Just my thoughts #0712

If you’re not a full-time investor and are considering an investment method, start by defining your identity. That means deciding what your main job is and what your side job is because it greatly affects your time management in investing and influences your results. If you can’t monitor stock trading daily or hourly, then you’re not a full-time investor and should treat investing as a side job. How I allocate my time for investing plays a crucial role in choosing and deciding how to invest. There are many different ways to invest around the world. Impatience is the main mistake that can ruin both my life and my investments. My view of time is that it’s my life. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Conversely, if you say, “I appreciate your studying even while you play,” the message shifts. Parents shape children; husbands influence wives, and wives impact husbands. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
