If you know anything about me

I realized that I am first and foremost a sharing person. That is what brought me to BlackRock. That is also why after spending several days doing research on flights (not just where, when and how to find cheap tickets but what dates, even what time frame suggest the best strategies to book them), I shared the information with everyone else who’s going on the trip. They call it time the market, probably.

I am exhausted to be honest. I remember my dad, who’s simply so good at everything. Seriously everything, painting the walls, putting together a wall, adjusting the floor, fixing broken furniture or the sink, he’s better than those so called professionals…These things sometimes detracts him because he has to spend time on this after all. Then he stays up late for his papers and assignment grading, as a professor.

For me, I remember how I used to spend all my independent-studies time to lead dance rehearsals in high schools, or portray pictures on the blackboard for the parents’ board meetings. A friend used to tell me, you work more because you’re good. True, well if God granted me certain gifts that I could take advantage of, the only thing I can think of is to share what I can get with other people. Sometimes I don’t even need a thank you. I just need you to trust me, stop arguing with me, and enjoy the free ride I’ll be offering.

Sounds too nice, almost untrue.

Hardly nice though, yet very true.

I realized what’s important to me. The thing I value the most, efficiency. Efficient and good attitude, I would love you. By efficient I mean do your homework, use all the research tools as much as you can, don’t ask questions that will make you look stupid, and when you communicate with other people, be concise, be reasonable, be right-to-the point. That’s how you build your reputation. Everyone’s time is limited. People would only want to waste their time in the way they want to waste it, and that by all means would not include listening to your rambling (there are exceptions, as always. Who defines exceptions? Yourself)

Sometimes I think my girlfriends want to be with me because I have many guy friends. Sometimes I think my guy friends want to be with me because I have many girlfriends.
Ok, so what? The fact is they are with me. If must still tells something about myself, so I shouldn’t think too much.

Yeah, life is beautiful as it is. Though sometimes I am pissed and I yell at you.
You are still beautiful.
