Investing is not an easy task. It should be understood that without preparation it is quite difficult to get the result. The investment process itself requires knowledge and at least minimal experience in working in the market.
And even you've got the knowledge you want to attain or at least the basic one, don't overexpect.
That's where many investors have caught wrongly. They expect that they'll get the best result and they are picturing it out based from what they think with the little knowledge they have acquired.
An investor can mean anything to different people bu if were to look at it in the context of disussion, I will say that a true definition of an investor is a person who is ready to swallow his mistakes and learn from it, they cry over when they lost considerable amount of money into loss, they always invest another money into good coins no matter what and never give up.
It's already within that a real investor has learned a lot already from the mistakes that he has done.
