Rahul Dravid was not just a supremely skilful cricketer but also one whose mental conditioning has given him enormous reserves of mental strength. As in Test cricket, so in investing, the most successful investors are those who not only work on their technical skills but also think deeply about the underlying workings of great companies.
Such investors are then able to see the companies in a way that nobody else can; in specific these investors are able to gain insights into the functioning of these companies that no one else has. Furthermore, by introspecting and by reviewing their previous investment decisions, such investors are able to identify deficiencies in their investment toolset. Then, Dravid-like investors proceed to identify remedies to their deficiencies. The greatest investors, like the greatest Test cricketers, are a combination of strong technical skills combined with a growth mindset.
