So, here’s the thing about F1 drivers. They get drilled with one key lesson early on. If they start to drift off track, they can't fixate on the barriers or walls, right? They gotta keep their eyes on the road to steer back into the right path. It's pretty much the same for us. Think about when you're riding a bike or driving. If you're cornering and there’s a tree looming, the last thing you should do is focus on that tree. If you do, you’re probably gonna smash right into it. We often get bogged down by negative thoughts: What could go wrong? What might I fail at? What am I scared of? We dwell on these too much, and it can turn those fears into reality. But we should really shift our focus away from all the negatives and instead ask ourselves: Where do I want to go? How do I plan to get there? What skills do I need to develop? So, looking ahead is what counts. When we manage to do that, we'll find that the negative vibes start to fade, making it way easier to stay on our path. This mindset totally applies to investing as well. When you invest, market ups and downs and greed can easily throw you off course. But if you can ignore those short-term blips and your own cravings for quick wins, you'll find it much simpler to stay focused on your investment goals. Eventually, you'll hit that target, just like those F1 champs do on the track.

Having an investment plan or goal will help us stay on track regardless of the distractions. Every investor should know when they want to invest and when it is time to take a profit. An example is that nothing will make me sell my Bitcoin when it has not reached the time and amount I have projected. I don't care about news or suggestions that will cause FUD because my eye is focused on my goal.

I can clearly understand the questions you raised here and the message you are trying to pass through them. When these kinds of questions come to someone’s mind, the person will be able to understand things better and even if they decide to move forward with investment, they will know how to stay focused on their goals while progressing. These questions are especially important for a new investor because when someone is just entering the crypto space, if they can ask themselves these questions and take time to analyze them properly before finding the answers, it can help make their investment journey and their overall experience in the crypto world much better.

It is still going to depend on what is your strategy and goal, in the end being a investors was surely a difficult thing and investment is not really something easy where it can easily make you some rich guys, most of the newbies are thinking it that way, they think that being investors could easily make them rich and they will be able to easily buy anything they wanted, not really really for what is coming. Being focused on investment is a good thing, but it is still not going to guarantee profit. You are going to experience a lot of there will be a lot of temptations, and there will be a lot of losers in the market. It is also going to involved luck there are investors who just invested who doesn't really care about the investment they just forget about it and come back after a few years then see that they make a huge amount of profit over time. I'm not saying that staying focused and staying on the right track is a bad thing, but what investors need to understand is that there was no shortcut whatsoever when it comes to this investment. It is a very risky investment, especially because it is cryptocurrency, which is very volatile. It is going to be a boring investment because it would take a long time in order to make a huge amount of money. Yes, there are people who make a huge amount, but that comes with a huge risk investing in something that could easily make them money, but at the same time it can be a burn.

Successful crypto investors don't even have the time to keep market performance on track because it makes no value of taking immediate action whether the market price is dumping or pumping. It's traders who takes the risks while gets their emotions troubled over the short term market displays which in most cases triggers them to take unexpected actions which could either be to sell out of Fomo or buying in a certain market condition over excitement when the market shows pumping attributes. They think they can just buy then and watches their asset grows over time. That also makes a lot of newbies think they can make riches overnight in the crypto market because they tend to justify volatility with the current being.

Investing for the sake of investing often doesn't yield the expected results in the long run. I agree that there should be initial planning, defining goals and objectives. Some investments are for emergency funds, others for acquiring an asset like a house or a car (short term), usually invested in fixed income or savings accounts, depending on the return, and others are for building wealth, retirement, the so-called long-term investments. It's necessary to be aware of what you aspire to in order to make the best choices. We need to focus on the process and reallocate resources if necessary, in addition to having a well-defined strategy and constant monitoring of our investments.
