Nature Gave Us Pain As A Messaging

The More You Think You Know, The More Closed-minded You'll Be.

What I'm Trying To Say Is That For The Average Investor, What I Would Encourage Them To Do Is To Understand There's Inflation And Growth - It Can Go Higher And Lower - And To Have Four Different Portfolios Essentially That Make Up Your Total Portfolio That Gets You Balanced.

You Should Have A Strategic Asset Allocation Mix That Assumes That You Don't Know What The Future Is Going To Hold.

Since The Only Way You Are Going To Find Solutions To Painful Problems Is By Thinking Deeply About Them - I.e., Reflecting - If You Can Develop A Knee-jerk Reaction To Pain That Is To Reflect Rather Than To Fight Or Flee, It Will Lead To Your Rapid Learning/evolving.

When There Is Pain, The Animal Instinct Is 'fight Or Flight' (i.e., To Either Strike Back Or Run Away) - Reflect Instead. When You Can Calm Yourself Down, Thinking About The Dilemma That Is Causing You Pain Will Bring You To A Higher Level And Enlighten You, Leading To Progress.
