The focus has to be on getting better everyday
It's very hard in the stock market to feel too successful. But in all seriousness, that's one of the great things about whether it's sports or the stock market, you're knocked down a lot. It's tough. And you're going to go through some good times and some bad times. It's a very humbling game, or sport, or business, or whatever. Because you're not always going to be successful. It's hard. And so, if your focus isn't on just constantly getting better, and focusing on that instead of the day-to-day results, it's going to be a tough go.

Our Bigger Brains Came With a Downside: Faster Aging
The human brain, more than any other attribute, sets our species apart. Over the past seven million years or so, it has grown in size and complexity, enabling us to use language, make plans for the future and coordinate with one another at a scale never seen before in the history of life.
But our brains came with a downside, according to a study. The regions that expanded the most in human evolution became exquisitely vulnerable to the ravages of old age.
The human brain is three times as large as that of chimpanzees. But that doesn’t mean all of our brain regions expanded at the same pace, like a map drawn on an inflating balloon. Some regions expanded only a little, while others grew a lot.
In both species, the researchers found, the brain shrinks over the years. But some regions shrink faster than others. In humans, the fastest-shrinking regions were the orbitofrontal cortex and other parts of the brain that have expanded the most over the past few million years.
