Why Money Is Not Everything… (feat. Everyday Life on an Overseas Business Trip)

Hello.

I’m Oga, a dermatologist with 16 years of experience.

Last spring, during a business trip to Hangzhou, China,

I casually filmed a short video.

When I pulled it up again after a long time,

it brought back the thoughts and worries

I had at that time.

In the middle of a packed business trip schedule,

these were the thoughts I整理ed during a short morning walk,

and I’d like to take this opportunity to share

my own perspective on the present and the future

with all of you.

An Effort to Balance the Present and the Future

When running a business,

I constantly find myself thinking about

how much to invest in the present,

and how much to prepare for the future.

I was greatly influenced by

how my parents lived in the past.

My father worked at a company,

and my mother took care of the family.

Back then, saving and living frugally

was the best choice,

and supporting a family that way,

saving a little here and there,

and preparing for the future

was the usual approach.

But because that kind of approach requires

sacrificing the present completely,

I wanted to take a slightly different approach.

Without leaning too far toward the present,

I worked hard to pursue a way of preparing for the future as well.

So I design my life with a ratio of 8 for the present and 2 for the future.

It means building a structure that allows me to enjoy the present fully

while also preparing for the future.

If the future feels too uncertain,

it becomes hard to enjoy the present,

and on the other hand, if you sacrifice too much of the present,

your satisfaction with life inevitably drops.

Characteristics of Successful Young Rich People

There is a common trait I’ve noticed

among the successful young rich people around me.

They can largely be divided into three types.

(This is entirely my personal opinion^^;)

The first is “people who made money through investing.”

This is a way of building wealth by putting money to work through various methods,

such as stocks, real estate, and coins.

But this method has one common characteristic.

As the saying goes, money makes money,

it’s hard to make money if you don’t already have money.

People who live only by investing

basically need assets to begin with,

and many end up living unstable lives

depending on market volatility.

Investing itself is a good method,

but making it your full-time job comes with considerable risk.

The second is “people who succeeded through business.”

They run businesses directly,

create revenue,

and build wealth by accumulating profits.

But even here, there are two branches.

One is a model that continuously grows stable revenue and net profit,

and the other is a model that aims for an IPO or sale after rapid growth.

“People who started a business with investment from the beginning,”

in these cases, the key is not simply increasing sales,

but building a platform business with high future value.

It can be difficult to secure funding in the beginning,

but once it gets on a certain track,

it can achieve exponential growth,

and there is a chance to earn large profits

through an IPO or sale.

However, this kind of approach

requires mental resilience.

That’s because results may not be visible for a long time,

and you may feel stressed during the ongoing process of attracting investment.

What Matters Most Is My Happiness in Any Situation When running a business,

many temptations and opportunities come your way.

But in the end, I think the most important question is,

“Am I happy?”

Looking around,

having a lot of money does not necessarily mean being happy.

In fact, once you accumulate a certain level of wealth,

life often becomes more complicated.

If you keep chasing bigger goals,

you may stop enjoying the present,

and your anxiety about the future may grow.

So I think it’s important to balance the present and the future.

Even while running toward success,

you need to avoid losing yourself,

and keep checking whether you are living the life you want.

I took some time to reflect like this during my business trip

and once again check in with myself.

I hope you also take some time to look back and ask yourself whether,

by worrying too much about the future,

you are missing the present,

or whether,

by enjoying the present too much,

you are neglecting the future.
