Those who cannot enjoy solitude are easily bound and manipulated by the opinions of outsiders.

The courage required for independent thinking is fundamentally the same as the courage required for 'others fear my greed.'

Independent thinking often goes misunderstood by those around you for a long time, just like purchasing high-quality assets when prices remain underwater for an extended period.

Being bound by the opinions of outsiders is essentially akin to chasing asset bubbles out of fear of missing out (FOMO).
