Short-term Loss for Long-term Gain

How do you balance opportunities?

What do you focus on more?

Short-term gain or long-term gain?

How much short-term loss is worth a long-term gain?

Often, we need to take a short-term loss,

so that we can produce long-term gains.

Yet the immediate loss is painful.

But the long-term pain is ever more so.

We often lack the capacity to imagine future gain.

Thus, we overly focus on the short-term pain.

Cut the losses and focus on the future.
