The first lesson in financial intelligence investment is to understand yourself first, then understand the market.

Compared to studying K-lines and researching sectors

Managing your physical and mental emotions is the fundamental required course.

Distinguish between two trading states:

Are you placing orders driven by tension, panic, and greed?

Or are you making judgments calmly, driven by a stable mind and rationality?

When people make decisions with their emotional brain, they get it wrong nine times out of ten;

Only by awakening the rational brain can one maintain proper trading discipline.

Physical and mental health is the unbeatable trump card on the investment journey, and the brain will become clearer with practice.

My own willpower is relatively weak, so I directly quit coffee to adjust my physical state;

When emotional fluctuations are large and anxiety-prone, I consistently practice Pilates

It can release pent-up emotions, stretch the body, and the mind becomes much more peaceful.

Gradually discovered many details that drain oneself:

Constantly scrolling through short videos makes people increasingly impatient;

Soaking in various group chats leads to cluttered thoughts and rampant distractions.

So I deliberately adjusted my input methods:

Watch less fragmented short content, and more often settle down to read books and deep, long-form content;

Reserve a full day on weekends to stay away from all electronic devices, completely cutting off associated noise, and now I've basically quit the high-frequency input of short videos.

Grand narrative content creators, casual evaluations from others, meaningless small talk—all are actively filtered out.

Irrelevant noise only disrupts judgment. The same goes for investment and life: focusing on oneself is the core.

First nourish the body well, then stabilize emotions, block out ineffective information

Only with a peaceful and clear mind can one achieve long-term, stable returns ✨

Sometimes I also think good investors

Truly possess four abilities: mathematics, finance, psychology, and philosophy.

Mathematics tells them where the probability lies;

Finance tells them what the rules are;

Psychology tells them how to control themselves;

Philosophy tells them how to face uncertainty.

Therefore, what trading truly teaches people may not be how to make money

But how to face a world full of uncertainty:

Acknowledge that you can be wrong, accept that the world is uncontrollable

Place bets within probability, and remain calm with the outcomes.

So superficially looking at a company's fundamentals is metaphysical

People still need to continuously learn the underlying first principles.
