To you who spend the year-end and New Year idly
Salarymen start their break today.
Shut off the alarm,
for now, go back to sleep.
Wake up at noon, fiddle with the smartphone,
and before you know it, it’s night.
—In those few days, nothing remains.
Year-end and New Year sounds nice, but
in reality, 90% of people treat it as an event that melts time.
✔ Liberation from the boss
✔ Security that you won’t receive work messages
✔ An atmosphere where doing nothing is forgiven
All of this is addictive, like a drug.
Let me be clear.
The gap appears during moments like this.
- Everyone stops
- Everyone slackens off
- Everyone starts saying, “I’ll work hard next year”
At this timing,
“Today is fine.”
“It’s New Year’s, after all.”
“I’ll start after the holidays.”
How many times you say this will determine your position a year from now.
As for the market,
holidays and New Year don’t matter.
What moves is only the chart.
And,
the people who are winning,
in these “periods when no one wants to do anything,”
- revisit the rules
- backtest the past
- exhaust the losing patterns
- finish preparing for next year
They do not do flashy things at all.
They quietly lay the groundwork in a low-profile way.
The moment they return to being salarymen,
they think again,
“The break went by so quickly…”
“Nothing has changed….”
That is a sign that nothing has accumulated this year either.
Let me tell you.
Right now, during this period,
between “rest without thinking” and
“moving a little forward,”
next year,
you will never see the same scenery again.
Just one hour is enough.
- review the教材
- write the rules on paper
- organize the entry conditions
That’s all you need.
I’m not saying don’t rest.
I’m not saying don’t play either.
But,
“Don’t stop everything.”
The moment you stop,
you’ll be back in the same place.
The market,
will not spare those who stop.
So,
this vacation,
will you end it in “consumption”
or turn it into “preparation”?
The choice is
yourself today.
