# Dreamed a rich but Something wrong

I thought everything was perfect for me after I got a job(I was 26 years old). As soon as I graduated from university, I entered a big company thanks to my trying hard to be there. 

And it looked nice. Everywhere I go, many people tell me, 'You are so awesome to be in a big company.'

But it only goes on for one year. After that, it could be called a normal life. Normal elementary school, Normal middle school, normal high school, and university(which is good or not good in a point of specific view) following my Korean SAT point. Even though I tried hard to get into a big company, it is still normal.

It was just **an extension of the usual pattern**. Yes. it is. I have lived a normal life like other young people in Korea. 

It was when I had been 5 years into my career that I realized something strange. Something wrong. Can I become rich? How long does it take to be rich? And how long do I have to live this same life pattern? Is this a life I wanted to live?

There is something wrong with me(Exactly my life).

# Stock Investment

With these concerns, I began investing in stocks. Thanks to unexpected fortune, I have made my asset twice in just three years(I was 8 years into my career).

It was a boring time for me.  Because I read lots of books about stocks(especially for value investment).

Also, I was confronted by a historical long-term decrease season as soon as I started investment. It was a blizzard winter for every investor.

But although this winter was too cold, I have finally endured in this stock market. Thanks to surviving, I learned lots of lessons during this season.

- 1. Compound Interest is super magic.
- 2. The more I earn, the more I can invest.
- 3. Investing is a forever-game, not a short-term game.
- 4. The thing is a direction, not a speed.

Today, writing this post, honestly speaking, I don't have any seed money to invest. But with the above lessons, I decided to start **investing myself** from now on.

**As a first step, I chose a personal blog.**

The 4 Reasons Why I am Running a Personal Blog will be in the next post.

Thank you for reading, everyone.
