Hey everyone, If you are reading this, that means TaPlot has unfortunately passed away. I am his oldest son, and I want to take a minute to sincerely thank every one of you that supported him throughout this fight, you helped him keep his motivation, but you also helped me a lot. When I was feeling worried about him, I would often go to his page and read all the supportive comments, and they would give us both so much hope. He was a great dad, he never stopped fighting, not even in his last week. I sat beside him and told him he could rest and I was proud of him, and he simply shook his head. He still wasn't giving up. It hurts losing him, because, losing my father means I lost the only man who ever truly wanted me to be better than himself. I will not be deleting any of his posts, everything will stay here as it was. There's one more thing I want to leave everyone with. When my dad died, the cancer died too. It wasn't a loss, it was a tie. He's at peace, and the cancer isn't. So if you really think about it, he won. 🕊️

that Weschler quote on "unmonetized lessons" is great...KG uses the "tuition" analogy a lot: “All my losses are tuition, and I have the most expensive education in American history. If every time you lost money, you got depressed and angry, you couldn’t deal with it, you’d have a short career.” Weschler quote: “One of my personal investment mantras is that there’s no such thing as a loss, it’s just an unmonetized lesson.” three more, I think these are in the video linked below but not 100% on great investors: “They’re really good at getting past sunk cost fallacies and they view their wins and their losses as just the tuition bill of being professional investors. And by the way, I’ve paid a lot of tuition.” never make the same mistake twice: “We lose lots of money on hundreds of trades each day. We want to prevent losses that arise from making the same mistake twice.” advice to students: take the opportunity right after graduation that is most rewarding, passionate, and interesting—“save the rest of your life for being risk averse… Twenty years from now, your freedom to take risks will be limited.” -- Weschler article: https://t.co/rDCcku4aSw Griffin @ Yale SOM (2023): https://t.co/qGGDwIgCI3
