The joy of sharing

Haha...sounds like Christmas came later by 3 months...instead of sharing in December, I actually did it last night!

One was with my colleague. We talked abit of our financial futures and how his interest in managing his own portfolio and getting his freedom after reading RDPD. And he said something which I think is very reflective of the book: No, it's not "I can't get enough" but "It's not enough" in terms of how to go about doing things after getting all raved up and excited about seeing a "rich man's world." And so I showed him a book I borrowed from Shirin - Rich Woman - by Kim, Kiyosaki's wife. There's one particular chapter I like which is about finally turning ideas and words and excitement into purpose and plan. Well, I've done some "quiet time" on that yesterday and determined I need a monthly cashflow of Singapore Dollars 5500 after I grad from university.

But for now my vehicle is forex for capital gains. I haven't envisioned myself doing cashflow investments...but I guess I'll have to get there cos that is true freedom. Even trading is considered sort of active income since you have to actively trade ya know!

Haha...and well...the second incident is meeting Lionel, my understudy in camp, online. Told him about my idea of building a game around economics concept, and he said he would buy it from me if it is good! Imagine that! I've my first potential customer without even asking! Haha...anyway...my purpose is to make learning economics principles easy and fun...not to sell...

Well...we continued to talk and Lionel mentioned that he hardly can understand what the financial books and terms are about. And I think we came to a rough conclusion that we have to meet...and so I told him that I'm free Monday and Friday evenings and Saturday and Sunday mornings. He suggested Saturday morning...and I realised I might have OT on my job...so...I suggested 6.30am. I was thinking...most people will say it's crazy to meet so early...and so it's kinda a test to see if he is really interested and motivated.

I'm darn glad my dear bro passed the "test" and proved his determination. Haha, congrats Lionel(if you are reading this)! Just realised I'm not familiar with equities at all, so I better send him a msg to caution him.

And so, everyone, continue having fun learning!
