skills are such an interesting thing to have and acquire. They are sometimes random but they add up to something great. Being organized isn’t a “skill” that many would consider but it’s one that helps keep things situated at key moments and can make or break a scenario. It’s a soft skill that is honed and improved over time and can help the building blocks of other skills to produce something better. It could also be quite useless such as a hoarders house, organized the stacks of newspapers by year. Life is a wonderful thing full of random shit huh? Some of it is useful in the right scenario while in others it’s a waste of time. 

I have been trying to add some skills to my repertoire at work but we are so damn busy and I refuse to use more of my personal time for these things, it’s a little annoying. Companies speak up a good game of growth but not you down with so much work that your only growth is imaginary lol

On the topic of resources I have told so many this that the most limited resource is time. Yes there is never enough time in the day but a life is such a minuscule amount of time that you need to make sure you do what makes you happy with the time you are given. 

> if a person doesn't have a decent amount of resilience, patience and the ability to deal with loss, they aren't going to have what it takes to be an investor

This is one of the reasons even at this mid age I have more equity than debt. Like my debt is 2% and 98% equity funds in the portfolio. I think unless one takes risk, there is harder to have any reward. Again those risks have to be cascaded, I have equity risk cascaded that not everything is extreme high risk but some are moderate, mid cap, small cap etc. 

Some day we are going to die and we don't take risk we remain on the shore. 

No risk, no reward.

I sure wish I could buy some discipline! It is the one skill that I still have not been able to master. Learning always came easily, and it still does, but opportunities to learn valuable things from the right teachers has become more of a challenge outside of college. Sure there is a wealth of learning opportunities on social media sites like YouTube and TikTok, but call me old fashioned because I'd rather learn in person with a teacher or model that I admire.

> Do you know how to use yours?

I'm a rather short guy, so despite my average size, I definitely took the time to master some skills that have paid off well. There was even a time in my life when I got to be the sugar baby -- boy was that grand. I would happily go back to that time in my life when I was getting by simply by using it. I miss all the easy sugar.

Totally off topic, but I have a bowl like that, but it's clear and not green. Nice chunky glass.

I can't agree less on this. You know the reason why most people don't like investing is because they can't bear any lose and they don't have patient. That is why they will rather keep their money into savings than invest. 

It's all about what people will do. It's kind of hard to really know and I agree that it's up to the person as well. Whether it be a normal job or a job full of crime, the end result is that it gives us money or something that people need to live their life. So the focus of the person depends on how things turn out. After all, everyone has so much time so what they want to focus on and build skills for.

The "pin" is mightier than the sword when the fight is inside the barrel. Thanks for this article. Made me reflect on some things.  !PGM

Sometimes job compatibility is important. A really small player will have a hard time playing in the NBA even if they are really good. But most of the time, I agree that experience and acquired skillsets determine one's success. And it is usually the ones that honed those skills and have the experience that do well. There are shortcuts, and some become successful, but they are only a few cases, and they are very lucky. Most will eventually fail if they only rely on shortcuts, but those that worked hard after their big break do tend to keep it.

If we even try to check or observe more, we'd realize that some people now prefer to engage in stealing or other crazy activities 
A lot of people are like the second person in the story of the peoppe in the gym

Indeed, to be patient is kinda one of the first rules to be a good investor. A good example for this from me is that I have some stocks I bought two years ago and they went quite down after I had bought. However, today I am in profit from them. If I had sold them, I might have left investing in stocks.
