Financial Crisis, We are Not Afraid or Scared

Some reader left a note on my Chinese blog saying that not everyday is full of sunshine and asking if I am interested in commenting on the financial crisis in US.

We did not worry. Our investment approach has been long-term, current market downturn does not concern us. As logic evaded, confidence dwindled in the market and surprises burst, we start to care about potential impact on our near future too.

We care, but we are not afraid or scared.

Our self-confidence and affection for each other sits independently from titles/positions and income numbers. We have diversified interests and and some of which are independent from financial situation. Even if our income is impacted, the quality of our lives will not.

I am passionate about life and good at creating fun, I can also detach myself from many worldly stuff, but I have moments of being bothered by things and people. K, never. He is always optimistic, cheerful, happy. Any negative thoughts or emotions is not worthy to him. His attitude has been a positive influence on me.

Our biggest asset lies in our love for each other, not our income or investments. From dating to marriage, in the past six years, our relationship has always been sweet and intimate, relaxing and happy. There was never any argument or distrust or discomfort. Having such a relationship already makes us wealthy and fortunate.

In life or work, the most important element is people. People can improve and create anything, people can damage and destroy anything. If you are surrounded by people who are worthy of your time and thoughts, any difficulty can be overcome.

Because of these, we are not afraid or scared.
