Someone will always be getting richer faster than you. This is not a tragedy.
Determine value apart from price; progress apart from activity; wealth apart from size.
You will make some mistakes but, if you learn from those mistakes, those mistakes will become wisdom and wisdom is essential to becoming wealthy.
You don’t need to be a rocket scientist. Investing is not a game where the guy with the 160 IQ beats the guy with 130 IQ.
Earning a lot of money is not the key to prosperity. How you handle it is.
