## What Jamie wrote

Seth Godin again with a look at managing your emotions with THE PANDEMIC going on. I like the analogy of day trading here.

> Just as it’s almost impossible to make a profit as a day trader, it’s difficult to be happy when you day trade emotions.

His recommendation, we act more like investors.

> Long-term contributions matter. Today ends tonight and tomorrow starts again, but we only get one long-term life.

I like it. 🤔
