Inscription: Reading a book can experience someone else's life once.
Recently, I was chatting with a friend and was asked a question, is there anything I've been sticking to? After thinking about it for myself, there may really be one thing that I stick to, and that is reading and writing***
In fact, at first, it was a process of recording learning, but now it seems to have developed a habit that if you don't have time to write each week, there seems to be a voice in your brain that reminds you that you didn't do what you should have done this week. The first books I read were all about finance and finance, from "Warren Buffett's Letter to Shareholders" to Howard Marks's "The Most Important Things to Invest" and "Cycles", to Mr. Qiu Guolu's "The Easiest Things to Invest", these are all books about the field of value investing.
To be honest, reading books like investment, I do hope to be able to get investment returns, but with the increase of time and reading content, investment is a difficult thing, and it requires even more effort than your own job to do, not to mention that everyone says, you can easily make a lot of money. I also understand that investment must be idle money, otherwise it is not value investment.
When I was talking to my friend about this, my good friend told me: ".Generally speaking, the more you know, the more you feel that you won't be, so the goal is the goal, the process is also very important, and it's good to enjoy it.
Seeing this paragraph, I still have a lot of feelings in my heart, and I think about it, if you can invest successfully just by reading a few books, then these books must be the most expensive books in the world, so I slowly turned to philosophy and other fields, such as Doudou's trilogy "Betrayal", "Distant Savior" and "Tianmu Red Dust" to Jiaojian's "Heavenly Bureau", and then to psychology books, such as "The Courage to Be Hated" and so on. Now I don't dare to say that I have developed a habit of reading, but in fact, I try to give myself a dedicated time every week to read the content I want to read. Persevering until now, perhaps the biggest benefit of reading is inner peace. If you have peace of mind, you don't need to pay attention to anything else, that is, you can do your best self.
In fact, investment itself is an extremely professional thing, entering** (I really don't recommend ordinary people to enter**) earning investment income is something everyone wants to do, but the process is something that everyone needs to bear. When market pessimism comes, it is also difficult to withstand the sharp fluctuations in the market. How to maintain inner concentration in an extreme market environment, in this regard, John Maynard Keynes, the father of macroeconomics of British economists, has the following statement: "I am not ashamed to hold ** when the **bottom comes**, I don't regard it as a job, I take on much less responsibility, and I am not like any other investor who has been thinking about whether he should cut ** and escape from the **market, or feel ashamed because of the depreciation of his holdings." You know, for a serious investor, it is his responsibility to accept the depreciation of shares with a stable attitude and a mood that does not blame himself. ”
The current market may be a time when the mood is extremely pessimistic, and may you have the courage to be greedier than others at this time. As the guru John Templeton said, "the more you give, the more you get.""Having a grateful heart can stop a lifetime of fear. Those who are patient will be victorious.
May everyone have a better harvest in 2024!
