This is Yasin's 80th original article
daily life
I don't know if some unknown and wonderful changes have taken place in this universe, but the past year feels like time flies so fast.
In the past few years, I have written a year-end summary every year, recording what happened to me this year, and what I thought at the time. Man is a kind of animal that is not so sensitive to time. If it is not a deliberate memory, it is difficult to remember what I was doing and what I was thinking a year ago.
This year is the third year-end summary I wrote. I started writing from the age of 25 to 35, and then I looked back at my changes in the past ten years. Ordinary or extraordinary things are recorded in the text, which constitutes this unique life.
I didn't go home for the Chinese New Year in February this year (because I was pregnant with grapefruit), and it was also the first time I didn't go home for the Chinese New Year. During the Chinese New Year, due to the epidemic, some consumer coupons were issued in Hangzhou. On New Year’s Eve, I went out to eat and drink. Although I haven't returned to my hometown, I don't feel lonely when my family is there.
In the past two years, I feel like my life has been accelerated, and I have done a lot of things that should be done. I also have an additional social identity of "father". Being a dad for the first time, I don't have much experience, I just want to fulfill my responsibilities as a father.
I often watch the video and giggle, watching his growth, looking forward to the future when the family will settle down and go out for fun on weekends. 2022 is a year of overwhelming happiness.
writing
In 2022, a total of 25 articles were written, of which technical articles accounted for a relatively small proportion.
When I was writing this year's year-end summary, I looked through last year's summary, which said that I hope to write an article every 2 weeks in 2022. Now it seems that this goal has not been achieved, only about half of it has been completed, and we need to work harder next year.
I have learned a lot this year, and some of them have been written and shared in articles. For me, the biggest gain is a better understanding of my heart and what I want in the long run. I also accept my own imperfections and understand myself more comprehensively and objectively.
Know the world and understand that everyone is a unique individual. Sometimes I can think about problems from the perspective of others, and I can understand some behaviors of others at that time.
This year, many articles have not been deliberately posted on other platforms, mainly on the official account and personal website. The attention has not risen much, and we can only say "steady and positive".
An article written in the second half of the year received a lot of reading, which should have triggered some WeChat recommendation mechanism. I usually read only a few hundred articles. The reading volume of this article is more than ten times higher than usual, indicating that some articles may have their own dissemination attributes. I hope that I can write more in-depth and wider dissemination articles next year.
financial management
The results of financial management this year are not good, but I have accumulated a lot of knowledge in investment and financial management, so it can be regarded as a harvest.
I played with stocks for a period of time at the beginning of the year and suffered a small loss. I was relatively pessimistic about the economy under the epidemic, and then I quit and didn't touch it. The fund has been invested for about half a year. Last year, I made a profit based on this fund. This year, I lost a little, but the investment is not much, and it is still acceptable. I hope that with the liberalization of the epidemic policy next year, the economy will pick up and it will bring back some blood for me.
But in the future, I may not invest in funds much. I feel that it is not as convenient as stocks. The returns brought by the size of public funds are not better than stocks, but I lose my agility. There are additional handling fees, and the liquidity is much worse than stocks.
In the second half of the year, I learned about quantitative finance by accident, and spent a period of time researching it without sleep or food. At present, I have learned some theories, backtested some strategies, and the interface has run through, and even the server has been bought. However, the strategy is not perfect yet, and it takes time to study and polish it. Next year, my plan is to spend most of my spare time on it, hoping to meet my expectations.
Manual operation also led to an overcrowding, and the money is not much. It can be regarded as a lesson for myself. In the future, don’t easily operate manually, and don’t easily use leverage. The strategy should pay attention to risk management. I hope this is the last liquidation in my life.
Work
I have achieved a lot in my work this year. I have fulfilled the goal I set for job-hopping last year, and even exceeded my original goal.
In 2022, I was promoted and my salary was raised. This is what many migrant workers are after. The promotion defense was painful, but in hindsight, all the hard work was worth it. We sometimes joke that leaders "give everything that should be given", but hard work and opportunity are equally important. In other words, it should also be "get everything that should be given".
I have put in a lot of effort in my work this year, and I often feel that I am very busy. There are some statistics on Feishu. If it weren’t for the statistics, I don’t know that I would be so busy and send more than 600 messages a day.
Of course, a lot of documents have been written, and a document is produced almost every working day...
Regarding work, I hear more complaints from colleagues around me, such as tiredness and lack of sense of accomplishment. But I think work is nothing more than doing things for money. Since it is difficult to change the working environment, it is better to accept it with a different attitude. Sometimes you will not feel so tired if you are really invested.
My attitude towards work is not love, but I will try my best to be responsible and do what I should do well. It is best to have a sense of accomplishment. If not, then it is considered to be taking money to do things, or helping others solve problems, which is also a manifestation of one's own value.
growing up
In addition to the growth in mentality mentioned above, there are also some more obvious growth in sports and personal habits.
Because I realized that I was getting fat and my physical function began to decline. In the second half of the year, I started to go to the gym, mainly doing aerobic exercise, alternating running and swimming. I would go three or four times a week. I would go to the gym downstairs in the company at dinner time, and eat some bread after exercise. I feel that the effect is quite obvious. With the diet, I have lost a lot of weight.
In 2023, we must also keep exercising and exercise some muscles properly, otherwise the baby will grow bigger and bigger, and it will be a bit difficult to hold. However, the "yang has passed" recently, and it may take a month to recuperate before exercising.
2022 insists on using checklists to deal with daily things, and occasionally deliberately uses Pomodoro to keep myself focused. Some data of this software cannot be counted on a yearly basis, but overall, I am satisfied. Using the software makes my work more organized and efficient.
Goals for 2022
In last year's year-end summary, my expectations for 2022 are: be happier, be healthy, make more money, that's all.
It seems to be pretty good now, and it is considered to have achieved part of the goal.
Deeper self-knowledge can make you more peaceful. The grapefruit also brought me a lot of happiness.
Start exercising and make yourself a little healthier than before.
Work hard and get rewarded.
Goals for 2023
The goal for 2023 is to hope that pomelo will grow up safely and healthily, that I can learn more financial knowledge and apply it, and that my work will be smooth and easy.
Hope for world peace.
