Not finish a book
Two books I did not finish recently and the reason. Why do I feel obligated to finish a book? But a book is an idea, and idea doesn’t always translate for everyone. At 35, I think there’s no guilt in that; although at times I imagine myself to have to like it.

No clear instruction? Make a call

Saving up for
10th grade, I saved up THB 3,000 for my first Nike basketball shoes. At 30, I start to see people save up 20% for their home down payment. Once we start to make a paycheck or receive our credit card, that stopped. Everything seemed so easy now. The wait is gone. So was happiness. It…

好懂秒懂的財務思維課 by 郝旭烈
106 127 損益表：簡單來說就是看到底有沒有賺錢 資產負債表：就是看賺錢的效率跟效能高不高 金流量表：它等於揭示整個賺錢最後的結果 310 中國人講「量入為出」、「開源節流」，都把開源跟量入放在前面，開源跟量入講的就是「收入」，所以怎麼樣關注你的收入，事實上才是最重要的一塊。 這三者當中的領頭羊不是費用，不是成本，而是「收入、收入、收入」 321 收入預算不確定，你就沒有編，但是費用預算你確定了，所以編得鉅細彌遺…淨利怎麼估算？ 404 如果沒有辦法持續的話，那基本上就不是好收入 439 收入＝商品Ｘ通路Ｘ流量Ｘ轉換率Ｘ客單價Ｘ復購率 688 砍成本和費用，要砍脂肪，不要砍到肌肉 792 「先生產再銷售」，最怕的就是「埋頭苦幹」，也就是一但一頭栽進生產的環節裡面，就沒有花太多心思在銷售環境的變動上面 1171 公司是用扣除費用的所得淨額納稅，但是個人卻用所得總額來納稅 1262 「淨資產或淨值」對公司或者是個人而言，才是真正「財富管理」的終極目標 1870 要推薦最重要的財務分析KPI…總資產報酬率 1926 好的商品去做生意，最好是「高頻高需」 2205 只要手邊有足夠充分的現金，就有活下去的本錢，和足夠應對未來的資源

Motion drives emotion
The word ’emotion’ includes the word ‘motion’, it’s 6 out of the 7 characters. I think this implies 80% action and 20% feeling. Unfortunately, we often flip the ratio when things get hard.
