<strong>disciplined about when to deploy capital</strong>.</p><p>In the meantime, it makes sense to <strong>keep capital working</strong> by investing in coupon bonds, dividend stocks, or, from my experience, the broader market through ETFs, so it can <strong>generate returns</strong>. As the market grows, one can slowly take profits and redeploy that capital into undervalued stocks when opportunities arise.</p><p>This approach allows me to <strong>stay invested at all times</strong> while gradually reallocating capital in a way that generates bigger returns over the long term - by adding on to undervalued positions.</p><p>I can benefit from market gains, take profits at certain points, and then use that cash to invest in undervalued businesses.

surprising effects of living a nonlinear life, of doing nonlinear things, or at least about what happened to me, and what I like to think of as the art of a nonlinear life.</p><p>Most of us are put onto a very linear path early on.</p><blockquote><p>We go to school. <br>We play sports. <br>We eat at the same time.<br>We get a full-time job.</p></blockquote><p>And all of a sudden, our days become structured in a very linear way.</p><p>We&#8217;re required to put in the same hours. We&#8217;re required to meet at the same time. We&#8217;re required to do this, and this, and this, every single day.</p><p>And we get tired of having to follow this pattern.</p><p>What&#8217;s interesting is that even the people who design these systems themselves don&#8217;t actually like living in them. </p><p>The structure collapsed at scale.</p><p>I also <em>don&#8217;t believe</em> the answer is to make life completely non-linear, where you do one thing today, something totally different tomorrow, and never have any structure.</p><p>That kind of chaos isn&#8217;t sustainable either.</p><p><strong>What we should do, is to </strong><em><strong>sprinkle non-linear activities into our day</strong></em><strong>.</strong></p><p>These are the things we&#8217;re curious about. The things we&#8217;re okay letting loose on top of our linear responsibilities.</p><p>You still show up. You still do the work. But alongside that, you allow space for exploration, without demanding immediate results.</p><p>Over time, something interesting happens: the results of those nonlinear activities begin to reveal themselves. That&#8217;s when you start to see what Charlie Munger called the <em>lollapalooza effect</em> - multiple nonlinear efforts compounding together to produce outsized results through the combination of many small, curious, and seemingly unrelated pursuits.</p><p>Another way to think about non-linearity is through <em>self-designed</em> <em>living</em>: </p><blockquote><p>Force yourself to design your own life if you haven&#8217;t yet.</p></blockquote><p>As long as it isn&#8217;t self-destructive, do activities you&#8217;re curious about and stay with them long enough for them to become part of your life. It can be something simple, like reading, which doesn&#8217;t sound exciting at all! It just needs to work well enough to give you space to think, explore, and build things that are different from others.</p><p><strong>Even within the things you do, there are non-linear paths to explore</strong>. <br>You don&#8217;t have to do exactly the way they&#8217;ve always been done. There&#8217;s always room to explore a different angle, a new approach, when you give yourself permission to look for it.</p><p>To me, that&#8217;s the only way to get non-linear results: take non-linear actions and explore paths most people don&#8217;t take.</p><p>Paths only you would. </p><div><hr></div><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.therickythai.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading The Ricky Thai !

Environment and experience are factors that shape this lens, which in turn influence how we describe and explain things. That&#8217;s why, when you have problems, you often seek someone else to share your thoughts with&#8212;sometimes, if you&#8217;re lucky, they can help you describe and explain the problem better.</p><p>Ask two people to describe a dog, and you'll get different answers. Each person might choose a different breed, color, size, or shape. One might keep it generic, while another may prefer to go in-depth about a specific breed. Some might ask for more context if they're being thoughtful, and want to give a better answer. Some might struggle to describe a dog because language and communication aren&#8217;t their strengths.</p><p>Sometimes, people with language disabilities may find it hard to form a concrete description. This may cause a disadvantage, as they struggle to build a foundation for understanding the event, and they might fail to form the right behavior, take the right action, or avoid making decisions altogether.</p><p>Your perception, shaped by language, leads to your own interpretation &#8212; and that dictates your choices. If you want to make better choices, maybe the first step is to start with the right description.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hardest part of writing]]></title><description><![CDATA[The hardest part of writing isn&#8217;t writing itself, but thinking.]]></description><link>https://www.therickythai.com/p/the-hardest-part-of-writing</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.therickythai.com/p/the-hardest-part-of-writing</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ricky Thai]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 10 Aug 2025 10:16:12 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/6d2c2a3e-dca2-4ed5-ba92-9469f013fca6_1260x900.png" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The hardest part of writing isn&#8217;t writing itself, but thinking.</p><p>Half-baked thinking leads to half-baked text.</p><p>Instead, complete thoughts are the foundation of good writing.</p><p>Spend a large amount of time gathering <em>evidence</em>:</p><ul><li><p>The <em>actions</em> you have taken.</p></li><li><p>The <em>projects</em> you have completed.</p></li><li><p>The <em>lessons</em> you have learned.</p></li><li><p>The <em>people</em> you have met.</p></li><li><p>The <em>stories</em> you have remembered.</p></li></ul><p>Then assemble them in an outline.

