Today's Bit of Wisdom




“Adopt the pace of Nature: Her secret is patience.”

By Ralph Waldo Emerson






      Patience is like wine, it gets better with time. In today's fast paced world of instant gratification, it is difficult to tell someone to have patient when making decisions but I have come to realize that in life the decisions that matter the most, are those that require patience to reap the best results. If you are a value investor you would know this. Making decisions that only take into account the short term future usually end in disaster. You must have patience if you really want the most out of life. 

       So, slow it down, take sometime to reflect on what your long term future should look like then make your decisions. Like wine, the results of good decisions get better with time and you will need patience to get the best out of life. 

Nothing really important comes fast, it will always require time and patience.
