Changed the fitted sheet today, so it definitely won't be as cold when I sleep.

I had been using a summer fitted sheet, which was too cold.

Went to Meiguo at noon for the 398 set meal. Not sure what I ate, it wasn't good, too flashy.

In the afternoon, I drove my dad back to the countryside. Saw neighbors playing the national game—one had a ten-thousand-point hand, another had a fifty-point hand, both big wins.

There's an interesting thing about playing mahjong: you can win by drawing the winning tile yourself, or by claiming a tile discarded by someone else.

Self-draws win you more.

So sometimes, some people keep waiting for a big self-draw, but end up missing out on a lot.

If you win by taking someone else's discard, the winnings aren't as big, but you take profit when it's there.

This is similar to the crypto space.

Claiming someone else's discard = selling "too early" but still making a profit

Self-draw = catching a big wave

But the two outcomes are different.

If you keep claiming others' discards, in crypto you'll always be doing okay, but people often feel regret, thinking they never hit that one financial freedom moment.

Self-draw is like achieving financial freedom in one go, but the odds are very low, and often when you should have profited, you end up losing—in crypto terms, essentially going to zero.

I've been thinking about this a lot today.

From now on, I want to be the type who takes profit when the opportunity appears.

Unless I'm very confident and have a strong feeling about it, only then will I hold out for the self-draw.
