My game theory

Being a financial analyst is what I’ll do in the near future. To many other people who just entered this market, it may be quite a huge challenge to get used to this cruel world which just recognizes your ability only. So they’re being very careful, delicate with decision-making, while feeling stressful being a new-bie in financial market.

To me it’s different. I’m not saying that I’m overconfident, thinking I’m able to deal with any cases that I encounter. No, things are not like that. Rather, I’m still a master student who hasn’t received her degree, and yet her financial analyst certificate. My ability is still far from enough being a good analyst. But I know what I’m gonna to do.

I’m going to play a game, which is created by the whole human society. This is a game that composed of real things. Will be extremely dangerous, risky and hilarious. But this is a very tempting game, cuz everything you feel, you get, you lost is real. Once I am a Chartered Financial Analyst, the game starts. There will be companies which need me. No experience, no money, but I’ve got degree and certificate. That’s enough for me to survive in this game for the first few years. The ticket to this game is my bachelor and master degree, and CFA keeps me from being kicked out from the game. I use the real money to play this game, trying to figure out how to make money from money in this company. What is the best financial project. What is the best opportunity to invest. I’ve got no pressure on me cuz I know what I’m doing is just a game. No harm to human soul, so not a big deal. As a Christian I know the only thing people should afraid of is the thing which will harm their soul. Therefore I just do my best to win the game, get the reward, and enter the next level of this game. If I failed, this is also good, cuz that means I’m learning new things I don’t know before, or I haven’t learned in school before- the worst thing that could happen is just being fired by the company. But still I can get another job with CFA very soon. (that’s why I think CFA is very important in this game… it saves your time.) And the best thing in this game is that you never get bored.

So, now I’m still preparing, learning all the rules of this game. Like learning rules for playing chess. And I can’t wait to start the game.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” – Nelson Mandela
