- Keeping Investing Simple
The Human Mind
Humans are complex creatures.
We tend to over complicate things, making things hard, or at the other extreme – underthink things (read: Careyourpresent: Over or Under think your Life and Investment?). We don’t feel satisfied if we keep things too simple. Unconsciously or consciously, we become overthinker and tend to overcomplicate things.
But do you remember what happened when you were young (or simply at the kids/babies around you), simple things like $1 toy, small tibits, grass/flowers at roadside makes them laugh non-stop. As we grow older, these small little joys don’t happen anymore. We need more “sophisticated” things like salary bonus, find dining, vacation, option trading, atas condo, trading etc to drive up our adrenaline in order to make us happy. Small little things don’t work anymore.
This used to make us happy last time.
This is luxury and make us super super happy when we were young.Now many need this or even more complicated things
Do you have the same feelings/realization?
In this article, I will share my views on how to keep things simple in Investing and in Life
