Long-term investing rewards a different kind of skill from short-term prediction. It asks an investor to choose a sensible approach, contribute consistently, accept uncertainty, and give the plan enough time to work.

Patience does not mean ignoring the portfolio. It means reviewing it without allowing every short-term movement to rewrite the entire strategy.

Time is not passive. Used with discipline, it becomes one of the strongest investing advantages.
