Cloud 006 : Another Perspective of Earning for a Living

Half year have past, although what I anticipated during the first month of the year never happen until now but I had gone through some enlightenment during that period. The enlightenment regarding life and meaning of it, that is not just about chasing dream and fame but to make a living for life.

For the past couple of weeks, I had attended two short talks which enlighten up my perspective about earning for a living. As a general, we knew there were a few ways of earning a living such as working for an employer, managing a business of your own or do freelancing and contract works. Most of us would still be working for a salary at the current age, or maybe a few have their business at a medium stage. Of course I fell under the first category for past 7 years.

It started when I begin reading Rich Dad Poor Dad back in 2005 and have a glimpse about personal finance management as a start, then I started trading around late 2007 as a beginner with small capital invested in stock market. At that time I didn't know much about stock market nor trading theory, so it makes no surprised that until today I didn't make a big income from my investment. But all those experiences, which I started as a alternate hobby to my artist career became a basic board for my understanding today. When I attended the two course, I felt that my understanding of trading had leap few ages forward.

The two course I attended are The Concept of Price and Track the Trend, which involves around trading but at 2 different major area. The first one was majorly involve in the knowledge of buying through prices in an index in US, while the latter was more about trend trading through stock market around the world. The two all involves on chart and graph reading for price buy sell decisions, this was the thing that got me so hooked on. I was interested to know about reading graphs back in the early days of my trading and never success in finding an understanding on catching the trend of trading which I was seeking. Now my understanding have broaden and I am more knowledgeable on this type of knowledge, greatly excited to be exact.

I haven't sign on the two courses for full time as I lacked the fund to do so at the moment, but it have became apparent to me that these would be my targets in the near 6 months or so. Hoping this would be an alternate fate that might change my destiny for my remaining years of life, I greatly anticipating in learning it as to seek the next dream of my goal which is called Financial Freedom...
