土地虽甜不可尽食,机会虽多也有限。

土地虽甜不可尽食,机会虽多也有限。

Tǔdì suī tián bùkě jǐn shí, jīhuì suī duō yě yǒuxiàn.

Although the land is sweet, you can't eat it all, although the opportunities are limited.

Ancient Chinese Philosopher LAIozi

This Chinese Proverb reminds modern SEA professionals that while there may be numerous opportunities for advertising in the digital space, their resources and time are limited, and they must prioritize and strategize accordingly. Just as one cannot eat all the sweet land, it is not possible to take advantage of every opportunity for online advertising, as there are only so many resources to allocate. Therefore, it is essential to focus on the most promising opportunities and create effective and efficient SEA strategies to make the most of the resources available. A smart SEA professional knows how to identify the most lucrative opportunities and allocate resources and budget effectively to maximize their return on investment. Developing a strategy that balances opportunity and resources is necessary for success in modern online advertising, just as it was in ancient times when managing the limited resources of agriculture was essential for survival.