Buffett</p></blockquote><p>Minimizing risk requires a great deal of pre-thinking before engaging in any business activity or decision-making. Clear thinking doesn't mean you stop thinking. It means tackling problems from every angle, considering the main issues at different layers. It's like peeling an onion, examining each layer without skipping any to reach the core. Throughout this process, you verify each angle of the problem until you're finished.</p><p>Many people approach investing with thinking, but not the right thinking. If you pick the wrong way to think, no matter how hard you think, you can still get to the wrong conclusion. It&#8217;s like thinking a fish can fly or the earth is flat, and then finding all the premises that confirm your way of thinking. It&#8217;s a cool exercise but not an effective one to get the result you want, which is the return on your money.</p><p>Right thinking in investing is picking the right principles first and then developing your strategy around those principles. For example, a right principle is that investment is the present value of future cash flow&#8212;that&#8217;s the right principle. But picking stocks based on the opinion of a trusted broker who tells you that this gold piece, land, or stock is going to go up isn&#8217;t the right principle. Another principle is the margin of safety, where you approach buying stock when it&#8217;s selling below the estimated intrinsic value over time.</p><p>Wishful thinking isn&#8217;t thinking. If your thinking relies on a <em>wish</em> to be true, that&#8217;s not the thinking you want to have. You&#8217;re hoping for the event to happen instead of trying to understand the subject and understanding what will happen.</p><h3>Financial plan for family and kids</h3><p>The moment you get married and potentially have kids, you will need to get your financial planning and practices in order. There is no single right way to do it because each family has different needs and wants. Therefore, you also want to approach this topic with some principles in mind.</p><p>What do you want for your family financially?</p><p>For me, I would first look at the concept of <em>family wealth</em>. You&#8217;re probably working, and your wife may or may not be. How will both of you implement practices to protect your wealth? Well, you will need a savings plan. You need some form of investment in assets that grow your wealth overtime.  If you have debt&#8212;whether on credit cards, mortgages, or business debt&#8212;how much are you willing to take on, and what&#8217;s the plan to pay it back based on your income?</p><p>And when you have kids, what do you think about a financial plan for them by the time they grow up? They will need food, they will ask you to buy them toys, and you may have to pay for their schooling and education.</p><p>Eventually, your kids will have to take responsibility for their own money management&#8212;the earlier, the better. This means that from the moment they start asking you to buy them things, they need an awareness of how money is being spent. They should understand the value of what they get, along with the effort it took to earn the money to buy it. It doesn't have to be a big lesson each time, but you want to ensure they understand that the toy they get is bought with money and effort.</p><h3>It's a mistake to try to do everything</h3><p>Trying to do everything and anything? That&#8217;s a recipe for disaster. It&#8217;s better to focus on one thing at a time&#8212;better yet, one thing consistently over time.</p><p>Being able to do many things sounds great when you're just starting out. You need that hustle, that openness to opportunities. But the key is learning to say no to everything else&#8212;every other opportunity&#8212;so you can make the one thing you&#8217;ve picked work out decently.</p><p>It may be a job you have, but it&#8217;s not moving as fast as you want. It may be a business you just started, but there aren&#8217;t enough customers. It may be an investment in an asset, but you have yet to see a return. The key is to stick with the decision you&#8217;ve made long enough to figure out the next advanced step and solution to unlock that success.</p><h3>False expectation</h3><p>False expectations come from seeing the world as you wish it to be, rather than as it truly is. This inevitably leads to mismatched results, which then lead to disappointment.</p><p>The happiest person has no expectations. The second happiest has low expectations. The worst off are those with high expectations, and the very worst are those with entitlement&#8212;expecting everything to go their way.</p><h3>Management is figuring out what to do first</h3><p>If you&#8217;re working hard but staying stuck or not moving forward, it means you&#8217;ve been working on the wrong thing. You can work tirelessly watching videos about riding bicycles, but if you never hop on a bike to pedal, you&#8217;ll never learn to ride a bike. </p><p>Figuring out what to work on is probably the hardest skill one can learn. It&#8217;s what separates the dreamer who watches videos, the doer who takes action, and the winner who figures out the right things to do along the way.</p><h3>Management and prioritization</h3><p>Management is not easy. If it were, you would never complain about your life, your work, or your schedule. You wouldn&#8217;t hear other people complain about those things either. And in business, management goes beyond just yourself&#8212;you have to manage projects, deadlines, and interactions with others.