Daily Tipsy Wei Transforming

As I am approaching to 30, I am getting nervous that I am won't be able to achieve something few years later. Thus, starting 2021, I am going to make the goal every year so that I can track down how much I have been improving.

1. Passing CFA L2 exam: no need for explanation, getting CFA charter holder is my dream. I have to pass each exam in one shot so that I won't give up and I will achieve it.

2. Get in shape: I haven't really taken selfie for so many years after I gained 10kg. I want to be more confident about myself. So I am going to force myself to go on the diet and go to gym more often. No shape, no lady. Lol

3. Read a book per month: By getting more confident, getting shape is never enough. Connotation will be the core and reading is the best way to build connotation.  

4. Write two journals per week: Just wanna noted everything about my life, making sure that I am not wasting too much time on stupid stuff.

The first thing that I would like to share in 2021 will be passing the CFA Level 1 exam on Dec 2020. Although I had faith in myself right after the exam, I'm still happy to get the confirmation from the CFA. Passing the exam was not easy. It requires a lot of time to prepare. Thus, I would want to share some experience for whoever is preparing the exam.

  Firstly, you have made up your mind. Studying while working is really hard. You will be tired, frustrated, disappointed all the time. And you have to overcome these negative emotion otherwise you won't learn anything from it. Thinking differently, you are more familiar with financial industry everyday which is exciting.

  Secondly, research and make a game plan. There are a lot of people sharing their study plan on the Internet. Please do the research and make a game plan before you start studying. Trust me, spending a week making a game plan is definitely worth it. It will help you stay on the right tracks and keeping away falling behind. For me as an example, I watched some materials from the YouTube first and practice a lot of problems right after I finished a subject. Practicing is the key to master of knowledge.

  Last but not the least, de-stress, there will be at the point you won't be able to absorb anything because you are being too stress out. Close the book, does some exercise, eats something nice, do whatever can make you relax. Taking a break is for accomplishing a longer journey. The exam is not as hard as you think as long as you keep learning. Hope this is helpful.
