The tragedy of the human condition is not that things end; it is that we are rarely present for the ending.

The world isn’t going anywhere. Build a little, rest a little, love a lot.

Revenue is vanity, profit is sanity, but cash is reality.

@tradertheory so the extra 0.1pips was worth that much profit?

[Mavin Emmanuel @omavinemmanuel]

@Uzothemaverick1 @UnkleAyo Makes sense. You're just as good at 'dismissing' me as you were at dismissing the entire context of the video. True true, I shouldn't even be arguing with a brick wall. I don go.

[Mavin Emmanuel @omavinemmanuel]

@Uzothemaverick1 @UnkleAyo I'm perfectly fine, thanks. Comprehending things actually makes life a lot easier. You should try it sometime.

@Uzothemaverick1 @UnkleAyo This is the kind of response expected from someone who only listened to reply

There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild.

He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed.

When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them.

Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate.

The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions.

Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement.

The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean.

That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.

@MadProfitGuy How did you push the sales abeg

[Mavin Emmanuel @omavinemmanuel]

"rising tide lifts all boats." It is dangerously easy to mistake a strong trend for personal genius when every buy order hits profit.

The real skill is keeping those gains when the market turns choppy or bearish. This separates the lucky gamblers from the actual traders

@joeroganhq I still don't understand how you go to someone's country after leaving yours, rather than obey the laws and respect your host, controlling your host and trying to make your host exactly like your own country you fled from becomes your passion and priority. Go back home
