Came across a post by Felix (a local investor in mid 30s who have
achieved financial independence) which I find very meaningful and
resonates greatly with me.
Rephrased and share:
"
In today's world with so much social media, we are too pressured to be like others.
Most, if not all, of my friends are trying to do the same thing.
Get a high paying job, get married early, big wedding, fancy honeymoon,
tie themselves down with 30 year loan with big car and house, eat
restaurant and buy branded.
End up keep complaining they are poor, ask me how they can earn more money, ask me teach them how to "play" stocks and get rich.
I tell them, I'm just an average investor, just that I have a simple
lifestyle. Spend little and invest most of my money, let it grow for
close to a decade then have today.
Do they follow my advice? Nope. They just brush me off, think I CSB.

How true! This short post completely sums up what I think of the world today and on investing.
Sorry, but we don't know how to "play" stocks.
We are not super talented stock picker like Warren Buffett.
We don't know any way to get rich quick.
We just live a simple lifestyle, invest regularly and let time do its thing.
