In the stock market field, people measure themselves on the success of their investments. But, success is a lonely road. It lies in the fact that it’s an insurance plan, not an investment plan or a welfare plan. The markets can be seen as brutal to your dreams when you look at the people at the top of their game. You wonder how it’s possible that they achieved such greatness and I still cannot. It seems practically impossible as you gaze at those icons to understand how someone could ever reach such dizzying heights.
