Thomas: So I haven't been reading your blog as much, so your blog views must have gone down by like 50 percent right?
I've also been watching Masterchef US. You know for when I've been bored.
Thomas: You didn't have to be redundant, Masterchef US would have been enough.
Me: I should introduce my friends to you and why I'm so honest.
Thomas: You really shouldn't.
(NOTE: BECAUSE I HAVEN'T POSTED IN A WEEK, THIS POST IS A BIT OF EVERYTHING AND IS A RAMBLE)
Hey guys! Sorry, I missed last weeks post. I was totally planning to post on Thursday but the Engineering Expo was on and I spent way longer there compared to what I expected, and since then its been very busy.
I think if you're at my age, everyone is close to graduating from whatever degree they're doing and need to start thinking about next year and what the next step ahead should be.
Not going to lie, the expo was reassuring in the sense that it gave me a little more direction as to where I should go in the next few years. Its definitely what I want to do, and the presentations (for the most part) was very informative and I could honestly see myself doing that in the future. Its been a long time since that's happen.
My grandparents are in the town and its really awesome to see them again. I am very fortunate that my grandparents are still around and less fortuanate that they're not in Australia so I can see them more regularly but whilst they're here, I will certainly make the most of seeing them.
They're so awesome, my grandma can send emails and and my grandfather actively trades and they're 80+ years old. Actually quite weird how much I'm enjoying their company
Speaking of trading, I've been trading for a while now. Its going pretty well, although it was going better a month ago. Its very nice, being able to make money based on you're own decisions and not based on minimum wage working without using your brain (too much). On the list of con, the money you get is in no way guaranteed and if you trade regularly, then you have to keep a close eye on the share market.
The most important lesson that I've learned is admitting you're wrong. When you buy a wrong equity and it goes down, you can't just plug your ears and go "LALALALALA it'll go back up." Its harder because you don't have to admit you're wrong to anyone else besides yourself and only you'll know the reasoning behind whatever you do. It is very easy to lie to yourself and say its not really a mistake and just hold a declining stock instead of selling it.
Somewhat similarly, its kind of what Vettel did this week. For those who don't follow the F1, Mark (red bull team) was leading the race and was told by his team to slow down and conserve his engines. Vettel (also red bull team) who was coming second and was told to conserve his tyres attacked and subsequently passed Mark. He later apologized, for not following team orders saying he didn't pass Mark deliberately. I mean you can say what you want after you've made your mistakes. I seriously question whether what he did was genuinely a mistake.
I mean seriously, I don't have problems with bad decision making or mistakes. Just don't make up excuses or poor arguments to justify your idiocy.
