p.The Nice Path Ahead

The last part is here:   p.Show - 衣锦还乡

I am loving every moment of this.

A get-together with an acquaintance yielded that he was very angry. He had spent 20 years of his life in white land. He is now just an odd-job labourer with some small licensing ticket in white land. Of cos, he has a small house to boot. He has achieved this house purchase through his hard work in his previous home country. He told me that during his more tender years, he did not listen to his seniors before him. They have suggested to him businesses that might have worked for him in white land. He did not listen to them. He claimed he was stubborn. He explained to me that all my current projects are too big and too wide-spread. He don't believe I will ever succeed. His tone was bitter.

I smiled.

He told me nothing. Being my senior, he taught me nothing. I never did expect anything for free. But, since he taught me nothing and has no cash, I can't be serious with him.

But of course, during his earlier encounters with me, he has hoped to find some common projects to play with me.

But he played me out time and time again over small test matters. I don't trust anyone who failed my little tests. I have no spare cash to lose. Hence, the little tests. I am cunning and extremely careful about who I want to go to bed with. I then blocked all entrances to my projects. I gave him no hope.

He is now very, very angry. Angry that he made no head ways in white land. He is now angry that he has spent 20 years of his youth in white land achieved nothing. Not even one extra house in his name. The current house that he stayed was purchased with funds from the sale of his own house back in his ex-home country. He is still under heavy mortgage. His entire 20 years did not yield a single additional house. In fact, he harbours the thoughts of returning to his own ex-home country for good.

He has no true friends. In fact, he has none that I know of. Why? One asked. It is simply because he was never a true friend to boot. He don't help others from his own heart and he expects others to help and pay for him. Such leecher can't hope to have true friends to die for him.

He is now extremely angry. I did not offer any projects for him to play as I don't trust him at all. I told him that all my projects are deadly expensive and takes forever to reach fruition. Yes. He then answered his own question by saying he and I don't have many more 10-years to game.

Yes. I did misinform him on the progress of my projects. Yes. I did not give hope.

My Comments:

In all battle planning, one needs to address the negativity raised: The long gestation of my projects and the thin-spread of my investment capital.

Contrary to common misconception, I did have a very strong business type that I draw my strength. This business type currently carries the full load of my income. Right now, due to my slightly lack of attention, it has weakened slightly. I have to refocus on it to get it up again. My discussion with my business partner yielded that this business type did have a limit and we have to address it. It was based on this limit that I need to diversify to more business types. But, each business type investment need at least 10 years to fruit.

The ultimate game as we all know is land and lesser extent, properties. Every business type is meant to achieve land ownership. It is with land ownership that one can be confident with one's future. In fact, I have achieved far more unencumbered land mass than most now.

The thin-spreading of the investment capital is intentional. Since I am able to poke my finger in every pie, why not? This thin-spread will allow me to have very low exposure to any one investment type. Hopefully I won't cause jealousy in any one I encounter. 

I still want my peace.

I am water. I flow into every crevices of the mother nature. I may not be able to enjoy the full fruit during my physical life, but I am sure those that take over me will finally find peace and serenity.

I may be wrong in spreading the capital too thinly. But, I am truly enjoying myself. So I am kind of stuck in thinking otherwise. Let time be my ultimate guide. I never had so much now than before. Before I was battling with uncertainty. Now, every asset is acquired with pure cash, I sleep well every night. Yes. There would be storms ahead of me. Yes. There would be uncertainties. But, with my unyielding hardworking hands, I believe I can brave all fears.

When the last leaf falls ...
