Looking for the innocent figure of the past | 10 things you must do before you die

We are all trapped in the real world called adults

From time to time on Matters, I always see various essay writing activities, and every title can arouse my curiosity, and I will click into it to find out, but it stops there and does not submit any further contributions. Part of the reason is that I want to be true to myself. The theme set: "investment and financial management" (personal little persistence), another part of the reason is that I have never participated in and do not understand the rules of submission very well, so I am too lazy to write articles (how does it sound like a bad excuse for laziness?).

However, this @Ruth Growth Diary  contains ten things that must be done before I die. The title alone reminds me that I used to be troubled by such things . The new year's new hope note from the previous year, looking at it alone and smirking, may not necessarily be fulfilled, maybe some of the standards or even exceeded expectations, more of which are forgotten dreams, just recalled at this moment, but every year At this time, life seems to be full of possibilities, and I will also reflect and revise the previous visions, delete too exaggerated, and add some new interests or ideas to write a new New Year's hope.

Just after entering the workplace, I collapsed on the bed when I got home, and I didn't have time to think about such profound questions that were so close to my personal life goals. In the real world of adults , but this community activity awakened me, and made me read almost everyone's articles, looking for the innocent figure of the past, and finally decided to write down ten things that belong to me before I die. .

Ten things you must do before you die

Thinking about it all day, I always stare at the car window in a daze when I take a ride, and I also lose consciousness at a certain moment during the conversation, because there are so many thoughts in my head, and there are too many wishes that I long for It is difficult to condense it into the final ten items, but in fact I understand that most of them are just fantasies in my mind that one day they will be miraculously executed . To give a simple example, I want to go Try skydiving (probably many people have wanted to try this crazy life-threatening experience), but I know in my heart that this is just a thought, not something that must be done before death , and will not really plan and implement it, at most Take it to heart that you are a bold person.

So, in the end, after referring to the articles of so many people and matching the necessary conditions that must be done, I finally condensed ten things that must be done before death, and I will classify these ten things into three different Face, work, life, family.

Work

1. Freedom of Wealth

I believe those who have read my article, even from the name of my account, can know that the pursuit of financial freedom has always been one of my goals after work, as I wrote on my personal homepage:

 We who don’t know anything, just came out of the society, we are led by the nose in the real world, and we bury our heads in work just for food and clothing, but we are eager to master life and pursue our dreams, so retiring ourselves from work is our first goal.

Although mastering the dominance of life is never just a matter of money , I think that if you don’t have to worry too much about money, you can spend more time on the things you love. Even if you are pursuing your dreams, you also need to Taking money as part of the consideration, financial freedom has become the direction of my efforts at this stage.

Of course, freedom of wealth is not that simple. Talking about investment and financial management will not be achieved immediately. It takes time to understand the value and concept of money, and you have to be patient to learn the bumpy road of investment. Of course, you can follow my footsteps. Steady the pace of investment.

2. Write a book on investing and financial management

In fact, in the process of learning investment and financial management, I stumbled all the way, from my ignorance to opening an account in a brokerage, or one day I bought the first stock in my life inexplicably, and then washed up and down with the stock market. I missed the short-term operation and put it in the long-term Holding, long-term holdings were sold off due to a sudden surge, and did not keep up with the ferocious rally behind. Overall, although I did not encounter any sad experience of heavy losses, but there was no opportunity to make a fortune, so I wanted to write a story. This book about investment and financial management will allow every new investor to have a reference or a mirror in the future, and will not take too many wrong paths .

At present, I continue to share my investment journey in Matters, and now I have stepped into the investment process of blockchain. I hope to write more articles in the future, and even collect them into a book and organize them into a financial management book.

3. Find a job with a sense of mission

To be honest, I am not very satisfied with my current job. There are many limitations in my work, and my enthusiasm is constantly worn away by some small things. More importantly, I want to find a job with a sense of mission, whether it is to help Whether it's someone else, or accomplishing a small achievement, it makes me feel that this job is better because it's me , and that's what I'm after.

Although I know that it takes a little chance to meet such a perfect job in my mind, let me continue to look for it.

4. Open a bookstore

I am a book lover. Every corner of my house is full of books. Although I have not read all the books I bought, I have read at least a hundred of them. My greatest wish is to recommend the high-quality books I have read to Everyone, it is best to open a bookstore filled with all the books I have read, and then recommend a book that is exclusive to each guest who comes in the bookstore , or open a book club to gather a group of love books. Crazy book friends, discuss the details of the book and their views together.

At present, I am still buying books and reading like crazy, and I will open a bookstore when the time is right, or when my wealth is free.

Life

5. Roundabout in Japan

The first time I went to Japan, I fell in love with such a country. Whether it is food or culture, I was fascinated by it. I really wanted to drive or even ride a bicycle, and I went to every corner of the country. Unfortunately, it is impossible to go abroad due to the current epidemic situation. You can only get a thorough understanding of Taiwan first, wait until it opens, and buy a ticket to Japan first.

6. Watch the aurora

Simply wanting to see the wonders of nature, I once imagined that I was driving on an endless icy road in a Nordic country. I occasionally looked up and saw a soft aurora dancing in the starry sky. Then I would park the car and stand on the side of the road admiring the living beings. Beautiful , the present must be one of the happiest moments in life.

7. Record life with text, video and images

On Matters, I use words to record my life and my current state of mind. However, with the advancement of technology and equipment, I will use my mobile phone to take pictures or record any memorable pictures, and sometimes even edit them into The film is shared with relatives and friends, because when I look back on it again, I can re-experience the mood at that time, as if I had lived again .

8. Experience every day with heart

Since watching the movie "About Time" recently, I have become more aware of the little details in life, the eyes of each other and the other half, the food I eat, the breeze that blows, It makes me thankful for the beautiful experiences in my life, and I work harder to live my life. I live in this moment with my heart and leave no regrets.

9. Cuddle with the other half and grow old slowly

It is very rare to meet someone I love in my life, just like the lyrics of a recent brainwashing song, she is my decision to bet on the world , I want to spend every stage of my life with her like this, and interact with her. There may be friction and disagreements between snuggling up to old age, but I can imagine us walking in the park with white hair and still holding hands tightly together.

10. Accompany your family to experience life

Recently , when I watched my family get old, I realized that people really grow old, and time really slips away mercilessly , so I want to spend more time with my family, even if I talk on the phone every day. Take them to eat some different food, lead them to visit paths or countries that they have never traveled before, help them record their life, and experience life with them, at least at that moment we can keep the time together.
