After sunbathing on the rooftop, I returned to the room. If it weren't for my mom needing to go back to Chongqing for something, I'd probably still be spending winter in Yunnan.

This year, in 2026, I'll go to Yunnan again and stay for the entire winter before returning to Chongqing.

If I make money in the future, I might choose to travel abroad for winter.

But that would probably be a few years from now.

I've never doubted my abilities.

I just sometimes step into pitfalls because of overconfidence.

Recently, my account has been losing money, and it won't recover in the short term. This is a good time to read the books I've been wanting to read.

Actually, apart from continuously losing money in the stock market, other aspects of my life are quite peaceful.

I live alone.

I don't have to deal with the chaotic lives of others.

Moreover, I'm relatively healthy, both physically and mentally, with a calm mindset.

Contentment brings happiness. A peaceful and stable life is actually a kind of happiness.

Today, my mom called and asked when I'd return to Jiangbei. She bought a lot of food.

I said I'd go back on the 14th. Well, February 14th is my birthday.

Every year it's the same day. Unfortunately, every year I don't have a valentine.

Actually, birthdays aren't that important to me now.

If I'm happy and can live the life I want, every day is a happy birthday.

As for a valentine... when I'm at my best, I'll naturally be willing to let someone into my life.

But if I feel I'm not ready or not at my best, I might prefer to live a quiet life alone.

I'm someone who can be alone.

When trading stocks, I rarely follow others' opinions—I think for myself.

I never like taking shortcuts, so I keep stepping into pitfalls.

If there's someone I admire on this platform, someone I think is truly capable, it's @xiaozhaolucky and @散財中子老李. They are indeed role models worth learning from.

There are no shortcuts in stock trading. Without years of experience, you won't succeed.

Hardships are also gains. The key is growth, and these things need to be felt personally.

After this, I won't talk every day. Maybe I'll share something every two or three days.

There's not much to say about the stock market. The normal script is that it'll rise in the second half of the year.

The wrong script is a nearly year-long bear market, but the probability is low.

Stay calm about @MTGA. Take care, and we'll talk later.
