That is it!
You know when people do not always find their place they usually finds it difficulty while trading and whenever they have totally discovered where they are best fit you see them doing well and excelling in what they are doing. Just as you have said, it's good you knew it on time and focused on long term holding than keep jumping from place to places and keep losing money which is extremely bad to say.
+1 karma for you.
I did keep losing money, which is bad but I was like made 2x or maybe more from investing long term but made 2x or maybe more in trading, so I make profit in long term and make lose in short-term trading haha.
BTW thanks for the +1, speaking of finding the interest sooner is the good thing, once we know this is not for us, just leave it, if we can do something else as in alternative and arn't making enough money from one we should move on but sticking to it might give a chance.
