You touch on quite a few aspects that are relevant for life in general, work and investments.
Consistency matters. In everything. Think of a professional athlete. How did they get to where they are? Lots of relevant practice. Which requires consistency.
The same applies to investments, as opposed to speculations. Reminds me of an apt definition of a long-term investment, which is a short-term speculation that has failed to come off!
Investing requires you to buy at the right time. And not sell at the right time as it is often asserted. That is why value-based investments tend to outperform hot tips over the long-run. There is consistency there.

Anyone can hit a hole in one once, but not many people can get it next to the flag often enough to compete professionally.
Buying at the right time these days is even more valuable, as it can earn all the way up to the sell, if one chooses to let it go.
