"The Last Battle of an Old Crypto Veteran: 5000U Survival Path" Day 12

Today's result: Loss/Breakeven

Picked through trash from large pools by comparing benchmark wallets and discovered some important issues. It's crucial to judge the depth of targets well. Some targets can cause point fluctuations with just a few U. Don't be fooled by pools that seem decent with 200 SOL. Like today when buying, the Price Impact showed -5%, meaning you estimated getting 5% cheaper than market price. Thought that was great, but right after buying it showed 5% unrealized loss. This is essentially very poor depth. Tomorrow I'll continue observing and exploring 10 more picks.

Wading Through the River Picking Stones Day 6

Today I watched Chapter 2 of "The Selection and Destiny Wheel," which resolved a question I had. Before this, I thought there seemed to be no stones to pick every day, since not every day brings emotionally significant events. But this version just asks you to start recording and journaling first—as Luffy said, recording the traces of the path, so you gradually see your own river clearly. How to record the journal: not recording transactions, not recording emotions and theories, but following this template:

1. What happened today—state only facts, without any commentary or perspective
2. What was my first reaction?
3. What did I actually want to get—see the desire
4. What am I actually afraid of—find the fear
5. What reasons did I make for myself, how did I rationalize it?
6. What stone did I pick up today—brief and concentrated summary
Record for some time, then look back and you'll notice some stones appear repeatedly—these are the big stones.
7. Next time I will do this—this is getting close to making choices, the target for later.

1. What was the most stirring thing today? During dinner, my daughter and son got into a fight over their feet bumping under the table. I got angry and said something like "Can't a family stay calm even with an accidental bump? Really?"

2. What was my first reaction? Angry, confused

3. What did I actually want to get (desire)? I wanted the two kids to get along, the family to be harmonious

4. What am I actually afraid of (fear)? Afraid the family atmosphere would be ruined

5. What reason did I make for myself? Kids don't know better, they'll grow out of it

6. What big stone did I pick up today? Fear of family discord

7. If I encounter the same thing tomorrow, how will I choose? Pick up greed, put down fear and embrace blessings: want the kids' emotions stable, so adults need to stabilize first. Next time when I say such reproaching words, it's really unnecessary—no need to lecture with big principles, treat it as a normal small matter and don't create emotion about it myself
