Greed. Selfishness. Ungratefulness. Impatience. Uncertainty. Hesitancy. Fear. Grief. Doubt.

If your Q4 looked like this, take a moment to forgive yourself. But more importantly—remember exactly what this felt like. Lock it in. So the next time the market tests you, the next time volatility hits hard, you won't repeat the same mistakes.

I've had people reaching out to me, and honestly, most of them are wrestling with the same demons. The patterns are always identical. It's not about being weak—it's about learning what your true limits are when money and emotions collide. That friction is the real education.

To be honest, I wasn't doing well during Q4 either. Greed really can ruin people. Every day I regret not holding on, and I'm afraid of getting caught at the top. This kind of inner conflict locks my mind. Next time there's a fluctuation, I should be able to make fewer stupid mistakes, but who knows... The tuition fees paid for the clash between emotions and money, we all have to pay.

Honestly, I've experienced all those emotions in Q4. Thinking back on it now still gives me a heart attack.

Honestly, I got through Q4 like this, and only now do I realize that some pitfalls are unavoidable; you have to step on them yourself to learn the lesson. Regret is useless; the main thing is not to make the same mistake next time... The key is to remember this feeling, really.

Basically, it's time to reflect when you should, and don't damn regret for a lifetime.

Really, every time I see these blood and tears lessons, I think of my own dark period... But on the other hand, how can you learn if you haven't suffered losses? --- During Q4, I was the same way, so greedy that I couldn't stop, and ended up losing terribly. Even now, I still feel scared when I think about it. --- Everyone can't escape this hurdle, it all depends on who can wake up from it... I'm now learning to accept these emotions. --- The term "lock-in" is perfect. When the next market wave comes, I will definitely remember this lesson. Hopefully. --- What hits the heart the most is that line "It's not weakness, but finding your true limit"... Too many people fail because they refuse to admit their limits. --- Feels like it's me? Repeating the same mistakes every time... I really need to change this time.
