Lesson two explores the resilience required when faced with unexpected market deviations, emphasising the importance of maintaining confidence in established strategies. The third lesson advocates for steadfastness in the face of economic uncertainties, showcasing how minimal portfolio adjustments often lead to higher returns over time.
