exploring potential economic cooperation. GCV education and community-building activities also do not require Pioneers to pay for participation qualifications. Our goal is to connect merchants with Pioneers, encourage Pi payments and real-world transactions, and gradually build an economic network based on mutual benefit. When an opportunity allows you to learn, build connections, and participate in something together without requiring an upfront financial investment, why not take the time to understand it? This is the opportunity I hope European Pioneers and Pioneers around the world will cherish. Do not dismiss it simply because it is free. Do not reject its potential simply because the ecosystem is still developing. The fair opportunity you have been searching for may be right before your eyes. First, understand it, explore it, and participate in building its value. 4. From Global Protests to Global Cooperation: We Need Solutions, Not Just Complaints When people face high living costs, unemployment, and wealth inequality, protests are one way to express their concerns. People have the right to voice their dissatisfaction and demand a fairer society. But what happens after the protests? If young people still cannot find jobs, if ordinary families still struggle to afford daily necessities, and if wealth and resources remain concentrated among a small segment of society, can expressing anger alone change these structural problems? We need more than dissatisfaction with the status quo. We need to explore solutions. If ordinary people can unite, merchants can cooperate, and communities across different countries can build relationships, could we create more opportunities for economic participation? If merchants are willing to accept Pi payments and Pioneers are willing to use Pi to purchase goods and services, real transactions can establish mutually beneficial relationships. Over time, this could help build an economic network in which communities actively participate. This is the direction I have consistently emphasized: Connect Pioneers with merchants. Connect communities with the real economy. Transform the scattered efforts of individuals into a collective force that creates value. We can start within our own communities by contacting merchants, encouraging transactions for goods and services, providing education, helping more people understand Pi’s potential applications, and gradually building economic cooperation networks. This is not about creating wealth through slogans. It is about exploring new economic opportunities through real participation, real transactions, and sustained cooperation. 5. Why Is Pi Network’s Global Vision Worth Cherishing? Today’s international economic system relies heavily on different national currencies, banking systems, and cross-border payment networks. Exchange-rate fluctuations, conversion fees, and settlement procedures can all affect the costs faced by businesses and consumers. For countries that import energy, rising international energy prices combined with a weakening domestic currency can increase import costs and ultimately affect businesses and ordinary households. If Pi achieves wider real-world adoption across more countries in the future, supported by a broad network of merchants, goods, and services, global participants could have more opportunities to conduct economic activities through a shared digital asset network. In appropriate use cases, direct Pi transactions and payments could reduce some traditional currency-conversion steps and provide an additional option for cross-border economic activity. This is a direction worth exploring in the global digital economy: giving more ordinary people opportunities to participate, helping merchants reach new customers and transaction channels, and enabling communities in different countries to create practical value through cooperation. Pi Network’s development requires continued technical progress, ecosystem expansion, real-world applications, and sustained participation. But we should not overlook a potential opportunity simply because the road ahead still requires work. We must not sit back and wait for the future to arrive. We must actively participate in building it. I believe that if Pioneers around the world remain committed to education, real-world applications, and mutually beneficial cooperation, they can help Pi’s ecosystem expand its economic participation. 6. European Pioneers and Pioneers Worldwide: Cherish This Opportunity Instead of Throwing It Away I particularly hope that European Pioneers and Pioneers around the world will seriously consider what I am saying. What are you searching for? You want fair opportunities. You want young people to find jobs. You want ordinary people to improve their lives. You want wealth and resources to stop being the only gateways to economic participation. Then, when a global digital ecosystem offers ordinary people an opportunity to participate, why not take the time to understand it first? Basic Pi mining does not require you to purchase Pi. GCV education and community-building do not require you to pay for participation qualifications. You can start by learning, joining the community, contacting merchants, and encouraging real transactions. We want to connect merchants and Pioneers so that both sides can create opportunities and value for one another, gradually developing economic cooperation networks within their communities. This requires time, action, and the participation of each of us. But if you refuse to understand the opportunity, abandon learning because of rumors, or attack and trample on something you have never genuinely tried to understand, how will you participate if meaningful progress emerges in the future? Do not complain that the world lacks fairness while casually throwing away an opportunity you can help build. Do not feel lost about the future while refusing to learn something new. Do not hope to change economic conditions while refusing to take any action. What you are searching for is not simply a project that might make money. You are searching for the possibility of participating in future economic development, creating opportunities for cooperation, and improving your life. Pi Network does not promise identical outcomes for everyone. But it offers ordinary people around the world a starting point for shared participation, learning, and ecosystem development. Cherish that starting point. 