Back in 1978, a mathematician named Jim Simons left academia to trade currencies.
A decade later, he launched the Medallion Fund.
It would go on to become the most successful investment fund in history.
Not one of the best.
The best.
For over two decades, it averaged roughly 66% annual returns.
During the 2008 financial crisis, while firms were collapsing, Medallion returned over 100%.
The obvious question is…
How?
Jim Simons wasn’t predicting markets.
He wasn’t drawing trendlines or trying to guess where price would go next.
He built models that searched for tiny statistical edges and executed them over and over again.
The edge wasn’t massive.
The consistency was.
That’s the lesson every trader should take from Jim.
Profitability isn’t about having a 100% win rate.
It’s about finding an edge, protecting your risk, and giving probability enough trades to do what it’s designed to do.
The biggest difference between profitable and unprofitable traders usually isn’t the strategy.
It’s the consistency with which they execute that strategy.
In the Grand scheme of things
Make sure you’re making MONEY, every things else is noise
Lock-In
Take risks
Do not be afraid of failure
You’re not getting any younger‼️

There’s a Japanese saying:
“If you feel like you’re losing everything, remember, trees lose their leaves every year, yet they still stand tall and wait for better days to come.”
People who are usually private and reserved, even with their friends, end up sharing all manner of personal details on a long flight with a stranger they will never meet again.
This sentence by Dostoyevsky never fails to hit hard:
��You sensed that you should be following a different path, a more ambitious one, you felt that you were destined for other things but you had no idea how to achieve them and in your misery you began to hate everything around you.”
This sentence from Carl Jung hits hard.
“No matter how isolated you are and how lonely you feel, if you do your work truly and conscientiously, unknown friends will come and seek you.”
I AM ABOUT TO ENTER INTO THE MOST ABUNDANT, BALANCED, RICH, AND SUCCESSFUL SEASON OF MY LIFE.
I NATURALLY ATTRACT GOOD FORTUNE, AND I AM RICH IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE.
I GIVE MYSELF FULL PERMISSION TO PROSPER, AND I HOLD THE POWER TO CREATE THE LIFE I DESIRE
AMEN.
Happy Sunday💜
Derek Sivers said it right:
“Mastery is the best goal because the rich can’t buy it, the impatient can’t rush it, the privileged can’t inherit it, and nobody can steal it. You can only earn it through hard work. Mastery is the ultimate status.”
This paragraph by Richard Feynman hits so hard:
“Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn’t matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don’t think about what you want to be, but what you want to do. Keep up some kind of a minimum with other things so that society doesn’t stop you from doing anything at all.”
I get blown away every time I read this paragraph by Carl Jung:
To love someone else is easy, but to love what you are, the thing that is yourself, is just as if you were embracing a glowing red-hot iron: it burns into you and that is very painful. Therefore, to love somebody else in the first place is always an escape which we all hope for, and we all enjoy it when we are capable of it. But in the long run, it comes back on us. You cannot stay away from yourself forever, you have to return, have to come to that experiment, to know whether you really can love. That is the question-whether you can love yourself, and that will be the test.
