lessons

1. Always have a plan, practice and collect data, in that way you'll have mental strength to deal with pressure
2. People look for a perfect ten as if it's hidden somewhere in the brain. I might as well keep trying and keep getting disappointed. Maybe the judgement criteria is wrong as opposed to the misfit. I have some high expectations for something I haven't done and it's likely to lead to disappointment. Maybe the fame, success, feeling of importance, uncertainty and the thrill attract me, as such that unless I have those, I'll never feel ten. Maybe I find it frustrated not able to naturally outperform others, which makes me upset, and find an excuse.
3. Keith said I enjoy dealing with people and qualitative aspects, which is in contrary to everything I believe before but may well be truth. I find it much cooler to follow arguments and have one that really stands out. Working with numbers sounds sexy but proves less interesting.
4. Risk parity investing centers on two ideas: stable risk premium and long-term mean reversion. In the short term, stocks market is dominated by idiosyncratic risk. Market is trending so not necessarily suitable for risk parity investing.
5. Connecting and having genuine concerns for others. Being a good person might be more important than be good at work.
6. Always sell yourself, think twice, you can't say you are not good at something when an opportunity arises. Try to seize any good opportunity. Make yourself more important. Don't be downsizing yourself. For example, when bhanu asks me about my background, I shouldn't act that humble.
7. Don't 钻牛角尖，stand outside the box for a second, if a problem cannot be solved, find a way to bypass it. Being efficient is more important.
8. Look for the information that hasn't been utilized yet.
9. When you have a stats or argument, think beyond the stats, find what it comes from, think of multiple ways to interpret the data, and fit it into a general framework. For instance, when unemployment fall and wage yoy, you should check the possibility that labor force is down.
10. When facing an argument, start with the argument on the other side, and contradict it with their logic. This way, they will not resist the idea and if you do good, they cannot argue it either.
11. Always start from a simple-line thinking, straightforward hypothesis. For example, in thinking about how short-term interest rate impacts on the growth, start with a simple definition of output and go from there.
12. 不要主动改变，不要多疑，不要窥视别人的秘密
13. Ask about the context before working on something.
14. Don't mention too much about the unpleasant experience before. Although it changes now, discomfort can be felt. Avoid the topic of me dating other girls, she hates that. It actually won't cause her to be jealous, only feel annoying.
15. 打扮的比较干净温暖，不要那种粗犷的感觉
16. 有不同意见先告诉对方具体的情境，不要马上玻璃心，同时不要假设她不直接
