Ignores distractions
The decisions you make on your investments should be the product of a cold calculation and rational, not of your emotions or the opinions of others, no matter how authoritative they are.

Works with people who deserve your respect
It may not be the work that you will have all your life, but it will be a work of which you’ll be able to get a lot in terms of experience and learning.
