The real opportunities often lie where most people cannot see. This market has never lacked opportunities; what it lacks are those who persist even when no one is paying attention. Once you've chosen a track, you must have resolve—not afraid of the silence during downturns, but instead using that time to hone your fundamentals step by step and build genuine competitiveness. Those who have come through the coldest times hold the confidence that others cannot buy. When the market breaks through, they realize that persistence itself is the best investment.
