Chapter 3: Revelation
Time flies slowly, 1986 passed quietly, 87 years came at the appointment, Tiger followed Jessica has been learning financial knowledge for 1 year, and the progress is very good, but the life of death does not need to be explained. www.biquge.info At the end of September, Tiger asked Jessica to close all the funds and prepare for the financial earthquake in October.
"Hey! Boy, you're too arrogant, aren't you? You've only been studying finance for 1 year, and you're sure you want to shout in front of me, a finance veteran. ”
Seeing Jessica rolling up her sleeves and having a tendency to fight if she doesn't agree, Tiger has a feeling of powerlessness to complain. "Mom, I didn't question your professionalism. In fact, I admire and admire your professional financial judgment. "Tiger, who understands Jessica's character, immediately delivers ecstasy soup.
Kindness! This is a good word, Jessica's hair was smoothed out at once, and the corners of her mouth were raised. "Boy, although you are telling the truth, don't think I don't know your purpose." Jessica reached out and pulled a chair and sat down, looking like she couldn't escape my eyes, but she was clearly happy with Tiger's words.
"Yes, who are you? Genius Tiger's mother, how can there be something you don't know? Tiger doglegged the horse, moved a chair to sit next to Jessica, and whispered to Jessica: "Mom, do you remember when I won the football lottery last year? ”
Jessica raised an eyebrow, glanced at Tiger, and motioned for him to continue.
"Mom, recently I saw the stock market chart on the computer screen, and all the information floated in front of me, and the feeling I had last time came back again. He told me: 'On Monday, October 19, 1987, the Dow Jones Industrial Average in New York fell 22 percent, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell to 508 points. Global stock markets will be in a panic on the day, followed by a massive recession. ”
With a loud bang, Jessica stood up abruptly and brought down the chair she had just sat in.
"What did you say?"
Tiger plucked out his ears, this scream, it was too scary.
Jessica began to walk around the room in circles, muttering something to the blindness of Tiger.
Suddenly, one rushed to Tiger's side, grabbed his clothes, and lifted him up. Jessica took a deep breath and slowed down. "Son, do you know what you just mean? Have you ever talked to someone about it? ”
"Mom, you think I'm stupid! This one told others that he would be sent to a psychiatric hospital. ”
Putting down her son in her hand, Jessica picked up the chair that had fallen to the floor, sat down and took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. Five minutes later, Jessica slapped the table and said arrogantly, "I've decided, and I'll do it." With all the value of our mother and son, we have a big gamble. With that, he went to the computer and began to make preliminary preparations.
In this cramped apartment, Jessica made a shocking decision and took her first steps towards becoming a 'financial queen'. Decades later, when she stood at the top and looked down on all beings, Jessica's first thought was the image of this time.
At the beginning of October, under Jessica's skillful operation, she and Tiger had all the funds of about 50,000 US dollars, all ready, just waiting for time to bring them to the moment the battle began.
As the days approached, Jessica became calmer and calmer, while Tiger began to suffer from insomnia and irritability. He was suddenly scared! This is all their worth, if there is a change, it will be before liberation overnight, and there will be problems with basic life, and it is possible to sleep on the streets with Jessica in the next second.
Looking at her son who was about to run away at any time, Jessica was happy. This stinky boy, although he often plays tricks with himself, is actually a calm and indifferent master. At a young age, he can already wear a mask in front of outsiders, and this will show his original form! I really want to record it with a video camera and keep it as a souvenir, and use it to laugh at him in the future, which is also good.
"Mom, are you sure it's time to see my jokes?" Tiger turned his head and saw Jessica's face.
"Son, now I'll teach you one last lesson from your mother." Jessica put away her thoughts and pulled Tiger to sit down, rarely serious. "Son, you remember. There are too many confusions, temptations, choices, pressures, responsibilities, and so on in life. So before you make every decision, you must learn to think and learn to give up something. Maybe a moment of greed will make you lose more. The impulse of the moment will bring endless regret and pain to you later in life. But! Jessica paused, and looked straight into Tiger's eyes as if she were looking at the bottom of his heart.
"But! Now that you have made a decision, don't regret it, don't be confused, don't look back, go down to earth with courage and strength, even if the road ahead is full of thorns and tears, you must be worthy of your heart and be yourself. And you Tiger Washington! It's my Jessica Washington son! So you must not be cowardly, cowardly, depraved, evasive. Or even give up on yourself! ”
Jessica's words are like twilight bells, striking Tiger's soul. No one had ever asked him so much, and the creed of life, which he had never heard before, hit him. He knew that he had always relied on the experience he had accumulated at the bottom of society, with a fluke mentality, and a sense of superiority as a prophet. At this moment, he realized that everything was wrong, and it was outrageously wrong.
Tears rolled down his cheeks, Tiger tried to look at Jessica and said word by word: "Mom, I am your son, I will be down-to-earth to make you proud and proud." Never let you down, shed tears. I swear! ”
Jessica stroked Tiger's hair with relief, a habitual gesture she felt her son had made her proud. Tiger is a genius, Jessica has always thought so. But too many geniuses in this world are ruined by their own arrogance and character, and the geniuses who die young rarely become mediocre, and most of them cannot accept the changes of reality, and then gradually exile themselves, live a depraved life, and then lose themselves. The truly successful geniuses are the few who have a strong heart. By the skin of one's teeth! It can only be temporary, Tiger has the ability to perceive that others don't have, if he can't put his mind right and live a down-to-earth life, then what awaits him will be a bottomless abyss.
This was the last time Jessica would teach Tiger as a mentor. But it taught Tiger the tenets of life. In the days that followed, this creed stayed with Tiger throughout his life. So much so that when later generations commented on Tiger Washington, there was only the word 'great'. Great career, great life experience, great personality.
