This morning I drove to a busy intersection, and was waiting for right turn. Traffic was heavy so I had to wait in patience. In no time three cars lined up behind me, also waiting for right turn.

One car honked 3 times to urge me to dash out. But based on my judgment it was not opportune to do so. If I did, the risk was high. So I ignored the honking. Five seconds later, it honked 3 times again. I didn't even move an inch. Still anther five seconds later, the car honked again. Still, I didn't move.

The decison was obvious to me: traffic in front was still heavy and fast, and I didn't feel safe enough to rush out.Finally, when traffic light turned green, I made the safe right turn.

Conclusion:

If some people wanted YOU to risk your life so that they might save 10 seonds in their life, do not cooperate.

Have some independent thinking in investing as well as other aspect of life. When you know you are right, insist. If not sure, be cautiously humble.

Stay tough, stay alive.
