Quote from Warren Buffet
You’ve got to be prepared — when you buy a stock — to have it go down 50% or more ... If you can’t handle it psychologically, then you really shouldn’t own stocks — because you’re going to buy and sell them at the wrong time.

Care about what others think but don’t let that rule your world
It’s ok to be disliked. It’s ok to disagree. It’s ok to think different.
