Get on stage. Try stuff. Make your best stab and keep stabbing. If it's there in your heart, it will eventually find its way out. Or you will give up and have a prudent, contented life doing something else. Joseph Teller
"Sometimes the simplest lessons are the hardest to learn, and they take a long time to sink in."
Success in business requires training and discipline and hard work. But if you're not frightened by these things, the opportunities are just as great today as they ever were. David Rockefeller
“If a man didn't make mistakes he'd own the world in a month. But if he didn't profit by his mistakes he wouldn't own a blessed thing.”
“You remember Dickson G. Watts' story about the man who was so nervous that a friend asked him what was the matter. "I can't sleep," answered the nervous one. "Why not?" asked the friend. "I am carrying so much cotton that I can't sleep thinking about it. It is wearing me out. What can I do?" "Sell down to the sleeping point," answered the friend.
"Clarity will come. Wait for it. Again, do not take trades simply because you hate missing out. Are you trading for excitement or profit?"
"A main lesson is that you have to trade in a way that is comfortable to you. If you are losing your sleep or feeling anxious, reduce your position... or perhaps adjust the way you trade."
"It is the defining characteristic of an amateur to think of individual trades in terms of money. A pro simply thinks of doing the right thing, win or lose."
“Make a pact with yourself today to not be defined by your past. Sometimes the greatest thing to come out of all your hard work isn't what you get for it, but what you become for it. Shake things up today! Be You...Be Free...Share.” ― Steve Maraboli
"The home run hitter is the one we pay to see. Everyone wants to be there when a 500-foot home run is blasted into the upper deck. Even if you know nothing about baseball, balls hit far into blue sky inspire awe."
"If there is one ‘greatest commandment’ for a trader, it is to ‘know thyself ’. Livermore did not consider any financial price too great to pay for some self-knowledge."

"The great traders will not quit. They practice. They learn. They stick with it."
"People who look for easy money without knowledge invariably pay for the privilege of proving conclusively that it cannot be found on this sordid earth."
"Destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for; it is a thing to be achieved." William Jennings Bryan
"Go try trading using fundamentals alone. Go lose some serious money. Isn’t amassing a comprehensive set of economic data for all markets worldwide impossible? It is vital to focus on what is happening rather than on what should happen."
"A trader is a lot like a doctor diagnosing an illness. There is a need for a series of keen observations and deductions. Moreover, experience is a must, counted in years, and cannot be substituted by anything else."
“The spirit, the will to win and the will to excel --- these are the things what will endure and these are the qualities that are so much more important than any of the events themselves.” LOMBARDI