7. Education Is the Foundation. Consensus Is Our Strength. A global ecosystem cannot be built by a small group of developers or by the community of just one country. It requires the participation of Pioneers around the world. We need more users, more merchants, more real transactions, and continued progress in education, technology, and ecosystem development. Education is not an optional extra. It is the foundation of a global ecosystem. If Pioneers do not understand the project’s vision, it is difficult to develop lasting confidence. If merchants do not understand how the ecosystem works, they are less likely to participate. If communities in different countries lack a shared understanding, global cooperation becomes much harder. We must therefore continue global education so that Pioneers in every country and region can understand Pi Network’s direction, technical foundations, potential applications, and the importance of ecosystem development. Education should help Pioneers shift their attention from price alone to real-world applications, from passive waiting to active participation, and from working in isolation to global cooperation. We must help more people understand that ecosystem development is not the responsibility of a few individuals. It is a shared mission that requires the contribution of the entire community. Education builds consensus. Consensus drives action. Action builds the ecosystem. This is the direction that Pioneers around the world should work together to pursue. Conclusion: The Opportunity You Seek May Be Right Before Your Eyes People around the world are searching for new hope. Young people want a future. Ordinary families want to improve their lives. Merchants want to expand their markets. Communities in different countries want more opportunities for development. Against this background, we should seriously consider the opportunities for global participation offered by Pi Network and the digital economic ecosystem it is seeking to build. I hope European Pioneers and Pioneers around the world will cherish this opportunity, learn actively, promote education, connect merchants, participate in real transactions, and work with the global community to build the ecosystem. Do not give up too easily. Do not attack blindly. And do not wait until years later to realize that you once had the opportunity to participate in building a global economic ecosystem but walked away because you never took the time to understand it. Fair opportunities do not automatically become reality. Only when we are willing to learn, participate, cooperate, and build can opportunities have a chance to become results. Let us cross the boundaries of countries, languages, and cultures. Let us build consensus through education, advance the ecosystem through action, and explore a more inclusive digital economic future through global cooperation. Global consensus does not emerge from waiting. It is built through education, participation, and action. — Doris Yin

Doris Yin Wisdom Talk #21 Compassion Can Cause Harm; Excessive Accommodation Can Lead to Misconduct Compassion Requires Wisdom. Tolerance Requires Boundaries. Justice Requires Courage. Dear Pioneers, There is an ancient Chinese saying: “Compassion can cause harm, and excessive accommodation can lead to misconduct.” This saying does not mean that we should abandon compassion or stop helping others. Rather, it reminds us that compassion without wisdom, and tolerance without principles, can allow kindness to be exploited and turn goodwill into a tool for enabling wrongdoing. True compassion is not about accommodating everyone unconditionally. It means distinguishing right from wrong, recognizing good and evil, and protecting ourselves and others while helping those in need. 1. Kindness Must Have Boundaries In everyday life, we often encounter situations like these. Someone asks to borrow money and tells a heartbreaking story. Out of sympathy, you lend them your savings, only to find yourself struggling financially while the borrower may spend the money gambling or engaging in other irresponsible activities. Someone else promises high interest rates and paints an attractive picture of investment returns. You become excited by the opportunity, lower your guard, and eventually lose money instead of making a profit. Why does this happen? Sometimes, our sympathy is exploited, and our expectations of attractive promises overpower our rational judgment. Before helping others, understand the facts. Before trusting someone, verify the information. Never lose your judgment out of sympathy. Never trust promises blindly out of greed. And never abandon your principles simply because you are afraid of offending someone. True kindness means having the ability to help others and the wisdom to protect yourself. 