Good morning everyone!! 🌞
Here is a small thread on a beautiful #allegory based upon the Chinese Bamboo .

An allegory that teaches us #patience,#persistence,#hope,#habits, #Growth & Life in general.

#TheChineseBamboo
The seeds require to be nurtured with love and care for no less than 5 years without showing any results. The first 4 years solely consist of nurturing & tending with NO SIGNS OF GROWTH. But the farmer goes about his job out of habit .+

3/6
In the 5 th yr all of a sudden it begins its exponential growth & shoots to over 90ft in just 6 weeks.
Miraculous , ain't it? 🙂
The farmer tends without knowing the outcome every single day with the same amount of love & concern .He never gives up. He keeps his habit.

4/6
Lessons learnt
1) Fundamentals matter. Our survival & success depend on the depth of our roots .
2) One must persevere no matter what. Persistence pays off.
3)Habit or Hope?
I would say both .We need to have faith in ourselves & keep putting in our reps. #Iterations matter +

5/6
Let us plant our #dream & do all that is required for it to become a reality whilst we hope and hone our habits.

The Courage To Be Disliked is an extremely logic oriented look at happiness and life.

Snippets of it may sound patronising at times but it leaves you with more questions than answers - It forces you to think!🙂

Some takeaways via a 🧵..

The world in itself is simple. Life in itself is simple.

It is WE who make it complicated.

How ?
By Comparison.

We all live in a subjective world that we OURSELVES have given meaning to from OUR perspective.

So how can then they be the same for all ? 🙂

3/28
Ever observed how the world seems beautiful at times , sometimes mean & selfish , at times helpful ?

So does the world actually keep changing or does our subjective world change due to the change in our projections ? 🤔

Something worth reflecting upon !

Not everyone who has faced trauma / calamity as a child grows up to become a bad person.

We determine our own lives as per the meaning we give those past experiences.

WE decide HOW we live - In constant conflict or at peace.

How have you decided to live your life? 🤔

5/28
What differentiates us humans from machines is primarily the fact that we possess Emotions.

Each emotion is merely a tool .
It can be used effectively or in a detrimental way.

But then again , what is effective and what is detrimental is all subjective ,ain't it ? 🙂

I first read this book in 2009 after losing 80% of my monies on Penny stocks as a student when the 2008 drawdown happened.

Thought it was too simple !

Now in 2021, I think this is one of the best books to absorb & implement.

Investing means different things to different people - Be it health/ career/external assets with an intent to reap benefits in future.

So then is everyone an Investor ?
No.
When people do different things with even same investment products we give it a different name.
👇

Investing is a PERSONAL Plan .
It's NOT a product . NOT a procedure.

One needs to have a clear picture of one's financials BEFORE making an investment plan.

Investment products comprise of items with distinct characteristics DESIGNED to satisfy a particular need.

Nothing is permanent except CHANGE.
Same applies for market cycles.
Different Asset Classes help us in that.

By smart movement one can increase the velocity of one's money.

It is NOT about timing the markets.
It's ABOUT the trends in an asset class.

Few pointers
👇

Many folks acquire Speculative habits mistakenly thinking they are Investing. ☠️

L.T Investing is central for optimum returns.
Markets will be volatile.
But in long run shall only go ⬆️

MY TAKEAWAYS FROM ATOMIC HABITS by @JamesClear

A spectacular book that focuses on building HABITS following SYSTEMS to achieve RESULTS - Instead of the traditional GOAL BASED approach.

It's a highly engaging read with plenty of practical examples .

#BookRecommendation

2/20
Your OUTCOMES are a lagging measure of your HABITS . Although difficult to appreciate on a daily basis , they MATTER IMMENSELY.
Change your habit ,to change the outcome.

It doesn't matter WHERE you are currently,
CHANGE YOUR HABIT TO CHANGE THE TRAJECTORY OF YOUR LIFE!👇

3/20
You do not RISE to the level of your GOALS .You FALL to the level of your SYSTEMS .

Why so ?

Both WINNERS & LOSERS have a Goal . What then sets them apart ?

It's having a SYSTEM in place.
Systems are forever & they result in continuous SELF IMPROVEMENT .

4/20
Reaching a goal may give rise to emptiness or targetting another goal.
But that isn't the case for systems.

Hence GOALS - OVER RATED SYSTEMS - UNDER RATED

2 small examples on my system based approach for self improvement.

Your identity emerges out of your habits. Every action is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.

Despite knowing better we find that
changing our habits is challenging because :
1) We try to change the wrong thing
2) We try to change our habits in the wrong way.

#LetsTalkMoney by @monikahalan is all about US understanding OUR Needs & Wants, & constructing OUR Money Box.

It helps BUILD a system in place , rather than focusing on a (non existent ) single shot solution.

MUST READ FOR ALL !

#BookRecommendation

A 🧵 on it .
👇

Firstly, build your own system to manage Cash Inflows & Outflows .
Find a way that's least troublesome but automatically separates the 2.

#Budgeting & #Allocation must not be a cumbersome task !

Easy bifurcation helps in Better mapping.

A bird's eye view on the same 👇

Moving onto Emergencies . This pandemic has made so many of us realise the importance of it .

Another interesting facet :
Unwillingness to take risks comes from the FEAR of not having money when needed - typically why Bank F.Ds are preferred.

Hence the EMERGENCY fund.

4/15
*It shall DIFFER from person to person.
*Understand HOW to go about it & BUILD up your fund.
*It takes 2-3 months time to figure out our expenses & 6 months - 1year atleast to build up this fund.
*So be patient ! 🤷
Don't jump the gun .

Moving onto #HealthInsurance .

It takes just one Hospital visit to realise the importance of a comprehensive Health cover . 🙄🤷

Sharing a few points that must not be missed prior to taking a policy .

The book explains EVERY POINT in DETAIL along with examples.
