BuilderOU STORY｜Episode 12

Beyond what I taught,
what happened when it began

I became able to win.
Even so, not everyone became happy.

Hello.
I am
Mr. Ojun, the Builder King,

In Episode 11, I shared a story about how, sparked by telling acquaintances and colleagues that I enjoyed building PCs and FX, I gradually started teaching others.

At first, it was only one person in front of me.

That person would bring in another.

Without advertisements, through word of mouth, people increased, and before I knew it, the number I had taught exceeded 300.

Among them, some later began to earn substantial profits.

People whose lives changed. People who left their jobs. People who could spend more time with their families.

I was glad that what I taught had been useful.

However, as time passed, another reality began to emerge.

Becoming able to win and continuing to live happily afterwards were not the same thing.

1. Some people
had contacted me

From time to time, people I had taught before started reaching out.

“I’ve become able to win.”

“My income has increased.”

“My生活 has changed.”

There were such happy reports as well.

But not all reports were bright.

“Because I made a profit, I raised my standard of living too much.”

“I spent almost all the money I earned.”

“I didn’t think about taxes.”

“I raised my trading amount too high and lost capital.”

“Please teach me again.”

Some people gained confidence by becoming able to win.

However, some of that confidence turned into overconfidence without them realizing.

At first, they traded with a fixed amount, but as profits increased, they began to think they could increase it further.

They increased the trading amount. Then increased it even more.

Even if they lost, they believed they could recover in the next trade.

And before they knew it, the rules they had kept were fading away.

2. After profits,
things collapsed

Most people become cautious when they are losing.

Money decreases. They become scared. They don’t want to lose again.
