Abstract generation in progress

Four years went by quickly. I started getting involved in stocks in November 2019, began dedicating more effort in March 2022, and went full-time in November 2023.
It’s been 26 months of full-time trading.
I’ve experienced many of the emotional journeys that predecessors have gone through.
Not much growth.
Slapped myself in the face.
Dreaming of enlightenment.
Still no results.
The confidence I had in the 8 years of ten-thousand-fold growth is no longer so certain.
I also calculate how much I lose each day—like a few cans of milk powder.
I’ve watched videos to control my emotions.
Slow is fast—I just can’t understand it.
I’ve read the quotes from mentors over and over again.
My funds are still decreasing little by little.
On October 10, 2025, I made my first ETH contract and got liquidated in 5 minutes.
No luck.
In November 2025, I got pneumonia, very serious.
After that, I think I understood some things.
I can’t quite explain what.
I no longer really want to make a lot of money.
Debt doesn’t seem like a big deal anymore.
Life really passes quickly.
Keep going.
