Recently picked up trading. This is what I found out:
Stay humble when you win. Give yourself credit when you lose (especially if you cut it early).
Losses aren’t failure, they’re part of the game.
Every trade teaches you something. The most important thing - show up.
There is a story of a king who gathered all his smartest merchants and told them to come up with something that will make the bad times better and remind him in the good times to be grateful and humble.
They came up with:
“This too shall pass”
"You do not rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems." - James Clear
A goal is great to have so you know what to aim for, but systems are the things that will get you to that goal.
“Today I start a new life, today i change my old skin which for too long suffered from the hits of failure and the pains of average. Today i develop new and better habits and i become their slave.” - Og Mandino
“Never offer Satisfaction unless it is demanded”
And if they do demand it, it is a kind of crime to give more than necessary. To excuse oneself before there is and occasion is to accuse oneself.
-Baltasar Gracián maxim n.246
Don’t explain yourself when no one demands it.
“How you do anything, is how you do everything.” - John Wick 4
When was the last time you actually tried?
Give 100% to anything you do, so that when it matters most you can give it everything you have!
