PROFESSION HEALTH: Understanding the systems and the landscape, finance is a language
Without you, I couldn’t have been nor built what I am and I did. Dr. Diec opened my eyes to not only the numbers but also on how to understand the lyrics and poetic of finance. Yes, finance is math, to add and to substrate. But math is also to multiply and divide. More than math, finance is a language by itself, a tongue that if understood can move mountains and build cities and countries.
“Finances is both mathematics and psychology, just like medicine is half science half human.”
- Dr. Bak Nguyen, from PROFESSION HEALTH
Finance is a language that you can’t simply just learn and apply with a proven formula. Real finance, life’s finance, it’s a way of thinking to communicate your mind to the world and gather your peers' interest around the desired outcome.
I know what you are thinking right now: why so many words, shouldn’t we talk about numbers and theorems? That’s where we been misled for years. Most of us, won’t have the fortune to be trained by a great mind in finance. So, Life itself will be your teacher. In other words, we will learn from our mistakes!
From our first tax report to our first income statement. From the partial tip of an uncle to the counsel of an adviser, we are trying to learn bits and pieces of the puzzle without seeing the big picture. I’ve been through most of that too, before meeting with Dr. Diec. Trust me, I share your pain. And the pain can be avoided!
A lack of financial knowledge about its merit and role will doom us to a life of misery. Those following chapters are about the empowerment to ease our way to happiness through the path of financial science.
I asked for favors, for you, for all of us. In the next chapters, I will introduce to you, the bankers of Mdex, professionals who I learned to trust and who learned to trust me. People I now call friends with whom I shared my dreams and are working to make our life easier, all our lives…
