Learn from your mistakes. Where would the human race be without learning? And where is learning more prominent? In past mistakes of course. Consider a martial artist. He learns to block from being hit. Being hit is a rather uncomfortable experience, but out of it he becomes more professional and increases his mastery of the art. I truly believe mistakes are the essential steps in the climb to mastery and success. Testing the market with small money can be a great tool for learning specifically because of this reason. One is able to inccur mistakes without substantial loss and thus learns. 11. Learn from your mistakes.

Though simple, this rule delivers a lesson reaching far beyond finances. "There is no free lunch", but there is a cheap lunch. Small decisions like packing lunch reinforces the best mindset for saving. Most of us won't become a guru or even beat the market, but success will come in living frugal. Without that foundation, our investment decisions will mean far less. Further, packing your own lunch is far more likely to involve healthy choices. Without your health, money isn't worth much. 15.

Besides being a fabulous song by Coldplay, it is an adage that, much like “Buy low, sell high”, far too few investors follow. All too commonly, when an unexpected situation comes about, panic sets in, investors sell out of positions and find themselves with a small sum of cash and little to show for it. Instead of panicking, follow your head (not your heart!) and seize the opportunity. And as Chris Martin says, “there’s nothing here to run from”—as long as you don’t panic.

This seems like common sense, but emotionally it can be very difficult to do when everyone else is selling and things look darkest. For value investors, or bargain hunters, it’s important to remember that “crisis equals opportunity.” We must be ready to act , intellectually and emotionally, when adversity strikes, there is panicked selling, and stock values drop dramatically.