2. Communities Must Uphold Principles and Protect Pioneers This principle is especially important within our communities. Some individuals may use their status, authority, reputation, influence, or large following to gain Pioneers’ trust. They may then solicit money, encourage investments, or promote projects that have not been properly verified. Some Pioneers assume that a person must be trustworthy simply because they hold a senior title, have many followers, or speak with authority. We must remain clear-minded: A title does not prove character. Reputation does not guarantee integrity. A large following does not make someone’s actions automatically right. We should judge people not merely by what they say, how much authority they hold, or how many people follow them, but by their actual conduct, financial transparency, supporting evidence for their promises, and willingness to accept oversight. If someone asks you to pay money, invest, purchase so-called qualification cards, or promises unusually high returns, verify the project’s legitimacy, the use of funds, the relevant authorization, and the potential risks first. Do not abandon your independent judgment because the person is a leader, an official, an acquaintance, or someone you do not want to offend. Communities also have a responsibility to warn Pioneers about potential risks, teach them how to recognize scams, and investigate and address concerns promptly. Appropriate action should be taken when evidence supports a violation. Suspected criminal conduct should be reported to the relevant authorities. A responsible community does not teach Pioneers to trust someone blindly. It teaches them to think independently. It does not wait until people have lost their money before taking action. It raises warnings early and works to protect every Pioneer’s financial security. Defending Justice Requires Courage There is another important issue we must confront. Some people see a problem but remain silent because they fear offending others, being attacked, or being accused of lacking compassion. They may notice someone abusing community influence or authority for personal gain but hesitate to warn others. They may see someone treated unfairly but refuse to speak up. If everyone is afraid of offending someone, who will protect those who have been harmed? If everyone remains silent to preserve superficial harmony, how can wrongdoing ever be corrected? Defending justice requires wisdom, but it also requires courage. Of course, we must never accuse people recklessly or attack others out of personal resentment. We must respect the facts, verify evidence, and handle concerns fairly. However, when the facts are clear and the evidence is sufficient, we must not abandon our responsibilities simply because we fear pressure or criticism. If someone tells you that you are not compassionate or tolerant enough, learn to distinguish genuine compassion from the use of compassion as an excuse to tolerate wrongdoing. If so-called tolerance allows a few individuals to repeatedly harm others, and if so-called compassion results in more innocent people suffering, then that tolerance has lost its true meaning. True compassion protects good people, prevents harm, and safeguards the legitimate interests of the majority. True tolerance has boundaries. True justice requires courage. 3. Governments Must Uphold the Law and Protect Society The same principle applies to an entire nation. There have been reports of vandalism, looting, and violent unrest in France and other European countries. Specific claims about the number of countries involved should be verified through reliable reporting. But one principle is clear: wherever such incidents occur, violent assaults, robbery, property destruction, and other criminal acts must be addressed according to law. If a country repeatedly tolerates violence and crime and fails to enforce its laws effectively, misconduct may go unchecked and social order can suffer serious consequences. Ordinary people may become afraid to leave their homes. Businesses may be unable to operate normally. Families may face threats to their safety and property. Over time, public confidence and trust throughout society can deteriorate. Governments therefore have a responsibility to exercise public authority lawfully, uphold the rule of law, and protect the lives, property, and legitimate rights of ordinary citizens. No one should believe that having a large crowd or creating a public disturbance gives them the right to place themselves above the law. Criminal conduct must be investigated, addressed, and prosecuted in accordance with the law. Law enforcement must be effective and fair, respect people's lawful rights, and firmly protect innocent people from violence. We must understand this: Punishing crime according to law is not a lack of compassion. Protecting law-abiding citizens is a fundamental responsibility to society. If a society emphasizes tolerance while neglecting victims’ rights, or focuses on the feelings of those who break the law while failing to protect the safety of law-abiding people, such so-called tolerance becomes a form of injustice. The law must have authority, and rules must be enforced. Only then can people live in peace, businesses operate with confidence, and society develop in a stable and orderly manner. 4. Compassion Must Walk Hand in Hand with Wisdom What is true wisdom? Wisdom means seeing the nature of a situation, discerning people's intentions, distinguishing right from wrong, and understanding the possible consequences of our actions. We should help those who genuinely need help, but we must not allow people with ulterior motives to exploit our kindness. We should give people who are willing to correct their mistakes an opportunity, but we must not endlessly tolerate repeated behavior that harms others. That is why I often remind everyone: Do not listen only to what you want to hear. An ancient Chinese saying teaches us: “Honest advice may be unpleasant to hear, but it helps us act wisely. Bitter medicine may taste unpleasant, but it helps cure illness.” Advice that genuinely benefits us may sometimes be uncomfortable. Facts we need to face may not always be what we want to hear. By contrast, sweet talk can make us feel good, and attractive promises can fill us with hope. But neither can replace facts and evidence. We must stay clear-minded, learn to think independently, avoid blindly worshipping authority, refuse to believe unverified information, and never abandon our judgment simply because we fear criticism. Wisdom prevents compassion from being