Exactly, I hate the use of mountain climbing as successful. Im generalising but its extremely dangerous with little reward. There's so much more to get back from easier and less deadly activities. Mountain climbing is the peak of egotism.

Translation: If you have a sound financial plan for your investments, these can be outperformed by someone who is just lucky. If you focus on this one idiot, you might think your plan was useless. However, for each lucky idiot without a plan, there are droves of unlucky idiots. Don't be discouraged or encouraged by one lucky idiot.

It is indeed, actually, though perhaps a little liberty has been taken with the translation - also keep in mind that Socrates is kind of a funny case historically(*), because he didn't write stuff; others quoted him and then did the writing, so what we have is more a quote of a quote in every case regarding him:

https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Socrates

>It is a disgrace to grow old through sheer carelessness before seeing what manner of man you may become by developing your bodily strength and beauty to their highest limit. But you cannot see that, if you are careless; for it will not come of its own accord.

Attributed to Socrates in Memorabilia by Xenophon.

(*) though not uniquely - Laozi, in China, is much the same way.

Or a 30 year old in his Superman T-Shirt (yeah that was me)

Once in the tube (London underground) a woman was about to get left out by the train doors so I hold the doors and open them (it looked like I pulled them open with my strength, but actually they open automatically when they hit something) so the woman was able to go inside and she said, “thanks Superman 😊” it took me a few seconds to realize I had the big S in my chest.

I spend the rest of the day with my fist in my hips and doing simple things as if I were super strong 😅😅. It was fun and spirit lifting.
