For those of us who grew up in families with average financial conditions, like me, a lot of so-called 'common sense' wasn’t something we knew until we were in our twenties.
For example, crooked teeth need braces, scoliosis needs correction, and mild myopia during adolescence can be significantly slowed down with orthokeratology lenses.
Taking care of and correcting your health is most effective during the golden period before the age of 18. Another example is being in a multilingual environment—kids learn languages more easily when they’re younger, and being in such an environment can also promote brain development.
Even though I’m now working on these corrections to be healthier and learning some new languages, it might feel a bit like perfectionism. Sometimes, late at night, I still feel a sense of regret—regret that, due to objective conditions, I couldn’t do the right things at the right time. Now, at this age, I’m just trying to make up for it.
Poverty limits vision and awareness, but I’m grateful that my past struggles taught me to value opportunities and understand how precious timing is. Just like investing, doing the right thing at the right time makes all the difference. For example, getting into Sol memes during the early stage—buying anything randomly would’ve likely hit $100M. But if you only start playing with Sol memes during the downtrend, even hitting $10M is tough.
