Why I Write This (and for Whom)

Business is hard.

Trading is hard.

Parenthood is hard—they say.

And they are right.

Common wisdom is usually right.

But if we all accepted that common wisdom was the only way to live, well… we wouldn’t have much technological advancement, probably no banking system — and Frodo would never, ever go on an adventure.

What kind of world would it be if there weren’t a few who broke the rules?

How I understand this is: when someone clings to life too tightly—avoiding risk, refusing to go beyond what’s safe—they never truly live.

Hard things bring deep satisfaction.

But they require devotion.

There’s something counterintuitive about life: when we finally find comfort, we often become bored and dissatisfied.

So even when we don’t want to—we must remain active to stay sane.

Physical tiredness after a day of honest work brings quiet joy.

A day lost to scrolling social media brings only sadness, loneliness, and a drop in self-confidence.

So—trading is hard.

I agree.

Parenting is hard.

I agree.

But was there anything in my life that helped me grow as much as those two?

No. Nothing.

Not all the other things combined.

Even my engineering work supervising the construction of a new nuclear power plant—where I learned the brutal importance of clear communication, coordination, and emotional intelligence across cultures and specialties—didn’t teach me a fraction of what trading and parenthood did.

These two taught me what it means to execute my own ideas.

To be responsible for planning and taking action.

To stay accountable twenty-four hours a day.

To keep a steady face, even when struggling inside.

I wish I had known these things earlier.

So—I’m writing this for my children.

For the next generation.

If they won’t listen to me now, maybe one day they’ll read it.

And for anyone else who wants to know:

I’ll bring together life and markets, and explain why everyone—absolutely everyone—should get involved.