</p><p>Management is also about prioritization. They go together, but I believe mastering prioritization brings you closest to mastering management. The way you prioritize, update, and improve tasks with your team&#8212;and how you motivate them to stay focused&#8212;that&#8217;s the art of management.</p><p>Improvement takes time, and that applies to management as well. It&#8217;s easy to mistake the priority for the easiest task, but true prioritization is about identifying the hardest, biggest task&#8212;the one that, once completed, knocks out all the smaller tasks at once.</p><p>Doing your laundry or cleaning your house won&#8217;t make you less anxious about your work assignment, the project that needs to be finished, closing a deal with a client, or getting into shape. In fact, tackle the assignment, make progress on the project, talk to your client, go for a run&#8212;and this might sound crazy&#8212;say no to even thinking about doing your laundry or cleaning your house. Do those small tasks later, once you&#8217;ve finished the big one, or hire someone to take care of them.</p><p>A great manager can consistently knock out his priorities better than the rest.</p><h3>Things aren&#8217;t easy by default when you want to achieve them</h3><p>Nothing gets easier; it only gets harder. Easiness means you've stalled. Leveling up is never easy. To achieve something, you need a plan, a vision, hope, wish, etc. and the determination to keep working hard. You must utilize your time, resources, and everything at your disposal to reach your goal. </p><p>So if anyone tells you that something&#8212;like making money&#8212;is easy, ask them: What does it take? What time, resources, energy, and risks are involved? Make sure they can explain it clearly, step by step, and outline the actions needed for it to work.</p><h3>Old Chinese proverb I recently learned</h3><p>An old Chinese proverb I recently learned:</p><blockquote><p><em>"If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody."</em></p></blockquote><p>I&#8217;ve been a tutor and a teacher, and one of the things I&#8217;ve found in tutoring and teaching is the joy of helping students learn and achieve their goals. Every time I do this, I feel genuinely happy. </p><p>Perhaps this quote speaks some truth behind that experience.</p><p>That&#8217;s a wrap for today!</p><p>Ricky </p><p></p><p></p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[How to Improve Decision Making?]]></title><description><![CDATA[What I often do to improve making decisions...]]></description><link>https://www.therickythai.com/p/how-to-improve-decision-making</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.therickythai.com/p/how-to-improve-decision-making</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ricky Thai]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 11 Nov 2024 03:21:01 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/88ec3787-2df4-4849-a66e-599a3e1463b9_1260x900.png" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>A quote I like: &#8220;You cannot make progress without making decisions.&#8221; - Jim Rohn</p></blockquote><p>I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about how to improve everyday decisions lately.

It could be a new subject, skill, or habit that I find useful.</p><p>I call it the <strong>Listen - Read - Do </strong>Framework. </p><h3>Listen to Know</h3><p>Listen when you hear something interesting. It could come from a conversation with a friend, a podcast you follow, a class, a board meeting&#8212;anywhere your ear picks up sound.</p><p>There are different levels of listening: beginner, intermediate, and master. To me, a beginner listener is someone who listens to understand but lacks the skill to ask in-depth questions. They still listen, but they struggle to ask the kind of questions that lead to deeper knowledge.</p><p>An intermediate listener knows how to listen and ask questions, which helps them get to the core of the subject faster than the beginner.</p><p>An expert listener has both of these skills, but what sets them apart is their genuine curiosity. They don&#8217;t care whether the other person listens back or not. Their curiosity drives genuine interest, and they keep asking questions to unlock deeper levels of understanding.</p><h3>Read to Think</h3><p>Reading helps you learn a subject in depth. The advantage of reading is that it presents ideas clearly in text. If the author did a great job, they shorten the time it takes you to move from curiosity to understanding. Reading sharpens your thinking by helping you comprehend knowledge better.</p><p>Without text, you may have an idea of a subject, but not in the correct order. It&#8217;s like seeing the alphabet as DCJTU instead of ABCDE. With the right order, your understanding of the subject improves, making it easier to apply it to your life.</p><h3>Do to Understand</h3><p>No matter how well you know something, to the point that you say you understand it. Your understanding is &#8220;about&#8221; the subject, but not to the point of doing the subject.&nbsp;</p><p>It&#8217;s like a subject researcher (nothing against them, and I love research); what researchers do is they research the subject to the point that they know &#8220;about&#8221; the subject in depth, but to do, synthesize, or create, you have to take action. Through action, you test your assumptions, reasoning, and understanding. You will fail on many occasions and succeed in a few. That&#8217;s why when you take action, you change your behavior. You force yourself to act, and through failure, you adjust your approach until your actions bring results.</p><p>You listen to know, read to think, and do to understand.

