One of my favourite sayings is from the inimitable Lily Tomlin: “The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat”. This is true for investors as it is in life in general.
"Instead, try to get better at what you are doing every day, every month, every year. If you constantly strive to improve, you will inevitably become one of the best at what you are doing. And you don’t need to compare yourself to other people to know that."
Happiness is to be lucky enough to understand and pursuit this idea.
Charlie Munger has said it well: “Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than you were when you woke up. Discharge your duties faithfully and well. Systematically you get ahead, but not necessarily in fast spurts. Nevertheless, you build discipline by preparing for fast spurts. Slug it out one inch at a time, day by day. At the end of the day – if you live long enough – most people get what they deserve.“

Any article that includes a Lily Tomlin quote is a good one. ...And as she says, "the road to success is always under construction".
