This one comes from the legendary billionaire Paul Tudor Jones; he is considered one of the greatest traders of all time and runs one of the oldest hedge funds in the world. I just started reading “Market Wizards” by Jack D. Schwager. The book consists of in depth interviews with some of the top investors/traders of 1980s. This quote comes from an interview with Paul Tudor Jones:
“Don’t be a hero. Don’t have an ego. Always question yourself and your ability. Don’t ever feel that you are very good. The second you do, you are dead.”
These words apply to many things beyond just investing. Beautiful and simple.
