我的流水帐日记

“I don’t have to be brighter than everybody else, I don’t have to have more money than everybody else…I just have to outlearn everybody.

And that’s a very easy thing to do because almost no one is focused on continual learning. If you spend even one hour each day learning, and then the rest of the day applying what you learnt, you would revolutionize any industry. You would be a top-performer.”

New Year’s Resolutions are often sad (they are often about what we hope for but can never get) and are often lies. I don’t want to lie to myself this year.
So step #1: what are some of the requirements of a resolution:
A) It has to be specific. If I say, “I want to be happier” or “I want to lose weight” there has to be a very specific plan for getting that accomplished. It also has to be realistic. Realistically I’m not going to do yoga 7 days a week. Or eat vegetables every meal. I haven’t done that for 40 years so I’m not going to do it now.
B) Incremental Growth: It has to allow for incremental goals, preferably every day, so you can easily judge success or failure and adjust accordingly
Step #2: categorize the resolutions. Specifically, I want to have incremental improvement in each of these areas of my life: physical, emotional, mental, career. Can’t improve one and lag in the others. Won’t work.
Emotional: I’ve had some bleeding the past few years. I’ve bled all over the place. I’ll bleed more in this blog. So there’s a couple of things I’d like to improve this year:
- Friends. I don’t have that many of them. I’d like to have more. To spend time with more friends. I don’t even really know what that’s like. All I’ve done the past 15 years is work. Maybe once every two weeks at least, I’d like to have lunch or dinner with a friend. Just hang out. Talk about something other than business. Maybe play games (and not online) . I have a good ongoing backgammon match with Stephen Dubner which has been fun. We’ve been doing that since 2002 when he was writing a book on “The Psychology of Money” but he then got diverted to writing a book with minimal sales called “Freakonomics”. I’d like to have more outings playing games with friends.
- No Clutter. I’m not moving (I moved four times last year). I’m not getting married (did that last year). Everytime I buy a book I’m giving one away. STOP EATING AT THE DESK. I want for nothing (except the Ipad2 when it comes out. Oh, and I’m getting the Macbook Air 13” by the time I go to India).
- Meditation. I put this under the category of “emotional” rather than “mental” or “spiritual”. Practicing meditation is good for those moments where you catch yourself in regular life getting angry, or stressed, or anxious. The “practice” gets practical when you can stop yourself and say “wait a second, there’s that anxiety again. Hello anxiety.” Just acknowledging an unpleasant emotion or stress (like acknowledging an itch), helps it disappear.
I’m going to try to 20 minute sittings at least three times a week. A sitting means sitting there doing nothing but listening to my breath. If you find your thoughts drifting (they will drift, that’s what the mind does) then just say hello to them and get back to the breath. That’s it. All it does is, again, practice for those moments when your thoughts get a bit out of control in the real world. Has nothing to do with spirituality except for the fact that it strips away those layers that prevent you from seeing things how they really are.
In reality, its not possible for everyone to sit still for 20 minutes, which is why I also like these 60 second meditations described in “Naked Girls, Astral Projection, and achieving Nirvana in 60 seconds or less”.
- Family: Finally. A lot more time with my kids. Ideally, I home school them. But I don’t think that’s practical for me right now. But more time on a weekly basis. Enough to do the advice described in “Is it bad I wish my first kid was aborted?”
Mental:
- Morning routine: I want to get my morning routine back in shape:
Read at least one good piece of writing each morning: a short story, a literary essay, good non-fiction
Study at least one game in the morning. Choose from: chess, Go, backgammon, scrabble, checkers, bridge
Ideas. Get my handy waiter’s pad out and jot down 10 ideas. Ideas can be about anything: new businesses, article ideas, people I want to meet, ideas for other people (with the intent of communicating those ideas). Just keep exercising the idea muscle.
- During the day. At least 20% less screen time. More walking-around-just-thinking time. I spent 10 hours a day in front of a screen typically. What a waste of life.
- Memorize a list of 2500 Spanish words. I don’t want to read a “Learn Spanish” book. I just want to get the 2500 most used words in the language and memorize them. If I do 8 a day I should be good within a year.
Career:
- Transition: I’m still going to write (and trade) about stocks for WSJ, Business Insider, CNBC.com, AOL, and wherever BUT I’m going to scale out of that into doing other things. I’m not sure what the writing has really done for me, career-wise. All I get it a ton of grief on message boards, people calling me a “psycho idiot” all the time. I have another book coming out February 1 (“The WSJ Guide to investing for the apocalypse (Harper Collins)”) but its going to be my last finance book (and my fifth. I don’t ever want to do another).
- TWO BOOKS: I’m self-publishing two new books in the next three months: “The White Book” and “The Black Book”. The White Book is basically a guide to living a better life, with different definitions of success, health, happiness, than anyone’s seen before.
The problem with the self-help industry out there is that I feel 99.99% of the authors in the space haven’t really lived at all. They all talk about “being optimistic” or “the secret” but have no idea how to really execute on an idea, appreciate a simpler life, or even understand when optimism bleeds into stupidity.
Nobody knows how to have ideas or really make the most of opportunities. Also, people confuse investing with happiness. Not a single article about stocks has anything to do with actually having a better life. I’m sick of the vapidness of the self-help industry and all of its sub-genres in personal finance, health, spirituality, etc.
“The Black Book” is, well, a little darker.
- Speaking: This past year I did some fun speaking engagement that weren’t all finance related. I want to do more of those. A lot more. Colleges, conferences, random bars in the middle of the night, etc.
- Private investing: I have another post coming out soon about what investments I currently have. Of my dozen or so investments only one requires me to be hands-on. Ideally I keep it that way and just ride out the rest without sweating them. My checklist on a private investment remains the same and I won’t waver from this in 2011:
CEO who has built and sold before
Good co-investors (let them do the handholding, the background checks, the term sheets, etc. I don’t want hard work)
Good demographic trend (facebook marketing, personalized medicine, cloud storage, disintermediated commerce, etc)
Cheap valuation. This is subjective. But most people know “dirt cheap” when they see it.
Clear path to profitability and good revenues. I’m tired of seeing the crooked smile on business plans which start at 0 and end up at $1 trillion in profits in 10 years. Only invest in reality and not the fad of the day. I’ve been guilty of that also many times.
Physical:
- Exercise. Specifically, I want to do yoga at least 3-4 times a week. I was working out with a trainer for a little over a year three times a week but it was a bit too brutal for me. Yoga seems to be great for upper body strength, breathing, stretching, and general well-being. Specifically I like the Ashtanga yoga prescribed by Claudia over at her blog. I’m heading to India later in January to do nothing but yoga for a couple of weeks, and I feel pretty good at sticking to the regimen I started a few months ago of at least three times a week. I like Ashtanga because there’s no actual class. Everyone is doing their own thing and the teacher walks around and adjusts people. Some prominent hedge fund billionaires practice Ashtanga Yoga as well. Why is this important?
These are all severe Type A, driven personalities. They probably spent the first thirty or forty years of their lives obsessively worried about money. Now they really have only two things to worry about: will the world end? And how can they live forever? And I’m assuming they all do just as much obsessive research on these topics as they did when they were making their billions. With so many of these guys doing Ashtanga, I have to assume they did their due diligence, determined that this was the method for living the longest with the highest quality of life, and started their practice.
- Diet. This is the hardest to make a resolution on. But I’m going to do the scientifically proven to lose weight “James Altucher Diet” as soon on Oprah.
One item for breakfast. It can be any item. A bagel. A croissant. One pancake, etc. But that’s it. You can’t have eggs and bacon and home fries. That’s three items. You can’t have platter of pancakes. That’s a platter and not one. One item.
Anything you want for lunch. Doesn’t matter.
Dinner before 6pm (before 5pm ideally) and no white at night. No starch (pasta, desserts, cheese, etc). Btw, no alcohol. But this is hard for many people.
No snacks in between meals
There, its that simple. You’ll lose 1000 lbs with this diet. Scientifically proven. In 2003, for various reasons, I gained 20 lbs in a month. This is the diet I used to quickly lose it. Always works.
Miscellaneous:
- My whole life I’ve wanted to do stantup comedy. THIS IS THE YEAR I’m going work out a routine, get up on stage, and do it. You’re all invited.

