Through the first half of 2022: ♠️ Blew up $60K trading and investing on the crazy stock market 😫 ♥️ Found some good friends that I can count on 👌 ♣️ Ate too much good food 🥘 ♦️ Got banned or backed off by most casinos for counting cards in blackjack 🤷🏻‍♂️ I also spent thousands of dollars on pay-to-win mobile games (deceptively free-to-play) games which I am not so proud of. But that’s what it means to actually try something new in life. Not every risk was worth taking. However, I learned more about what I want and don’t want in my life. “Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.” - Maya Angelou It’s time to get back on track for the second half of 2022: 📚Study to improve on poker by analyzing simulations and learning from other pros 🎤 Show up on social media more consistently (4-5 times a week would be good) 🥾Go hiking at nearby parks and trails for exercise #lessonslearned #lessonslearnedinlife #pokerlife #takingrisks #takingchances #lasvegasnevada #vegaslife #vegasliving #agame #upyourgame #levelupyourlife

Celebrate yourself every day because you are my sunshine ☀️ When people asked me what keeps me going despite strong negative criticism, I said, “I do it because my entertainment brings joy to other people’s lives.” It’s a choice for how you see yourself and how you value yourself. #youaremysunshine #loveyourself #bekindtoyourself #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawarness #loveyourlife #lovingyourself #valueyourself #trustyourjourney #trustyourself

You probably heard about how I openly shared about my struggles with finance and why I will keep going no matter what. But when I decided to go forward with my entertainment business, I knew I did not have the raw singing talent. However, I was tired of how some critics said I portray Asian stereotypes and I set back my own race. Or I don’t deserve to be in the entertainment business. Although I understand how the media played a negative role and I may have added fuel to this situation, I believe everyone has a right to try something new without being judged or ridiculed. In life, you can’t always wait until you are fully ready to go for something you want. Over the years, I can see and feel how I brought joy and smiles to people’s faces too with my entertainment. This is why I will keep going. So check out this podcast interview with @storytellingschool to learn more about how you can take control of your own story. #stopasianhate #shareyourstory #shareyourheart #tellyourtruth #putyourselffirst #honestlyworded #honestlygood #sharethetruth #tellthetruth #authenticself

I am very disappointed at myself 🤦🏻 I lost over $30K this month with my long-term investing portfolio. But gambling in the stock market is NOT the solution either. I thought it’s normal for me to win and lose thousands of dollars a day at the casino based on what I do: playing poker and blackjack professionally for profit. However, I spent months and years to study to build a consistent winning routine. I haven’t done that yet for trading stocks and options! I was too overconfident with my abilities. Not only did I make too many trades, but I risked way too much too much money each trade and got punished by the market with much bigger losses than wins. In other words, I am making things worse by putting myself in a deeper hole. Perhaps I should be grateful that I am only losing an additional $15K instead of everything I have now. Because if I were to go on a winning streak instead, I could end up blow up all my money. Please don’t make this same mistake. I know to do that for my professional gambling. Why am I so dumb and not realize this for my trading? It’s not a surprise that professional traders who last a long time only trade 1% of their account size. This means if they have $10,000, their max risk is $100 per trade. I thought about just handing my finances to a financial advisor but I believe in myself that I can learn a lifelong skill to build wealth for long term. That’s why I will stick with it. Educating yourself to take control of your finance is the best gift you can give to yourself. #gamblingproblem #tradingstocks #tradingoptions #financialfreedom #stophustling #perseverance #notgivingup #noexcuses #riskmanagement #riskybusiness #takingrisks #mindsetmatters #smartidea #smartinvestor #smartinvesting #learnfromyourmistakes
