My Post

As soon as you start making something, difficulties you never imagined appear. I have been thinking about writing a guide to improving an investment strategy. But when I sat down to begin, I saw how much of my own approach still needed work. I do not want to write a cliché, and I want to use feedback on earlier articles to make this one better. So I keep tearing it down and starting again… Good work takes time. I have been reading articles and watching videos, trying to take in what is useful, lasting, simple, and clear, while my mind races to make sense of it all. The article I wrote yesterday about Chinese medicine came about in the same way. I finished it in an afternoon, but the thinking behind it stretched back more than three years. Many substantial articles have a similar history. A good article rarely springs fully formed from a sudden thought. It brings together years, sometimes decades, of experience and reflection. When someone seems to publish excellent work easily and often, perhaps their thinking has reached a point where the visible act of writing is only the natural result of long preparation. Remember: knowledge can compound even more remarkably than money…
