What I have learned today [2015/6/30]


1. In India, there is a village of wrestlers who work as bouncers. A village of wrestlers...India could have its own WWF. That would be entertaining.

2. Charter plane for frequent commuter for 2000 a month from NYC to Boston. This is what I call aviation innovation. I just hope they still have to fly less because well flying does consume time and energy and produces pollution. Can't wait for virtual reality meetings :D

3. First 3D printed car. 3D printing will bring more customization to cars and also lower cost because we won't have to build massive factories but instead have small shops.

4. Male models get paid way less than female models. Should we start complaining? hmmmm...

5. There are no rivers in Saudi Arabia.

What I have learned today [2015/4/10]


1. According to a new survey, Saudi's spend most time on social media. I am surprised at this finding but also can understand it. Saudi Arabia is still very repressive and yet people want to express and communicate. I really hope that SNS brings more positive change to Saudi Arabia instead of being a recruiting ground by extreme terrorist groups.

2. To be a good investor, one has to be truly open minded. Ray Dalio clearly shows that you should question everything and not fall in love with anything. I still have lot to learn because I often become attached to certain investment thesis :(  Still learning everyday :D

3. You can maximize returns by purchasing Amazon gift cards online when there are online purchase rewards for Discover Financial Card.

4. Kindle books are quite expensive considering that old books sell less than a dollar. hmmm.

5. Writing posts everyday really requires discipline :D
