Focus on the investment process instead of the result.
Educate yourself on the risks and then make an informed choice.

Andrew's takeaways

You're going to have bad outcomes not due to bad skill, but just due to luck. It’s, therefore, important to just keep focusing on improving your investment process.

Actionable advice

Keep focusing on the process because investing is a long game. If your strategy is correct, you can be unlucky once or twice, but you cannot be unlucky forever. So keep improving your process, your craft, and your skill.
