What a fantastic weekend, feels like get to know a few good friends is harder than digging for a gemstone.
Thanks so much for the wonderful reading! As usual, we share and entrust. My plain articles are not for the pHD investor. More so, as I am an unpaid and amateur. And I've repeatedly put forward there will be no tips and definitely no fast track to riches. Why? Because I am lazy and I don't like to.
Stocks pick talk? There should be plenty of them around. Undervalue gem? Not that I know of, anyway. You want to berate me about money now? I am not sure how many tropes in my bank. I am too lazy to find out about that at present.
Learn the fundamentals and methodology to invest? Do you really have to do it yourself? I am lazy to recognize all that after spending half of my life working on it a step by step.
I just need to know and focus on my own personal "work" every second, every minute, every hour and every day.
There's a contradiction of success that I don't often speak about.
The seeming conundrum of being lazy and being a high achiever at the same time. I often feel I am the laziest workaholic that ever existed. But it's not about sitting around the TVs, eating snacks and getting fat.
On the other hand, I am also not a workaholic putting in 16 hours of days at the office smhmoozing with the top brass.
I always work and I never worked at the same time. My work and my life are so intertwined that I don't actually do any work because I'm always working.
Contradiction? That's the seeming contradiction, I told you about.
I work every day, every hour, every minute and every second. It's simply my life. I "can't" not live my life. I " can't " not work. I couldn't claim a day off, even if I wanted to. Every second I am alive is another second I am working.
But again, my work model is the simplest working model. I inhabit my life, then I put my life into words. Words will be place into action. Every action of mine, works for me, they serve a purpose. If it doesn't serve a purpose, I I don't work on it.
That's all I do and I do it constantly. Altogether what I'm doing is living my life. If I stopped going, I'd stopped being me. I never get to work because I'm always at work.
Work is the only thing that's in essence for a man's soul. But not just work--work that fires you up, work that drives you to accomplish more.
I told you I'm lazy, but I'm not lazy in the slenderest. I simply don't do things that I don't like to do.
A perfectly reasonable reaction to do something you don't want to do is malaise.
A perfectly reasonable reaction to do something you like to do is joy.
Sitting in the office working for someone else will make you lazy and pay you no benefit. Working for yourself the work you like will make you richer and bring you joy. So be lazy to work for someone else and don't be lazy to work for yourself.
Working for yourself builds your bank account, it builds your character, it ramps up your confidence and endurance and it builds your mindset. When you succeed, you feel euphoric, no actual work required.
When you are so obsessed with your work, it's stop being work and it becomes something else entirely. That's when you are on the lazy man's route to wealth.
And once you are on, you can never get off. You will reach a point where there are no difference between your life and your business. You will find everything you want or have ever wanted.
Begin by just taking one step in the right direction. When you get a change in your thought process, everything else follows. Success, money, freedom and women. All of it and more. It occurs to you when you believe you'll get it.
But there's another contradiction of success -- you have to manage more than just believe, you have to take steps to achieve your goals. Believe without action is useless. Action without believe also useless.
Doing all the hard work of building your business is as easy as anything you do in your day. It's equally hard as jumping off the cliff or as easy as taking one step in the right direction.
If you plan for success you will generate success. It's not acting if you're proceeding over your plan, it's just fulfilling your destiny. The dummies will call you lucky, they will tell you know nothing, but they don't understand that it's not luck if you work every day towards your goal and then achieve that goal.
You'll explain that and they still don't read. They'll say, " I wish I will be that lucky. I wish I could catch my big break."
" You should answer this". " You must ascertain that." Is that so? Of course you have to prove it. But what is there to prove to those who doesn't experience what is success all about?
That's another conundrum of success. You "work" towards a goal, when you make it, you're lucky. Is that so complicated?
That's what everyone wants to know but first of all:
It's the improper question to ask. If you're not ready, too tough. If you tasted it, you've taken off already! You started when you're old/mature enough to form your thoughts. Would you trust, most people walk away from what they want instead of walking towards it?
They will think it's a giant leap and they don't believe they can make the leap.
It's really not too much of a leap. It's merely one step in the correct direction. Then go one step further. And hence one more. It's exactly one step like all the thousands of other steps you take in a single day.
Then why some people don't take steps every day?
Because they're awaiting for a step by step formula when all they need is just " one step formula." There are no blueprint formula to success that everyone on earth can follow but there are habits of success.
There are steps. Steps in the right direction.
No short cuts. No free lunches.
All it takes is one step in the correct direction. What could be lazier or easier?
P/s: You ever seen highly successful/knowledgeable gentlemen keep wasting their precious time criticizing people they've never met? I've never met any yet. Do you agree with me?
What would you happily do to savor your success? I believe only the successful will really master it. Agree?
You judge for yourself just why. I am too lazy to care about it.

Agree, and you sound so much like me today.
