Once again, Happy New Year m(_ _)\"m

Even with the first three days of the new year almost over, today is the big market opening!!!

From the year-end to the new year, I’ve reflected properly on last year’s trades and listed the trading challenges for this year, so let’s keep our guard up and trade seriously?

Several members asked questions on New Year’s Day.

You’re very studious, aren’t you?

I truly commend such wonderful dedication! (ˊᗜˋ*)*.•*

“It’s when no one else is doing it that you should push hard!”

That’s what I believed and I pushed hard in my twenties.

While friends were talking about enjoying drinks and traveling here and there, I spent every night sacrificing sleep to keep testing and testing…?

I even wondered if I would go crazy…?

But now, while I’m still young,I’m glad I really worked hard, aren’t I?I think so.

And my friends?

They’re still enduring stress as office workers, complaining that their salaries aren’t rising…

I thought nothing had changed in the last ten years?

“It’s when no one else is doing it that you should push hard!”

Don’t you think there could be a future different from the current one beyond that?

A bright future?

That cannot be said with certainty.

But“Effort will be rewarded”is not necessarily the case,“Keep striving until you are rewarded”is what I believe can break the current situation.

I wasn’t a spendthrift to begin with, so I don’t post lavish posts, but

・Buy a house with cash

・Play with my kids between work

・Take time off whenever I want, so I can attend my kids’ events

I’m truly satisfied with that kind of life, aren’t I?

During my days as a self-supported professional doing lots of testing, I was a hospital pharmacist

・Be on 24/7 on-call and rush to the hospital if anything happens

・Work on year-end/new year and weekends, holidays as well

・Sometimes cannot attend children’s events because of work?

・Having paid leave feels almost non-existent

・Even if you work hard, your salary doesn’t rise

What a big difference, lol

People’s happiness is different, I think, but

・What kind of life do you want to lead?

・For that, is it okay to stay as you are now?

・Isn’t there more you can strive for?

・And what should you do to get there?

・Even though I know there’s no easy path to earn, do you sometimes quietly seek to earn easily?

Please think about it once more, okay?

The words the principal said at my son’s kindergarten graduation?

“When there comes a time to choose something, choose the harder option!”

I truly think that’s correct.

When someone says it’s “difficult,” I become even more motivated, haha

My child is still on winter break.

Today there is a baseball game from the morning, so I’m posting a bit early.

Now, let’s start with this year’s first analysis?
