Everyone is showing off

-


Don't show it off to others.

I was taught that when I was a kid, and when I was asked to buy a new one, I brag about it, and it was taken and destroyed.

I want to say that I'm not showing off to other people, but it seems that I'm always doing show-offs.

This is really a shock.


Chapter 9 "Conversation"

I like to talk to people, but when asked why I like it, I can't reply immediately, but if you think about it, it may be fun because you may discover something new in the conversation.


Having discoveries means that the person you are talking to has provided some information.

When you say so, I also provide some information.

I never thought that it would have a show-off effect.


Do not show off because it gives a bad impression.

However, while saying that they are offering information in everyday conversation, it is actually a show-off.


Well, I want to talk to people when I get the knowledge and new information I got from a new book.

Speaking of a show-off, I thought it was some childish behavior, but I did not change much.


Chapter 10, "Consumption"

I often used to show off by buying things when I was a kid, but I don't think there is anything openly done after I became an adult.

I don't have the habit of buying high-cost positional goods, and I have an only regular income, so I'm aware that it's not something I can do my best.


Chapter 11 "Art"

You don't spend money or time on art.

I think it's just not interested.

Among the strengths of VIA, "Appreciation of Beauty & Excellence" is the lowest 24th place.

If you have too much money and find it difficult to use it, you may spend money on art.


Chapter 12, "Charity"

I don't do much charity.

I donate only a small amount of money.

However, I didn't think that charity would even have a show-off effect.

Showing off charity is hypocritical, and I don't like it.

Well, this is also a sign that people are more or fewer hypocrites.


Conclusion

After all, we are secretly showing off without being aware of it.

I tended to feel hypocrisy about charity and tend to avoid it, but if everything is more or less predicated on showing off, I don't have to hesitate.

Perhaps I was a little too concerned about the eyes around me.


Today's theme is from The Elephant in the Brain, Chapters 9 to 12.

Improve your sensitivity to numbers

I understand why I wouldn't say I like numbers. It may have low sensitivity. Still, I don't hate math, and sometimes I teach. * Don't worry about short-term results It is a compound interest effect, but it is a very rough number, but if the yield is 5%, the profit is about 30% in 5 years, about 60% in 10 years, nearly 100% in 15 years, how much in 20 years, It will be 165%. By the way, I feel that it has been increasing for about five years since I started buying investment trusts using the dollar-cost averaging method. I try various things, but I feel that the results are not very effective. If you think about it, I've only been doing this for a few months, so that's obvious. If I start it, I would like to continue working for five years. Longing for Hot Cook, water ovens, breadmaker I want it, but I can't buy it. It's expensive, but if you use it every day, the price per day isn't too high. But deep inside my heart, the other person is saying. "Do

If not done, no plan can be made (PDCA to DCAP)

I always had a short-term, centralized plan, one year at the longest. I've probably never made a plan more than that. I think it was the first visible shape. My goals so far are all about how I can contribute to my job. Fortunately, I'm allowed to do something I like relatively much at the job, so it makes sense. However, because of the short-term decisive battle, I have no time to spare, and regardless of whether I achieve it, what comes after that, Burnout syndrome. I have a stoic personality, so I take it quite seriously. However, the reaction has made me motivated for quite some time. I think this was always a repeat. The most shocking thing I learned this week was the dispersion of time. I had no such idea. That's the only goal I could achieve in a year, so I can't help it. I thought that time dispersion was only about the dollar-cost averaging method. I felt like the scales fell from my eyes. I also wanted to get good results in a short pe

Make your goals concrete

I don't define Time-rich and Cash-rich. If I continue to do this, I will not achieve your goals. So I thought about my goals. Time-rich and Cash-rich goals Be able to set a schedule for my convenience Be able to travel on weekdays 8 hours of free time every day Sleep 8 hours a day Earn 10 million yen on my own What I found by setting goals is that I cannot achieve it while working for a company. And if I want it, it's not that much. I don't have the confidence to make my own money. So you have to build confidence first. With the goal of Time-rich and Cash-rich, it is necessary to think carefully about what can be earned and how to improve my ability. For the time being, all this is to train me, with the goal of five years from now. I will continue to study IT and English with my current work, and I will firmly visualize my abilities. These are the two things to do Take the TOEIC test (L&R 800 points or higher + S&W challenge) Take IT-related exams in English (OSCP,
