"The two most powerful warriors are patience and time." - Leo Tolstoy
"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now."

DELAY OF GAME
"Don’t wait for the Perfect Moment. Take the Moment and make it perfect"- Anonymous
"Even a correct decision is wrong when it is taken too late." - Lee Lacocca
"Don’t wait for the right opportunity; create it.” - George Bernard Shaw
TAKING THE LONG VIEW
"Look at this chart. It shows how much the economy has grown in the last 170 years
Do you know what happened during the years this chart represents?
1.3 million Americans died while fighting nine major wars.
Four U.S. presidents were assassinated.
675,000 Americans died in a single year from a flu pandemic.
30 separate natural disasters killed at least 400 Americans each.
33 recessions lasted a cumulative 48 years.
The stock market fell more than 10% from a recent high at least 103 times.
Stocks lost a third of their value at least 13 times.
Annual inflation exceeded 7% in 20 separate years.
The words "economic pessimism" appeared in newspapers at least 29,000 times, according to Google.
And yet our standard of living increased 21-fold.
Being an optimist does not mean you think things will always be good. That's complacency.
Optimism means you are confident in people's ability to solve problems and make the world a little better, even if the path to get there is filled with constant setbacks, declines, challenges, and panics.
As the world feels like it's falling apart, take a moment to remind yourself that being optimistic about the long run and accepting of chaos in the short run is not contradictory. It's history.”