exploited. Principles prevent kindness from being trampled. Courage prevents justice from being silenced. These are the abilities we must cultivate. Conclusion: Kindness Needs Principles, Compassion Needs Wisdom, and Justice Needs Courage Dear Pioneers, Whether in personal life, human relationships, community building, or national governance, we must understand one fundamental truth: Compassion does not mean accommodating everyone unconditionally. Tolerance does not mean having no boundaries. Kindness does not mean turning a blind eye to wrongdoing. We must help those who deserve help and remain alert to those who exploit the goodwill of others. We must protect every Pioneer in our community, especially their financial security. When we encounter injustice, we must have the courage to speak up. When crimes occur, we must insist on accountability under the law. Do not abandon your principles because you fear offending someone. Do not remain silent about justice because you fear being attacked. And never sacrifice the interests of the majority merely to preserve superficial harmony. Please remember: Compassion without wisdom can enable harm. Tolerance without principles can encourage wrongdoing. Justice without courage can become silence. We should be compassionate, but never blindly compassionate. We should be tolerant, but never tolerate wrongdoing without boundaries. We should be kind, but always uphold our principles. And if we are to defend justice, we must have the courage to speak the truth and protect innocent people. True compassion uses wisdom to distinguish right from wrong, principles to safeguard fairness, courage to resist injustice, and action to protect good people. Let us cultivate compassion and wisdom together, uphold our principles and boundaries, and courageously defend justice. Let us build healthier communities, a fairer society, and an environment where every ordinary person can live safely and peacefully. This is true compassion. This is true wisdom. And this is the justice we must stand together to uphold. Doris Yin

Doris Yin Wisdom Talk #20 Plan Ahead and Cherish the Opportunity Pi Offers Dear Pioneers, I want to remind everyone that many pioneers today no longer seem to care whether they have Pi or not. They do not cherish the opportunity. Some listen to what others say, become discouraged, stop learning, and lose their motivation. When encouraged to study, they refuse to do so. Without understanding, how can they build confidence? Without confidence, how can they persevere? Many have stopped mining or even sold all their Pi. Wealth requires knowledge, wisdom, and blessings to recognize, appreciate, and seize opportunities. Look at the world today. Many countries face serious economic challenges. Prices continue to rise, currencies lose purchasing power, young people cannot afford homes, and many people worry about their future pensions. Governments face budget deficits, and neither raising nor lowering interest rates can easily solve these deep-rooted problems. France has experienced social unrest, and many other European countries and regions around the world face similar economic pressures. Have you thought about your future? Have you prepared for it? Complaining and protesting alone cannot solve these problems. It is not necessarily that governments do not want to solve them; many challenges are extremely difficult to overcome. A truly wise person plans ahead and actively seeks opportunities instead of waiting until problems arise. Pi offers us an opportunity to participate in building a digital economy. The development of GCV requires our collective efforts. We need to learn, persevere, build merchant partnerships, and promote real-world applications. Only through our participation can the ecosystem continue to grow and create more economic opportunities for the future. Pi will not succeed simply because we wait. It requires each of us to make an effort. If everyone becomes complacent, refuses to learn, and stops participating, then seven years of time and effort may have been wasted. If, after seven years, we have made no serious effort to prepare for our future, we will still have to face rising living costs and retirement challenges. Please do not take this opportunity lightly. Learn seriously, think independently, and develop your own understanding. Do not give up simply because of what someone else says. Cherishing an opportunity means taking responsibility for your future. Working together gives us a chance to build a better one. I hope everyone will work together and actively contribute to the Pi ecosystem. Do not wait until an opportunity is gone before regretting it. Do not wait until old age to realize that you never seriously prepared for your future. — Doris Yin

Doris Yin Wisdom Talk #18 The Danger of Blind Personal Worship Blind personal worship is extremely dangerous! I am very glad to see that at least two pioneers have finally begun to think for themselves. True awakening does not mean blindly believing in someone. It means learning to think independently, distinguish right from wrong, and make sound judgments. Why do some people desperately try to attract traffic and gain followers? Because attention can become a tool for manipulating others. They tell you exactly what you want to hear and show you what you want to see. Gradually, they make you addicted to their content and dependent on them. Once you lose your ability to think independently, it becomes much easier for them to deceive you and lead you by the nose. This is how scammers operate: they exploit your preferences, feed you what you want to hear, and gradually manipulate your thinking until you become easy to control. That is why I am genuinely happy to see a few pioneers finally starting to use their brains. It means they are waking up, learning to evaluate situations independently instead of blindly worshipping another person. Remember: Truly wise people never surrender their judgment to anyone else. Think independently, distinguish right from wrong, and never allow anyone to control your mind! — Doris Yin

