In this circle, there is a term that is heard quite often, called 'recouping losses'.
If you are focused on recouping losses, you will fall into the trap of recouping losses, and your vision will become increasingly short-sighted. You open an order, make a 5% profit, and hurriedly take the profit, fearing that you will lose again. Taking a bit of profit brings you closer to recouping losses.
In the end, you will find that not only have you failed to recoup losses, but you are also losing more and more, and you have missed more and more significant opportunities.
The author of Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto, was very poor at first. Because he was poor, he always wanted to make some money, taking on any kind of drawing, drawing whatever was popular. As a result, he became increasingly lacking in his own characteristics.
Later, I awakened him, and he made a firm decision not to limit his vision to making a little money but to create more meaningful works.
Because he no longer catered to the market for quick money, he couldn't even earn a little money and lived very poorly for the next few years.
But after that period, more and more of his profound works began to become popular, ultimately becoming a legendary masterpiece in the history of manga, 'Mars Ninja'.
Let me ask, if he had continued to cater to the market for quick and small profits, would there have been any later achievements?
Many times, what you lack is not that little money, not recouping losses; what you lack is a heart that must become rich.
If you want to change to becoming rich, you need to change your perception and your thinking; stop thinking about recouping losses all day, and stop aiming for small profits.
The poor play with skills, while the rich play with courage. To change your situation, you need to have a rich person's heart.
