Looking at the time that went by between 1981-2018 it is clear that in all adversity & prosperity I & Sensex grew. But during this period I grew 37 times & at the same time Sensex grew 219 times. Surely I and Sensex both faced tough times but they did not last long. *Moral :- Be a systematic & disciplined investor. Do not rush into things. As time passes you and your investmemts will mature. Nobody can stop that.*
