Totally agree, I have made a ton of mistakes and there is zero chance I will become overconfident. Instead, I struggle to maintain confidence and imposter syndrome on a daily basis.

Such an important reminder to always be self-aware. It was a great post @saesch :)

The word "humility" takes its etymology from the Latin "humus," which literally means ground. The dirt. It's such an enlightening etymology if you substitute the word "grounded"--which I think is what we're each striving for as investors. A practice as simple as—for every stock purchase—writing down a brief thesis with a few positive flags and negative flags and having that to refer to really lends humility, some grounding, when a quarter's surprising earnings cause the markets to spiral and, out of fear and with little long term memory for why we bought, we're tempted to bail on a position.
