b.Capital - The Inner Core

The last part is here:   Capital - Investment Style

Sigh ... I have written about this many, many times before, but, no one seems to understand. 一念天堂，一念地狱。

Many guys go through education and not knowing why they are in it in the first place. Lots of these guys thought that since I wouldn't use the knowledge gained from books and education, I shouldn't waste money going to school, but instead, go straight to work and learn from the market and become a graduate from the streets.

This is so sad. Many guys don't understand that the fastest way to learn their weapon-of-choice is through education. What can be easier than being spoon-fed from the bottle in school?

A bachelor degree will allow the guy to break free from the mother's apron tie. His 思维 will enable him to learn things independently. He does not need help from any quarters. He is his own man. Given enough thinking, he will be able to solve his own problem-sum.

A master degree, as the name implies, will allow the guy to run a group of bachelors and commandeer them to work. His 思维 will enable him to coordinate attacks on cities and land. He will move men by mind-fucking them. He is a leader and manages resources. Given enough thinking, he will be able to build empires. He has solved the 3-dimensional space problem.

A doctorate degree will allow the guy to return to his basics. He questions every single class norms. He does not take what he sees as the truth. He questions about the illusion that the incident provides. His 思维 will enable him to build timeless machines to calm his clan. Given enough thinking, he will transcend the time dimension.

Given a choice, I would defer my entry into the market place as late as possible and get spoon-fed by the kind masters of the trade. 

A strong guy is normally in the science discipline, but there are indeed numerous exceptions. My partner-in-crime is not only scientific and analytical, he is also a historian. He knew history of mankind at the back of his hand, he therefore able to explain philosophically why things happened the way they were. Lessons are learned and mistakes avoided. A very pleasant outcome indeed.

Attack the issue at hand only from philosophical point of view. Only then will you find peace.

If you must, learn to play GO. The rules are simple. There are only black and white stones. Every stone is important. Every move is permanent, i.e., once move is placed, the stone will stay till the end of the game. This stone will either help in the attack or be eaten alive if wrongly decided by the general. The stone's fate is fixed. It can't be moved. Once placed, it has no more freedom. The stone's usefulness will either be a lifetime or cut short by circumstances. Such is the fate of the stone. Unmoving, unchangeable. It can be a game changer, a useless by-stander or a sacrificial lamb. Each stone is equally important and equally cunning. Life is also like the game of GO, once move is made, it can't be changed. Therefore, contemplate and re-contemplate each move. There are not many possible moves in life. Like what 柴九 said:
人生有几多个十年，最紧要痛快。
