“We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.”

--Carlos Castaneda

These profound words by the anthropologist/author come in handy when deciding how we should react to a particular situation or event. When it comes to investing, you can be both miserable and strong all in the same day. Just remember, however, that it takes about the same amount of work to be miserable or to be strong, so why not choose strength?
