第一次有想過做blogger的念頭，已經是好幾年前的事情。
當初表達這個想法的時候，朋友的反應通常也是很錯愕吧。
為甚麼有這個想法呢？
記得最初是因為自己想收集和學習個人理財的資訊，認識到FIRE movement，Financial Independence Retire Early，發現了不少前輩的網誌。
初時純粹是一個讀者，但看著看著，覺得對自己有所啟發真好，然後就開始想：
「我有沒有可能成為他們呢？」
「如果我也可以有這種影響力就好。」
其實一直以來，內心都有很多想法被自己抑壓著。
也有種「想改變世界的理想」。
再加上人生遇到的各種人、事、物，我的心中早已經有一幅拼圖。
瞭解我的朋友會對我說「羨慕你能想到這麼多概念又會解決問題啊」 (好吧，有點自戀吧...)
不過這也是與一般人截然不同的世界觀。
這時矛盾就開始出現了，作為內向的我，跟別人解釋很麻煩啊。
儘管心中的圖畫是清晰的，這副拼圖卻有非常非常多的碎片，而且錯綜複雜，連自己也不太知道應該從那一塊開始說起。
加上主要還是懶惰吧，拖延症發作、生活又過得還好啦，變成一直都是只說不做的狀態。
最近，我的人生即將迎接重大轉變，有部分朋友也知道了。
感覺這也是個讓自己開始的好時機。
後記：雖然不介意其他人知道blog主的真正身份，也不介意自己的朋友知道自己有想當blogger的傾向，不過感覺也想將「博客主」和「自己」兩個身份保留界線，希望大家能注意著就好了。
還有很多熱心的朋友，知道我有意寫blog後，曾經給過我很多「怎樣寫blog發大財」的ideas給我。
不過心裡其實還是比較希望寫點使大家有共鳴又覺得有用的東西，這就能滿足到我了。
在世界上很多地方，還是有很多百年小店用心的經營著，他們沒有連鎖集團的財力，卻憑用心與鄰里建立著深厚的關係，我覺得這樣也挺好的。
所以看來我現在還是佛系宣傳自己的網誌算了，如果讀者看了覺得有共鳴，再share出去，我已經覺得很滿足了。
未來的日子，其實感覺自己一段時間內還是會比較忙，應該還不會很頻密的發文。
不過可能也是好事吧，可以給自己時間和空間去改進，明白自己一定還有很多的不足，雖然知道自己對於批評也是挺敏感的，但還是感謝大家將來指教。
像初日的鳥兒一樣飛出去，可以自由地探索，一定是一個美麗的旅程。

It was a few years since the idea of being a blogger flashed into my mind.
When I present this idea to my friends, unsurprisingly, it is usually met with surprise.
Why do I have such an idea?
Initially, I was just looking for some information about personal finance for myself. Then I learnt about the concept of FIRE movement (Financial Independence, Retire Early), and I found a few inspiring senpai's blog posts.
At the beginning, I was just a reader. But it feels good to be positively influenced. I start to think about:
"Can I be one of them?"
"It seems cool if I could also have such an influence."
Actually, for years, I am suppressing a lot of my own views.
Meanwhile, I sometimes feel the urge to "make the world better".
Adding them to the people I met, the things I encountered, and the stories I experienced, there is already a clear big picture in my heart for a long time.
Those who are close to me will say, "I am envious of how deep you could think of ideas while solving problems practically!" (Okay, a little bit narcissistic here...)
However, it also means that my understanding of the world is just so different from the majority.
This is where small problems arises. As an introvert, it feels so tedious to explain my ideas to the others.
Although I have my own clear big picture, there are so many pieces of puzzle in it which are interconnected. Even I find it difficulty to find a piece of them to express myself.
Moreover, I am quite lazy. Luckily, my life is fine, but I tend to procrastinate under such conditions. So, my idea of being a blogger is still an "idea" without action for years.
Recently, my life is heading for a major change. Some of my friends had known about it.
So, perhaps it is a good time to start the blog.
Note: Although I don't mind others know my true identity, and I don't mind my friends knowing that I want to be a blogger, I still want some boundary between my identity as a "blogger" and "myself". I think it's good for you to know about that.
Some of my enthusiastic friends also gave my a lot of ideas about "how to make a lot of money with a blog".
Despite this, I think I will be more happy writing something that you find useful and inspiring.
In many parts of the world, there are a lot of old but fascinating small businesses serving their community with pride and respect. Although they don't have the financial strength of big corporations, I am quite envious of their model.
Therefore, I think I won't promote my blog proactively at the moment. However, if my writings could have resonances for you, I will be very glad if you share it with the others.
In the future, I think I will be quite busy, so I don't think I will update this blog too regularly.
Perhaps it is a good thing that I can have the time to improve myself. I know I must still have a lot of shortcomings. Although I know that I am also quite sensitive to criticisms, it is undeniable that your feedbacks will make me a better person.
Being like a bird in the dawn, flying freely and exploring, it must be a beautiful journey.
