The short-term crowd is always too distracted to notice the long-term crowd slowly compounding.

An investor obsessing over daily economic data misses the big picture. A teenager chasing fleeting popularity neglects to develop genuine interests and skills. A co-worker stops paying attention to the details to chase attention. All chase false stimuli at the cost of lasting value.

Never try to win the moment at the expense of the decade.
