Most people don't lose because they can't understand; they lose because they can't wait. When the market fluctuates, they get itchy; when others call out, they get tempted. As a result, they consume their chips and patience in the noise.

The real challenge is during the waiting period when there is almost no feedback: no applause, no certainty, and even the risk of being laughed at for "missing out." At this moment, whether you can stay steady doesn't rely on hype but on a more philosophical kind of resilience—treating time as a friend, loneliness as a cost, and restraint as a skill.
