Meta is a $1.6T company today
Yahoo offered to buy it for $1B in 2006.
The same Zuck that would have said yes couldn’t have built the company to where it is today.
In markets, successful investors/traders who amassed large fortunes must first amass a small one at some point.
For most people it would be irrational to not cash in and leave at that point.
Yet what most call irrationality and greed, others see as potential and ambitious unmet.
The people whose success is driven by the confidence in their ability rarely lose this confidence when they amass more success - quite the contrary.
The great ones keep going when the good ones cash in.
At the end, time will always reveal whether they belong to the former or latter - or neither.
