  • Knowledge based improvement

    What podcasts are you listening to?

    I mean there are a lot of improvement based podcasts. But any podcasts that provide value to myself, get a listen to. Even when I listen to them ads popup so, I sometimes just let the ad sit in the background so the podcaster can make some extra buck.

    As for the podcast I listen to is mostly about finance but a mix of economy, self improvement like details of how to find purpose in this world and keeping up with the modern society podcast based.

    Listening to podcasts helps me portray the society in a different light and helps me get my head out of the sand and think more rationally in a business sense. It also helps to listen to some environment green theme podcasts as it helps to understand the broader view of society of what I am trying to achieve in mental health.

    With not as much resources doesn’t include money but mostly manpower for my purpose, because my business model is a bit complicated. It is mostly making everyone work together. While I do have some form of manpower, it would be nice to have something behind me in what I want to achieve but maybe I could leave that until my future me.

  • Economy crashes

    What historical event fascinates you the most?

    I am always fascinated by what causes the economy to crash. When there is a crash there is always fear and panic which everyone tends to overreact. I guess it is understandable to overreact because we tend to fear for our lives but we are all going to die anyways so might as well live our best lives as minimally harmful as possible to gain some experiences.

    Also when there are crashes there are always new opportunities within the circle like new businesses popping up or just taking advantage of the crash like in the market.

    But what we should do is support one another so the economy stabilises.

  • Getting a hobby

    When life gives you apples, like a job that kills our soul sometimes we have to push through especially when we are young. When we are young like in our 20s, we are getting to know the community around us in real life so that is why we should get a hobby that does not break the bank.

    We do not have as many responsibilities but we should get something that we like and looks good and it appreciates in value overtime. Maybe we should not be as money hungry but to learn what is around us as to make it easier for us as we age.

    Right now at 31, I am feeling the amount of energy I have and I do not feel as invincible like I was in my 20s.

  • Create wealth for fun

    We see a lot of people fear selling or fear buying products off a retail shelf all because they want to make money or fear of missing out. I guess it is understandable but sometimes it destroys us because the world or society is still going to continue on without the human destruction which I think is mostly psychological fear.

    If we do have some money to throw around when we are of older age then I guess it is a way to support businesses which they are profiting off your fear. But we do need to look after ourselves too, through allocating an amount to an investment.

    In that process we should have fun in the process such as having a hobby like collecting things that give you a sense of purpose or just something to look at after a hard day’s work.

    When we are young like in our 20s or 30s we should allocate some money into investments while still having fun in the moment because there is no point of going frugal until older age because the world changes everyday whether you like it or not, well… Not as subtle with the age of the internet.

  • Learning to let go

    What are you most proud of in your life?

    What I mean by letting go is not putting my eggs in one basket. Of course there are some products that do have emotional value which I collect for fun that I make sure to not break the bank or make me starve.

    When we do not have as much exposure we tend to stick with a thing which tends to go downhill usually. I had to do some reflecting to not rely on one thing to make me happy.

    I talk about this in my previous blogs where one reliability is temporary but mostly relying on more exposure to create more happiness.

    Happiness can come in the form of wealth, emotional and spirituality. I guess when it comes to the 3, patience is the way to go.

    Similar to photography, we should be exposed and open minded to a variety of things

  • Fads

    What I mean by Fads are the unpredictability of products or hype. Just like Fads, it is similar to being your own boss because when you are your own boss, there are unpredictable customers or cash flow.

    This makes life interesting in a way as you do not know when money is coming or you meet different customers at different times.

    This can come in when you are opening products when you do not know if a high value is inside or not because you do not know if there is a rare thing inside. This may be a temporary boost to depression to happiness at a cheaper cost.

    Like opening packs, never know if there is a rare inside to make you wealthier!

  • Giving

    When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?

    I do think success is taken out of context as it is mostly about money and looks that is portrayed in the media.

    But of course money does make you successful but it is mostly about solving a problem in society most of the time. I mean success in my definition is the ability to leverage your time.

    We can only work for so many hours as there are 24 hours in a day so mostly time as you get older is more precious than money. Of course when we are young we are still finding ourselves in the world but we have to stop and reflect on how we can use the time more efficiently.

    Success should be a definition where you can fight for another day because society will not stop for you.

    Having fun while fighting

  • Working and thinking

    What is your favorite hobby or pastime?

    Somehow when I work, I usually like to do my own thing while getting paid but as long as you can eat, have a place to stay it is all good.

    When you are in a stable environment mentally and physically it is easier to think how to make money or to solve a problem which money comes with it as a reward.

    But my hobby is usually just collecting cards or rare coins which I also usually just use my spare money to support other businesses and people so others can have spending money to do what they like with it.

    It is like, the more able bodied people in our society, the more that the community around us will thrive. With the age of the internet, the world is a smaller place with hypes that are a little more universal.

  • Brands with an impact

    What brands do you associate with?

    I guess everyone had a different way of supporting a brand. But supporting a brand is about the money, most of the time. It is not about the money to such but it does show that money talks in a business sense.

    When words people show when you support a brand, it will eventually slow down as the society moves as a different market approaches.

  • Saving money issue

    When we spend extra money on top of our goods and services with a credit or debit card. We tend to waste that bit of money to spend for ourselves.

    We can use that extra cent to put it in investments or have an extra buffer to spend in other goods and services without relying too much on the centralised system and support small business and individuals.

    If we do not have a lot of small businesses then our mental health as a customer can be affected because small businesses have character to them and also the quality of food while bigger corporate companies are just drones in a way.
