Quitting the job
I am quitting my job to do some web startup work and to build automated trading systems. Although I like my current job, this is an opportunity I do not want to pass up. I will be working with someone that I respect and think that I can learn a lot about business from. I will also get the chance to really work hard to build things that I am very interested in and passionate about.
My friend lent me the book “Atlas Shrugged” and, if you’ve read this blog much, you know that it has had a big impact on my thoughts about life. I call it “the best book that I never finished” because even though it had such an impact on me, I never finished the book because it is so long and repetitive.
But the biggest impact it had on my thinking is the idea of earned wealth - that “greed” for earned wealth can be an ethical pursuit, because when you accumulate it, you create something of value.
So my plan is to make a lot of money, but to earn every penny of it. I am going to work hard and create something of value.
As for this blog - at first I thought that I would have to cut back on posting and updates, because I would be working so much on other things. But the subjects of the other things overlap a lot with the subjects of this site, so I think that uglychart.com may even become more important to me and what I’ll be working on.
