5 Lessons to Revisit 

1. The early bird catches the worm

And the early investor can create a good corpus with long-term investing.

The saying emphasises the importance of starting early, which is also beneficial in investing. When you start early, you can save small amounts and build your savings into a good corpus with the power of compounding.

2. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket

Instead, diversify so that all the eggs are not lost if one basket is damaged. The same is true in the case of investments. Investing in different types of assets can spread out the investment risk while enhancing the return potential.

3. Rome wasn’t built in a day

Similarly, building up a big corpus requires time. Don’t worry that your savings are not accumulating and earning big returns. Give them time. Save in a disciplined manner and have a long-term investment horizon to amass a good corpus.

4. All that glitters is not gold

Don’t be overwhelmed by an asset yielding good returns in the short term. Also, don’t believe in hot tips coming from scrupulous people. Do your research into an asset before you invest in it. Know the risks and returns and then invest.

5. Adversity makes a man wise

Not everything might go to plan. Some of your investments might fail or deliver negative returns, but you should not worry about it. Instead, learn from your mistakes and stay patient.
