๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸLosing money forces me to reflect, be humble and to learn.   I remember the pain of losing 90% from Top Glove.  It makes the lesson stick.

However surviving a loss and coming back stronger is a rite of passage.  It is how conviction is forged.  Losses push me to ask Why do I invest?  What matters more - steady returns or high risk high rewards bets?

Making money feels good but it can be deceptive.  It can inflate the ego as success without understanding breeds over confidence.

Nonetheless making money do validate conviction like my investment in Nvidia.  It affirms my  process and builds trust in my decision.

Losses teach me how to survive.  Gains teach me why I stay in the game.  The real wisdom comes from integrating both.

So Yes - losing money teaches me to be humble but making money teaches me what matters.  When I blend both I become a better  investor and a wiser one too.

    Very well articulated. Few things teach us humility better than loss making picks in the market or a visit to the dentist ๐Ÿ˜€. And I can personally vouch that the dentist's drill is less painful. But we can't avoid either and both teach us invaluable lessons: the former teaches us financial hygiene & the latter oral hygiene.
