Investing Principles That Built My Life Hook (0:00 – 0:20) I gained 54% in my portfolio this year — but I wasn’t chasing risky stocks. I’m actually super conservative, holding 32% in cash. These gains weren’t luck; they came from inner wealth. As Warren Buffett says, ‘The most important investment you can make is in yourself.’ And in this video, I’ll share 6 powerful qualities I invest in — guiding me not just in the stock market, but in life itself. 1. Circle of Competence (0:20 – 1:00) “In investing, I only buy what I understand. That’s my circle of competence. My top holdings are TSM, Nvidia, and UNH — because they have strong moats and proven competence. Warren Buffett said, ‘The size of your circle of competence is not very important; knowing its boundaries is vital.’ There are thousands of companies in the world, but I only invest in the ones I understand and have the confidence to hold long term. In life, it’s the same. I don’t try to be everything. Right now, my circle is YouTube — because I know how to invest, I wake up before 4 a.m., I have abs at 40, I study mental models from investing and computer science, I alchemize negative emotions into energy for growth, and I’ve gone through awakening. These are my strengths, and I treat YouTube as a dojo to train my meta-skills. When I stay inside my circle, I move forward with clarity.” ...

My First Principles of Life, Wealth, and Growth I’ve realized something rare about myself: I naturally look for the root cause. Instead of staying on the surface, I keep asking “why” until I hit the foundation. Here are the first principles that guide my life, investing, and creative journey. 1. Energy Economy Surface belief: Productivity comes from time or money. Root truth: Productivity = Energy. First Principle: Master energy → time and money naturally align. 2. Investing Is an Energy Decision Surface belief: Investing is about analysis, charts, and IQ. Root truth: Money decisions reflect emotional energy (fear, greed, patience, clarity). First Principle: Wealth follows temperament → temperament is energy regulation. 3. Awakening Attracts Wealth Surface belief: Spiritual awakening and money are separate. Root truth: Awakening clears energy leaks → focus, patience, and alignment create wealth. First Principle: Inner clarity precedes outer wealth. 4. Consistency + Improvement Surface belief: Success comes from talent or luck. Root truth: Success is built by compounding consistency with small improvements. First Principle: Reps + feedback loops = mastery. 5. Content Creation Surface belief: Growth comes from chasing trends or viral topics. Root truth: True growth comes from documenting truth and improving 1% each video. First Principle: Authenticity + volume + compounding = authority. 6. Raw Model > Role Model Surface belief: A role model must appear perfect. Root truth: People trust rawness more than perfection. First Principle: Honesty + vulnerability inspire more than flawless images. 7. Body as Energy Vessel Surface belief: Fitness is about appearance. Root truth: A fit body is an energy vessel → clarity, confidence, productivity flow from it. First Principle: Strength and vitality are the foundation of presence. 8. Relationships as Mirrors Surface belief: Relationships are only about romance or companionship. Root truth: Relationships reveal inner patterns and awaken self-awareness. First Principle: Connection = mirror → growth tool, not just emotional bond. Conclusion When I trace everything back, it always leads to energy, clarity, discipline, compounding, and truth. These are my first principles. They shape how I live, how I invest, how I love, how I create, and how I grow. ...
