The Path of Compound Interest: A Journey of Earning by Making Friends with Time
Reinvesting dividends is the accelerator of compound interest. It may not feel significant at first, but as long as you are willing to persist, even if you repeat the most ordinary actions year after year, slowly, you will see a qualitative change. Just as it was said in the live broadcast: you need to have the spirit of 'Yugong Yishan' – without taking small steps, you won't reach far.
Don't be anxious just because your principal is small; this actually shows that you are young. Being young means time is on your side. As long as you are willing to accumulate bit by bit, there will come a day when it all falls into place. What you invest little now may yield more in the future. When you reach the end of your life, this wealth accumulated through time and patience will definitely not be a small amount.
If you want to achieve a turnaround through compound interest, you must first overcome three challenges of human nature: understand it, adapt to it, and then learn to approach it differently. Only by controlling your desires and holding yourself with ironclad discipline can you break free from shackles and truly attain 'financial freedom,' 'mental freedom,' and 'freedom in life' – ultimately, true freedom begins with self-control.
Value investing is not just a way to make money; it is more like a journey of cultivation: it tests human nature, reflects on life, and engages in dialogue with the world. It provides you with a stable place in your heart and responds to our curiosity about the world. You will find that this journey of cultivation is not just for money, but to live more clearly.
