地產、投資、生活、學習筆記及總結
過節的時候，太太說要送我件節日禮物，我說我啥也不想要，因為任何物質的東西都很難引起我的興趣。
太太執意要送我的禮物，是一份她自己用網上軟件做成的日曆：封麵是聖誕節前自家後院的高爾夫球場的風景照，其它12月份的圖片，是太太用她的手機，在2023年間給我照的12張隨意照。
用軟件做日曆，可以在封麵和各月的照片下麵加一句話。我對太太說，如果她執意要做的話，不如我選13句我自己喜歡的雞湯文。太太說這是個好主意，於是我就匆匆忙忙，用了不到10分鍾，選了13句我喜歡的雞湯文。
這是封麵和各月份的雞湯文：
封麵: There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge.
1月：Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.
2月：Fears are educated into us, and can, if we wish, be educated out.
3月：Debt is a wonderful discipline.
4月：Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.
5月：You do not get rich by making money. You get rich by wisely managing the money you make.
6月：The more you learn, the more you can earn.
7月：You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.
8月：Formal education will make you a living. Self-education will make you a fortune.
9月：The only thing that money gives you is the freedom of not worrying about money.
10月：If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary.
11月： Don't say, ‘If I could, I would.’ Say, ‘If I can, I will.’
12月：Learn how to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you want.
基本全是銅臭氣，哈哈！
還別說，太太送的禮物還蠻別致，我挺喜歡！
最後加個小問答: 請說說每句話各出自何人之口?

If I were to do the same, I would do it this way：
Jan.: You are the best.
Feb.: You truly are - see Jan,
March: Don't ever doubt it - see Feb.
April-Dec.: Repeat Jan. - March.
Hahahaha.
