Terraced forest mountains at golden hour

A 10–12 year learning archive

Two brothers, learning how to think.

Sherman Shen and Roy Shen write what they notice — about companies, money, volunteer work, competitions, projects, and the world around them. The goal is not to look impressive. The goal is to learn how to think.

Sherman’s profile Roy’s profile

The brothers

Separate notebooks. Shared questions.

Each keeps his own Investing work and Journey — written in his own words.

Investor 1

Sherman Shen

Curious about how companies actually work.

Sherman is learning to look past the product he likes and ask: how does this business make money, and what could go wrong? He writes in his own words, even when the idea is still forming.

Investor 2

Roy Shen

Starts with games, stories, and things people love.

Roy pays attention to what kids and families actually use. He is practicing the difference between “I like this” and “this might be a good business.” His journal is allowed to change its mind.
