I am in a industry where randomness is very frequent. 

It is very unfortunate that my new boss is the shouting type. 

Yesterday, I and my colleague went into a meeting with the new boss. From the start of the meeting, we get shouted already. 

It was very disturbing and I am not sure if it is adding value to the team with that. 

Money is not easy to make. 

My baseline is if I couldn't sleep and eat at night thats it.

Success journal 1090: a night with my kids

Sometimes, doing nothing is better than doing the wrong thing 

Learn from action and decide where and when to not do anything. 

This principle applies to life and investing. 

I sold SATS at $3.9 because I felt they were overvalued. Now, it has dropped back to $3.4. grateful that I decided to sell all my positions in SATS. 

I am grateful that I can manage a 6-digit fund and have the balls to invest in 6 6-digit funds in a volatile market. Including crypto lol. Focusing on growing 

I spent some time chit-chatting with Big J, my eldest son, yesterday in Thomson playground; I brought them out so they could spend some time with me and also, at the same time, to relax a bit with them. I didn't have many opportunities to spend time with my kids like that. We talked about how I grew up, what he learned in school, etc. 

He has grown quite a bit and scored full marks for his 听写 yesterday; proud, Dad. FULL MARKS FOR HIS CHINESE. PROUD DAD LOL. 

We also get to pet syder dog in Thomson playground, which looks like a mixed breed of husky. 

We then went to cold storage to get some stuff, and JJ played on the train. 

I promised Jayden ice cream, so I redeemed one free sundae from McDonalds. 

After our ice cream, we went home, and Big J played the piano for 10 minutes while I made milk for JJ to sleep. I tucked JJ into sleep with a short story. He is adorable. 

I am grateful for moments like this and will cherish them ❤️

There are so many things to catch up every day. 

Jenny shared about anti-cancer stuff she picked up from a Grab driver. 

Success Journal 1088:Time in the market

It is important to stay invested in the market 

- I made 30% profit after holding sats through. Same for geo-energy resources. 

With the headlines, it doesn't seem so well, and Trump is rocking the boat. It seems like he is squeezing more from his partners to save his own country. He is using tariffs against other country to get what he wants. 

He is thinking of getting more money from the out the market. 

We also have fiat money, there are countries printing money and exporting their inflation. 

Remember what is finite is always more valuable than infinite matters because it is something that
