a successful investor once gave a public lecture at my campus, he said that the key to his current success was compounding, he had lived fruitfully for almost 20 years to see his money continue to grow without ever buying luxury goods or splurging, after 20 years that were long enough and full of temptations, he finally managed to create 10,000x the money from the capital he started with. he also said that many old people who are currently poor came from the wrong decisions they made in their young age. Wealth is like a tree that is cared for with hard work, sincerity, and consistency for years until it produces results (superior fruit).
