The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down

Busy is part of modern day life.

Busy is part of modern day life. I am busy, you are busy, he is busy, she is busy. We almost busy everyday. Weekdays busy with work, child, friends, life, etc. Weekends busy to recuperate from the hassle of weekdays. Weekends are precious and so short whereas weekdays seems so long.

It’s been very long since my last post.

Such is the life of most people. Me too.

Recently, I am very busy with work and life. My typical schedule for WFO day.

6.00am – wake up. Do some Crypto/investment research.
6.30am – send, kids to schoold
7.45am – leave for work in the crowded bus and train

5.00pm plus – leave for home in crowded bus and train
6.00pm plus – pick my daughter
6.00pm to 10.00pm – playground, playtime, settle dinner for kids time. Sometime, I don’t have time to eat myself.

11.00pm – me time. Do some Crypto/investment research or read some books or simply don’t do anything.

Is your life as busy too?

Reading a book…

Recently, I found and is reading a book. Just finished Chapter 1.

The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down

I am trying to slow myself down, learn from my young daughter – to be happy in all situation. But my elder son is thinking too much like me. Everyday we need to learn to be a better self.

Do consider reading too.

Some quotes from the book

I squeeze myself into the subway car.
People are crowded all around me.
I can either get annoyed
or think it’s fun that I don’t have to grab a handrail.
People react differently to the same situation.
If we look at it more closely,
we see it’s not the situation that is troubling us,
but our perspective on it.
Tsunamis are frightening not just because of the water,
but also because of the objects hurled at us by the water.
Tornadoes are terrifying not just because of the wind,
but also because of the objects uprooted and thrown by the wind.
We feel unhappy not just because something bad has happened,
but also because of the swirling thoughts about what happened

We know the world only through the window of our mind.
When our mind is noisy, the world is as well.
And when our mind is peaceful, the world is, too.
Knowing our minds is
just as important as trying to change the world

A family takes a walk amid fallen autumn leaves.
Dad lifts up his five-year-old son,
and the boy showers him with kisses.
Mom watches with a smile on her face.
If we take time to look around,
we see ourselves surrounded by lovely moments.
Would you like to make your child happy?
Then get off work a little early today.
Wait for your child in front of school.
Horse around together on the playground.
Let your child choose where to go for dinner.
And shower your child with your loving attention.
On your way home, pick up ice cream for the family.
Your child will remember this day forever.

Battle of Enough VS Spending for Financial Bloggers

Money just buy you the chance of freedom but can’t buy back time. In life, there is no reset button. Time is limited but money is not.

When you are young and working, you exchange time for money. When you are old, you can have lots of money but you can’t buy time back, especially the things that you have missed (your strong health, time with young child) while busying striking out in career.

Your kids grew up and they no longer need you to accompany them. They no longer want to sit on your lap to share/do things with you…all these time you spent in your 9 to 6 or even longer cubicles…can the money that you have earned by you back these?

We always thought we have more time with our old parents, but we are wrong. Time with them is ticking away every day. One day it will suddenly be gone. There is no regret medicine, no reset in time. Gone is gone and cannot come back. No matter you are billionaires or millionaires, you cannot reset this.

We always thought that we have more time with our spouse every day, but we are wrong. One day they will be gone too. When you read this, please go tell your spouse that you love him/her and he or she is the best thing that you ever had in your life.

Love your life daily. You have one less day with your spouse, parents, children and yourself. Time is ticking away.
