Both had equal paper qualifications, almost equal skills and they both had gone through nearly same process of wealth building in the past. They were both equally capable of doing similar things. They both had the ability to build almost equal amount of wealth within the equal amount of time. Why one could rebound from the setbacks while the other could not? Are you interested to know? You would be, wouldn't you?
The answer was simple. One of them use back the same skill that he built his fortune and immediately start re-building again. While the other man spend all his time grieving about his losses. One man sees that he cans till come back even stronger because he has now gain even more experiences and he can do it much faster because he now knows how to avoid the costly mistakes he made in the past. The other man spends most of his time seeking sympathy and self pity. He has forgotten about how he used to build his fortune. He spent his time in
blaming and frustration.
See the difference? What is gone is gone. If you can salvage, you do it fast. If you can't salvage, you move on. Build on your past experience and do it faster this time round.
There are better things to do than to self pity.
OK. You have heard this hundred times. Now just do it.
