I truly believe losses have been my best teachers in investing. Early on, I made classic mistakes — chasing hype, ignoring risk, and holding onto losers out of pride. Those painful moments taught me discipline. Losing money hurts, but it builds humility — and humility keeps you grounded when volatility strikes.
One trade I’ll never forget was buying into a hot stock right before it tanked. At first, I blamed bad luck, but later realized I hadn’t done enough research or set clear exit points. That experience pushed me to strengthen risk management and focus on long-term conviction over short-term excitement. Every red position now reminds me to stay rational, not emotional.
Winning also matters — it builds confidence to trust your strategy. But confidence without the scars of losing can turn into overconfidence. For me, the balance between lessons from losses and validation from wins is what shapes a truly resilient investor.
