In honor of my death in the eyes of most market demographics, I'd like to offer a few of the often painful conclusions I’ve eventually stumbled upon after a half century of trial and (mostly) error:
Never stop learning. Be more forgiving of others’ mistakes and bad takes. Be skeptical but open. Hope for the best but plan for the worst. Be more passionate about your likes than your dislikes. It's okay to not have an opinion about something. You're capable of more than you realize. Be more forgiving of your own mistakes and bad takes.
