Always seeking but never finding

This might be describe the human struggle for happiness and contentment.

Life is an everlasting question mark. That which we want most is always in the embryonic distance of the future. Our power to acquire is always a decade or so behind an power to desire.

And if we catch up with the thing we want,we no longer want it!

People cease to interest us when we find their limitations. The only sin is limitation. As soon as you once come up with a man's limitations, it is all over with him.

How beautiful the mountain yonder in distance. But the moment we draw near it we find it to be nothing but a wrenched collection of rocks and dirt and trees.

Out of the truth grew oft repeated adage "Familiarity breeds contempt."

Beauty and happiness and contentment are states of mind. They can never be enjoyed except through vision of the afar.

Destroy the hope of unfinished dreams in a person's heart and he or she is finished.

The moment we cease to cherish the vision of the future of achievement we are through.

Nature has built us so that our greatest and only lasting happiness is that which we feel in the pursuit of some yet unattained object. Anticipations is sweeter than realization.

Life's greatest inconsistency is that most of what we believe is not true.

One need not seek opportunity in the distance, that opportunity may be found in the vicinity of one's birth.

Opportunity may be found wherever one really looks for it, and nowhere else!

The greatest miracle of all miracles is faith.

If your world is one limitation, misery and want, it is because you have not yet realized that you have in your own mind a laboratory that is equipped to the power of faith.

If we may judge the possibilities of the future by the achievements of the past, the miracles remaining to be uncovered are vastly greater in number and nature than those that have been revealed in the past. It is not yet revealed what our destiny may be.

This is an age of revelation!

The miracles of the future will be revealed by science.

Maximizing Your Profits with Scoring

SETTING YOUR MAXIMUM INTRADAY TRADING LOSS First things first: set a max intraday trading loss. There will be days when you just do not have it. Why do you think coaches pull their players when they are not playing well? They are more harmful on the field than off. When you are underperforming, you are hurting your team and your trading business. You need a system to yank yourself over to the bench. A stop loss is your answer. TRADING BASED UPON THE TIME OF DAY A good trader makes note of what time of day it is, when he trades most profitably, and adjusts his trading to fit such times. Your numbers at the end of the month will not reflect your true trading potential. Make the most trades with the most size during the trading periods that statistically are most profitable for you. Money saved during your weaker trading periods is money earned. Consistency The fact is that most trades you make will start working for you right away. But the new traders also hold stocks that are trading ag...

Self-Discipline

One must gain mastery over self the person who is not master of himself can never be master of others. Lack of self-mastery is, of itself, the most destructive form of indefiniteness. By mastering the three appetites responsible for most of one's lack of self discipline. The three appetites are (1) The desire for food, (2) The desire for expression of sex, (3) The desire to express loosely organized opinions. When a man becomes master of these three appetites, he has developed enough self-discipline to conquer easily those of lesser importance. Self mastery contempates sufficient control over the appetites to enable one to feed them what they need and withhold food not needed. Take the desire for physical food, for example. The majority of people are so weak in self discipline they fill their stocmachs with combinations of rich food which please the taste but overwork the organs of digestion and elimination. They pour into their stomachs both quantity and combinations of food which...

THE POWER OF COOPERATIVE ORGANIZED EFFORT

In Think and Grow Rich Hill writes: "If you pray for a thing, but have fear as you pray that you may not receive it, or that your prayer will not be acted upon by infinite intelligence, your prayer will have been in vain." THERE IS NO SUCH THING  AS A SELF-MADE MAN.  YOU WILL REACH YOUR GOALS  ONLY WITH THE HELP OF OTHERS.  -George Shinn  The three most important factors that enter into the process of organizing effort are Concentration, Cooperation, and coordination. We are living in an age of cooperative effort. Nearly all successful businesses are conducted under some form of Cooperation. The same is true in the field of industry and finance, as well as in the professional field. It is slowly becoming obvious that those who most efficiently apply the principle of cooperative effort survive longest, and that this principle applies from the lowest form of animal life to the highest form of human endeavor. Cooperation is the very foundation of...
