In life, making money isn’t the hardest part; with gains and losses, what’s so difficult about it?

The hard part is not giving it all back.

Money is a burden — the heavier it gets, the more you have to worry about. Slip up even once, and it’s back to where you started.

In the past twenty years, failure wasn’t terrifying: you could always get back up because opportunities were plentiful. Over the next twenty years, the real risk is that if you fall, getting back up might be nearly impossible.

You only need to strike it rich once in your life — and ideally, just once.

If you don’t cherish this time, there may not be a second chance.