pay, value is what you get.</em>&#8221;</p></blockquote><p>This idea is widely used by professional investors around the world. The &#8220;price&#8221; refers to what you spend&#8212;whether it's money or the time you invest in something.&nbsp;</p><p>In investing, you often don&#8217;t have control after you've made an investment. Unless you're in private equity, where investors have the power to influence the business, that level of control is rare. As an investor, what you can control is your research and evaluation of the business.&nbsp;</p><p>When you build a business as an entrepreneur, you do have control over what you pay, such as negotiating for raw materials or setting an employee&#8217;s salary. </p><p>But you don&#8217;t always know the true value of someone or something until you actually use it. Human often misjudge the value of things, either underestimate or overestimate them, until they have paid for or use them.&nbsp;</p><p>For example, you only discover how valuable an employee is after working with them for weeks or months. </p><p>Entrepreneur must understand how to manage costs&#8212;like offering a salary or bonuses&#8212;before fully recognizing someone&#8217;s true value. Over time, if an employee provides more value than expected, the business can gradually invest more in them, either by raising their salary or offering bonuses.</p><p>We want to pay the lowest price possible when starting out&#8212;whether as investors or entrepreneurs&#8212;to give ourselves enough time to realize the value of the business. This helps us stay in business and manage the downside risks that can occur, such as running out of cash or facing bankruptcy.</p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Human Capital

These skills help us perform tasks that give meaning, discover opportunities, and contribute to the environment we live in.</p><p>However, at some point, we encounter limitations in how these skills serve us.</p><p>For example, if you&#8217;ve learned algebra, it helps you understand numbers and how to add, subtract, multiply, etc. You might get an A in your class or exam, but as you progress, you see less emphasis on algebra in your daily tasks. Nobody asks you to solve X and Y equations at work.</p><p>So, you have to transition to a higher skill level&#8212;maybe by learning accounting, finance, or Excel. These tools may be much more relevant to what you need to do, whether it&#8217;s writing that report or ultimately getting paid.</p><p>But human capital isn&#8217;t enough&#8212;you cannot rely solely on it to scale your impact.</p><p>There is a limit to how many reports you can write in a day, how many Excel spreadsheets you can complete, or how many people you can teach. At this point, human capital becomes a constraint. It prevents you from making the greater impact you could achieve.</p><p>When this happens, you need to rely on another form of capital&#8212;<strong>social capital</strong>.</p><p>Social capital refers to the skills you learn from people or networks. These skills are harder to acquire but also more powerful because they create a two-way impact loop:</p><ol><li><p>The first impact is from you to your network.</p></li><li><p>The second impact is from the network back to you.</p></li></ol><p>In contrast to human capital&#8212;such as learning algebra&#8212;where you are the one who gains the benefit (not the algebra itself), social capital allows for mutual learning. When you learn from someone, they can also learn from you and benefit from your input.</p><p><strong>Building social capital isn&#8217;t easy.</strong><br>It requires constant effort, dedication, and soft skills in addition to the hard skills of human capital. These soft skills include:</p><ul><li><p>Listening</p></li><li><p>Communication</p></li><li><p>Problem-solving</p></li><li><p>Empathy</p></li></ul><p>You need to meet people, talk to them, ask questions, and understand their behaviors. This helps build relationships, which ultimately contribute to social capital.</p><p>Many people approach building social capital the wrong way, focusing on what they can get from their network rather than offering value first&#8212;or sometimes not offering value at all. If your primary goal is to take rather than give, you risk coming across as insincere, which can undermine the impact you could have.</p><p>To make social capital work, you need to start by giving&#8212;whether it&#8217;s sharing knowledge, ideas, goodwill, positivity, or even something as simple as a thank-you message. Letting people know you&#8217;re thinking of them is a small but meaningful gesture.</p><p>As you move through life, it&#8217;s important to shift your focus between building human capital (hard skills) and social capital (soft skills). Mastering both will make you more effective and valuable in the environment you live and work in.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Endure the Thought
