You have to tell money how you want them to go into your pocket - I
My frenz should know that I always want $$ could go into my pocket while I'm sleeping. From the morality perspective, I have been thinking hard whether its kinda 好逸惡勞 but it is absolutely not. I guess many of us has to change our mindset. On the contrary, it is a responsible act for your family.
You would hear from news that some people's wives and children feel very upset because their husbands / fathers passed away in accidents and they do not know how they could live afterwards. Probably these men have been very diligent and earn $$ for their family by working extremely hard. But all these have gone when they passed away. Esp. when people in grassroot.
Some other people do earn a lot of moeny but you could hardly find that them working very hard. Others would seldom praise them publicly (but the world has been changing, I admit) except the real typcoons. On the contrary, some one would even 'red eye' these people. Its obviously some kind of jealousy. If these people are given the chance of having $$ easily, I could hardly believe that they would refuse this offer.
Then it comes to the most important point here: who give these people these opportunities? To my understanding, there are only 2 possibilities: luck and diligence. I mentioned that some people work really hard to earn a living with minute wages and it seems that I tried to imply that it is of no use to work diligently. It is not right.
There is a difference between (merely) working hard and working hard after you have thoroughly thought about what you are doing.
Some people work really hard and earned handsome money because they have decided to put their effort in an efficient way and get what they want. Some people, also work diligently, for other initiatives, such as some strong desire and wish. It is still ok because to them the value is not inclined to money. Yet quite a number of us would simply work hard and ‘pray’or ‘wish’ for handsome return without thinking carefully whether it is a good way to spend their effort. It sounds pretty utilitarian but it is very true. Our time is limited. We could not do all the things we want and we have to choose carefully.
I always think that it is not something being taught in classrooms, and even not really grasped by school teachers. So when students were taught they have to work hard, they would work hard ONLY.
It really resembles the Rich Dad, Poor Dad story. The well-educated dad got debts with him even when his life ended but the other dad simply has his assets grow and grow intelligently.
Its just like when we work hard for our companies and got some salary and you felt satisfied for the pay cheques. That’s your instruction to the money outside and you are trying to prevent them to rush into your pocket because you felt satisfied.
Think: your boss earned $$ from the deals and gave you part of the margin and he got the rest. So that $$ must be larger than your pay cheques.
Why don’t we get that $$ but only the pay cheques? ‘cos we are satisfied with our current situation, although sometimes we still have the strong wish to become wealthy, you are doing nothing except having that strong wish. If you feel hungry, your stomach sounds but the food can’t listen unless you put them into your mouth. Its just like money. You have to do something which might not be difficult to get them into your pocket.
There are some little ways of which you could place your instruction and money could came in:
Every day we are facing different challenges and we do not know what would happen tomorrow. Then why we are so worrying about getting lost in investment? It makes no sense to predict the future and its the challenge we are encountering every second. At least from buying stocks you could see some pattern and there are some data of which you could do some analysis. I’d better say, the fear of drop is the fear of taking responsibilities.

well said. I am at the stage of not earning a lot, but will start investing when my income is more stable. Now try to be satisfied with earning little but still feeling happy - that's very important.
Everyone keep their spirits up - one cannot achieve much by feeling negative in life!
