Success is the price others set for you. Today they can lift you up to the skies; tomorrow they can step on you into the mud. Failure is something you earn yourself—etched into your bones, nobody can take it away. The money you lost, the people you trusted, the roads you took the wrong way—every single account is a lesson paid for in hard cash. Success makes people inflate their ego; losing money makes you see yourself clearly. You think you’ve lost face, but actually you’ve gained a sense of boundaries. You think you’ve wasted time, but actually you’ve saved up judgment. Don’t be afraid of failure. There’s nothing truly scary—what’s scary is the courage to face it when you can’t. When you see even the <k> line and you’re afraid, then the market has nothing to do with you anymore.
