How I gained 54% YTD

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.” ...

How I Turned Heartbreak Into Energy (and Productivity)

🌸 How I Turned Heartbreak Into Energy (and Productivity) [Opening / Hook] “I fell in love, and he left. The longing almost destroyed me… But instead of breaking, I discovered how to turn love into my greatest source of energy.” With that energy, I woke up before 4am everyday, transformed my body, invested with clarity, and last week — I created 5 new videos. Now I’m challenging myself to make one video every single day. 🔹 Stage 1 — Longing Longing felt like emptiness. I wanted to reach out, to hold on, to not lose the connection. But he is rational. He replied to my email with encouragement — but not with love. Still, I couldn’t help but miss him. I wanted to message him. Instead, I sent an email. And then I found myself checking again and again, wondering when he would reply. That expectation caused energy leakage. ...

Managing Energy Like a Portfolio

Managing Energy Like a Portfolio Most people treat energy as if it’s random — some days high, some days low. But in the Energy Economy, energy is not random. It is manageable, investable, and compounding. Just like money, you can manage energy as a portfolio. Foundation Assets → Physical Energy Before growth, protection, or compounding, there must be a base: the body. Sleep → true rest restores reserves. Movement → walking, training, yoga keep energy circulating. Fuel → food choices (like quitting sugar) protect clarity and vitality. Physical energy is the foundation. Without it, every other asset collapses. Growth Assets → Expansion These are the energies that multiply when circulated. They expand outward. Love → The more you give, the more you receive. Service → Serving others doesn’t drain; it circulates energy. Vision → A clear future pulls energy forward and fuels action. Without growth assets, life becomes stagnant. With them, energy keeps expanding. ...

I Live in Paradox

I Live in Paradox Opening Paradox is not a contradiction to be solved, but light and shadow to be held. Integrating both sides of paradox creates wholeness and alignment. Paradox awakens depth and reveals the hidden patterns of life. Embracing paradox turns life into art. 1. Body & Energy Sleep paradox: Everyone uses night time to seek a sense of freedom, but it drains them further away from it. I live the opposite — by sleeping early, I wake into true freedom. Weight training paradox: Training costs energy in the moment, but gives me endless energy afterward. Discipline paradox: Restriction (bedtime, diet, gym, avoidance, rejection) feels limiting, yet it unlocks freedom. Diet/Flavor paradox: A strict diet makes me taste the great flavor of ordinary food. Limitation awakens appreciation. Rest paradox:taking time to rest at any moment (without pushing myself) in the day feels like slowing down, but it restores the strength to go further — in alignment. ...
