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”
One reason for the Dutch’s wealth was the strong trust between the merchants and sailors responsible for trade. Captain Willem Barentsz failed in 1596 while attempting to open a northeast route to the Far East via Novaya Zemlya in the Arctic Ocean. An accident occurred in which 8 out of 18 sailors died after being trapped in glaciers at temperatures of -40 degrees for 8 months, marking a setback for the development of a new maritime route. However, the captain and crew did not disturb the cargo, and on June 13, 1597, they split into two small ships and escaped the glacier. Fifty days later, they were rescued by a Russian merchant ship. Captain Barentsz died on the journey home, but the crew returned the consigned cargo to its owners intact after getting home. Trust means taking your life as collateral. Business is built on this trust. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
