Family members, happy Dragon Boat Festival and wishing you peace and well-being!


Have you noticed? We often say “peace and well-being” during the Dragon Boat Festival—it’s quite interesting. It seems like only during the Dragon Boat Festival do people say “peace and well-being.” For other festivals, people mainly say “happiness.”
So why is that? I looked it up specifically.
Turns out it’s because the underlying “tone” of the Dragon Boat Festival is a bit different from Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Lantern Festival—those “reunion and festive” types of holidays.
The Dragon Boat Festival is more like a holiday of “warding off calamities, praying for safety, and commemorating.”
“An” (peace) means not letting outside fluctuations easily throw you off; “Kang” (well-being) means your body, mindset, relationships, and cash flow are all still able to hold up.
Isn’t that the underlying logic of investing?
Before you can live well, you first need to live steadily.
You can take advantage of today to think carefully: so far this year, what is the thing you’re most grateful for because you “kept a bit of room”?
It could be in terms of investing—for example, not going all-in, keeping some cash, or controlling an impulsive move.
It could also be in your life—for example, protecting your health, spending time with your family, reducing unnecessary consumption, and not pushing yourself too hard.
You can leave it in the comments—remind yourself clearly, and also serve as a warning to yourself.
Peace and well-being on the Dragon Boat Festival—I also wish that, amid the ups and downs, everyone can still keep their own rhythm.
