21件25歲要開始做的事

1. 列出你人生中非做不可的「待辦事項」，開始一項項完成。

2. 嘗試一個人出國旅行，跟自己對話，照顧自己，傾聽心裡的聲音。

3. 至少進一次大公司，不一定是規模大的企業，而是在各行各業中，口碑和風評領先的公司。因為大公司的福利以及制度較完善，並可趁機累積相關工作資歷，以及人脈關係。也許中年之後，你會想要創業，資金、經驗和資源外，人脈是不可或缺的幫手。

4. 好好品嘗一次跌到谷底的感受。把自己逼到牆角時，往往是把人生看得最清楚的時候；唯有越過層層荊棘，才可能超越自我。

5. 找個時間做件善事，例如加入義工行列，在協助、服務其他人的同時，你會對目前所擁有的一切更加滿足。

●財富自由
6. 對自己好好進行一次全盤財務診斷。問自己：真正讓你幸福的生活方式是什麼？有人喜歡住鄉下，有人卻想要住豪宅，想在短時間創造高財富，就必須承擔更高的風險。

7. 再問自己理想的生活方式，需要準備多少錢才夠？扣除現有資產存量，還需要準備多少？設定好目標後，才開始討論合適的投資工具。

8. 切勿「負債投資」；若有負債，應先擬定償還計劃，先理債、再理財。

9. 一切都得從「存錢」做起，否則都是空談。

10. 想要存錢，先從「記帳」開始。這是基本功，只要堵住不經意花掉的金錢，一定可以慢慢累積出投資的本金。

11. 辛苦存錢的同時，一定要慎防財務漏洞，比如人云亦云地亂買股票、辦房貸，甚至亂刷卡或用現金卡借錢。
其中聽明牌買股票往往被套在高點；房貸利率的差別往往一年達數萬元；信用卡是很多現代人的理財盲點，也是現代人的財務殺手，試想你有錢放在銀行，拿到的是少少的利息，當這些錢被銀行經由信用卡或現金卡借出去，利差達10倍以上，這樣的錢當然不能借來用。

12. 既然理財是門學問，平時就應該做功課，無論從總體經濟，到世界趨勢，都應該有所涉獵。不要一昧相信「理財專家」或「股票名師」會替你帶來一夕致富的好運。

13. 最後，想要獲得財富自由，成為理想中的有錢人，就要有「成功致富」的信心。幾乎所有成功的投資人，都有一套自己的投資觀念，自律且具耐心，最重要的是，他們目標明確。

●掌握未來
14. 要自由地揮灑未來，第一件要做的事是──建立生活的秩序。有秩序的人，通常能夠成就你意想不到的事。讓其他事情可以順利完成，便有更多時間享受「自由」。

15. 改變，從專心工作開始。面對你正在做的事，集中注意力，才能加快完成速度。

16. 養成固定時間睡覺和起床。不要再用種種理由佔用睡覺的寶貴時間，不要讓事情一拖再拖，這樣你將有更多時間補足精力。

17. 正確的飲食、運動習慣能讓身體保持清醒，沒有負擔。應該讓身體在35歲以前，都保持在最佳狀態。

18. 只有不斷學習才能保證競爭力。管理大師彼得‧杜拉克（PeterF.Drucker）說，你的知識和經驗，都是你的新財富。懂得學習，一半靠好奇心，一半靠自律。
杜拉克即使再忙，每天也會擠出3～5小時讀書，唯有保持學習的自律，才能獲得一生受用的知識財富。

19. 在日常生活中，實踐「懶」人的智慧，用最少時間，達到最佳目的，且運用更舒適輕鬆的方法。例如：妥善保存隨手買的小配件，收納在同一個地方，要使用的時候就不會找不到。
發展自己的懶人智慧，當事情忙亂起來，就不會一團糟，生活也能更有品質。

20. 學會說不。「拒絕」是一門藝術，做個心胸開闊、進退有禮的人，同時也要有自己的原則，才能過得自在、開心。

21. 盡可能讓生活豐富。嘗試著用一個圓圈，平分成6個部份，在每個部份寫上家庭、工作、經濟狀況、精神追求、健康、智慧，提醒自己人生不是只有工作的上班時間，與下班後的日常生活；盡可能讓自己的每個面向不斷拓展、延伸。

Repair a puncture bicycle tire

On Monday night, surprisingly discovered the tire was flat, after little inspection, found the culprit to be a thorn from some plant. 

The Culprit!!

The patch from repair bought from Daiso.

LBS bike quoted me $9 for changing a new tube, 

but I think it is not necessary as there is no need to 

create an unnecessary rubbish and I get to save $7.
As bonus, I've learnt how to patch a puncture tire cheaply.

 And Voila!!! Back to roll again!

Tire Safety Starts with Proper Tire Repair

Bough a Tern - Link C7

This is the part I like the most. 

Bought a Tern Link C7 foldable bike today, good price and hopefully can rides for long time. Based on 2 minutes rides experience, the frame feel solid and easy to control.
However, this is more like a city bike and not suitable for off road. By the way, I don't do off road.
