Gates has also said that “Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can’t lose”, which is something that everyone should keep in mind no matter the situation. Most people have had financial successes and difficulties, but it’s important to remember to learn from the losses and difficulties. It’s easy to remember successes and the easy path and but the difficulties behind you, but instead you should remember your losses and difficulties in order to prevent them from occurring again in the future.
