In November 2023, I started Gil Peretz's writing course. The program included a daily writing assignment which I received by email every morning. At the time, the idea of purchasing such a training program seemed very strange to me. On the one hand, my income had dropped significantly, and on the other hand, my mood, like yours I assume, was at rock bottom. Constant tears in my eyes and a heavy ache in my heart. I thought that precisely a daily assignment of this kind could improve the situation. In this article, I want to share one of the exercises that I had and thought might be of interest.Nine things you might not have known about me:I'm from a kibbutz. My first job was in the dairy barn and then in field crops, so you could say I've been involved with growth since childhood.Every year we would stop studying for two weeks and instead of studying, we would pick grapefruits. I learned that sometimes money does grow on trees.(If they are cared for all year round).On an 8th-grade field trip, I got lost in the Muslim Quarter of Jerusalem. I had a paper with the itinerary, so I took a bus to the next stop on the trip. There, I found my class and a police car that had already been called by the school staff. After the trip, my parents were called to the principal's office for a reprimand because the fact that I took a bus indicated that I was sent on the trip with personal money (20 shekels), which is against school regulations and harms equality. If you feel like you did not receive economic education, Look at the anti-education I received.I wasn't ready to go on stage at the high school graduation. So I turned on the lights and actually I enlightened those who were ready to be in the spotlight.כשרציתי לבחון האם כדאי לי לעסוק בייעוץ להתפתחות כלכלית וכו' ביקשתי מבת משפחה שתארגן לי הרצאה במקום העבודה שלה – חברת אמן מחשבים. זו הייתה למעשה ההרצאה הראשונה שהעברתי בחיים. צילום הרצאה זו צבר קרוב ל- 100,000 צפיות ביוטיוב הרצאה זו בלבד היא כ- 15% מהצפיות בערוץ שלי(מעל 600,000 צפיות). You never know where something small will end up.I bought the first apartment about a year after a calculation I did in Excel showed that I would never be able to buy an apartment. It's advisable to do calculations with professional help rather than on your own.Out of the ten years I worked at the bank, I looked for another job for nine years. I didn't find another job with the same salary, but I married a social worker who told me, "Quit without another job, or you'll discover I have the authority to commit you involuntarily.". Good time to say thank you to my wife, with whom we celebrated 18 years together this week. I have no idea if social workers really have such authority.I was employed for a few years, but only working 3 days a week. It was great. You don't have to have full "financial freedom," partial and for a limited time is also possible.Children riding electric bikes to school have possessions far greater than what I had as a 27-year-old student. It's never too late and you can always improve.—-I once read that there's a large WhatsApp group for people named Yoav. A kind of brotherhood by name. They share questions, experiences, etc.I believe the group of people called "Rimon" was likely a small group. I want to dedicate this article to the bravery of my sister, Rimon Kirsh-Buchshtab. Rimon and her partner Yagov were abducted from Kibbutz Nirim. When she was informed she was slated for release, she refused to leave without Yagov until the Hamas monsters told her they would drag her out by force.Her picture on the day of her release is an iconic image. When they interrogated her, she raised her head, no matter if it was in front of a group of murderous, armed men while she was still in her pajamas. Rimon, I hope that soon Yagav and all the other hostages will also be released. You were an inspiration to me. Thank you.