Doris Yin Wisdom Talk #14 Without a Nation, Where Is Our Home? Without a Home, Where Do We Belong? Love Our Countries. Protect Our Families. Preserve Peace. Build a Better Future! Dear Pi Network and GCV Community Pioneers, Without a nation, where is our home? Without a home, what future can we give our children? And without peace, how can our families live in safety, dignity, and hope? Our country is our shared home. Our families are our roots, and peace is the foundation of our future. No matter which country we come from, we all have a responsibility to protect our communities, safeguard our families, and preserve social stability. Recently, demonstrations in various countries and regions have escalated into riots, with incidents of looting, vandalism, destruction of public property, and threats to the safety of innocent people. We must make one distinction absolutely clear: peaceful protest is a civic right, but violence and destruction must never be justified in its name. When demonstrations turn into riots, businesses suffer, workers may lose their jobs, historical and cultural treasures can be damaged, and public resources must be diverted to repairs and recovery. Ultimately, ordinary people and taxpayers often bear the cost. Life is already difficult for many people. Why make it even harder? Many countries are struggling with economic challenges, rising living costs, and wealth inequality. No matter who takes office, these complex problems are difficult to solve overnight. People are frustrated by the gap between the rich and the poor, but will destruction make their lives better? Instead of allowing anger to lead to destruction, why don't we take the time to learn about Pi Network, support its vision, and work together to build a new economic ecosystem? Pi Network offers people around the world a new economic opportunity. Regardless of whether we are rich or poor, we can participate, learn, support ecosystem development, and work together to create value. Through cooperation between merchants and consumers, we can help expand economic participation and pursue more equal opportunities. Instead of destroying, let us build. Instead of creating division, let us cooperate. Instead of simply expressing anger, let us work toward practical solutions. From the Buddhist perspective of cause and effect, we should also be mindful of our actions. We must not allow temporary anger to lead us to harm others, destroy property, or bring suffering to innocent families. I sincerely call upon all Pi Network and GCV Community Pioneers: Do not participate in violence or destruction. Do not encourage actions that harm the common interests of society. Let us pray for world peace, spread Pi Network and GCV education, support merchants, and devote our energy to building an ecosystem that creates opportunities for people around the world. Without a nation, where is our home? Without a home, where are we? Let us begin with love for our countries and families. Let us protect public property, cherish peace, and safeguard the future of the next generation. Together, we can replace destruction with construction, division with cooperation, and anger with hope. LOVE OUR COUNTRIES. PROTECT OUR FAMILIES. PRESERVE PEACE. REJECT VIOLENCE. BUILD TOGETHER! Doris Yin

Doris Yin’s Wisdom Talk #16 Compassion and Wisdom Must Go Hand in Hand: Be Forgiving, but Stand Firm on Principles We should show compassion toward kind-hearted people and give those who sincerely acknowledge their mistakes an opportunity to improve. However, we must remember one important principle: Being tolerant of our enemies can ultimately mean being cruel to our own people. If someone attacks me personally, I can choose not to take it to heart. I can simply block that person. There is no need to argue or waste my time. However, if someone spreads rumors, defames us, undermines Pioneers’ trust, or deliberately sabotages GCV and Pioneer Work, we must never tolerate such behavior! Personal grievances can be set aside, but deliberate harm to the community must never be tolerated. We do not need to fight with these individuals or engage in endless arguments. However, we must make the facts clear, explain why their actions are wrong and how they harm the community, and help Pioneers recognize the truth rather than be misled. If group administrators verify that someone is deliberately sabotaging the community, they must take immediate action and remove that person from the group. Why did I establish regional Pioneer groups for Arab communities, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Africa, and other regions? Because we can no longer remain a scattered force! I want to bring our collective strength together so that Pioneers share a common goal and direction and work toward the same objectives. If every group operates independently, if some administrators do not understand GCV, and if others deliberately spread rumors, mislead Pioneers, and attack us, our community cannot unite. We cannot effectively lead Pioneers in the right direction, and we cannot achieve the results we seek. If we want to achieve financial freedom, community unity is essential! Only when our goals, direction, and actions are aligned can we build genuine unity, accelerate GCV education, develop the ecosystem, expand real-world utility, and create more opportunities for Pioneers to achieve financial freedom. Remember: If someone attacks me personally, I can let it go. If someone deliberately harms our community, I will not tolerate it. We must show compassion toward good-hearted people and firmly oppose actions that damage our collective interests. Compassion and wisdom must go hand in hand. Forgiveness must have principles, and unity must have direction. This is what every community leader must understand. — Doris Yin
