Just my thoughts #0716

Walt Disney gained worldwide fame with the animated film ‘Steamboat Willie,’ but Disney’s first studio went bankrupt. By the mid-1930s, he had produced over 400 animations, most of which suffered heavy losses. In 1938, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs made $8 million in just the first half—more than ten times the earnings of other films. Meanwhile, with this animation, the company paid overdue wages to its employees and recovered the losses it had sustained. An unusual event that changes everything is called a “tail event.” 40% of publicly listed companies in the U.S. stock market lose nearly all their market capitalization 10 years after going public. Business and investing, after all, are based on probabilities. No one knows what the “tail event” will be. Therefore, to succeed, you need to try small, steady, many times with little impact, even if you fail. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

If a baseball player is given chances to keep batting without a count-out, then a super batter will probably come out. If the batter doesn't quit on the batting, he is likely to be a super batter. By the way, life is not three strikes out. If you're okay with that, you can keep bat at bat. "Continuity" is critical when challenging something. The only problem is that you cannot know the moment of success. So to maintain persistence, how much I desire and love it is more important. How well you do is the next question. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