昨天跟老公和儿子走在去超市的路上

路旁边有种树的方形小坑,我看见了,但是还是走过去了

正常情况下也没啥问题,不知道昨天穿的鞋子厚了,还是走神了,突然摔了一跤,就像儿子走路走快了,扑通一下趴到地上!

疼死我了,我的膝盖阿~是在忍不住,笑出来!

30的人了,走路摔了一大跤,真是丢人~

瞧,这年过的,幸亏当时是老公抱着儿子,否则儿子也跟着可怜了!

那个冒险的决定,就是把住着好好的房子卖掉,然后再去买一个!
痛苦的看房过程终于告一个段落,选到了比较心仪都房子.
房价还是很高的,也没怎么降呀~缴税大厅,过户大厅依然相当拥挤热闹.
卖掉的房子过户那天,拿了一个号,前面排着200多号人,活生生等了将近4个小时.
不知道北京的房价未来将会怎么样!
发现贵的好的房子依然买不起. 朗琴园与远见1条马路之隔,两居室的房价竟然可以差出将近1w元/平米~
这个社会真是越来越不靠谱了.

国管公积金真是太不靠谱了,说好过户5天放款,结果等了15天也没见到帐.还是北京市的公积金靠谱

年底银行理财产品多,收到的放款,还了贷款,剩下了到银行做了7天通知存款和短期理财产品,算着利息还能吃一顿好的.—有钱真好!
不料看上的房子房价偏高,又开始借钱,要做贷款了~话说年轻人应该适当有点贷款,不过还是公积金贷款好,利率可真便宜.

总之,09年真倒腾~期待搬过去

终于可以呼吸一点新鲜的空气了
