Enthusiasm

The lucky or successful person has learned a simple secret call up, capture, evoke the feeling of success. When you feel successful and self confident, you will act successfully
-Maxwell Maltz

Enthusiasm is a state of mind that inspires and arouses one to put action into the task at hand. It is contagious, and vitally affects not only the enthusiast, but all with whom they come in contact as well.

The greatest leaders are the one who know how to inspire Enthusiasm in their followers.

How enthusiasm will affect you
Mix enthusiasm with your work and it will not seem difficult or monotonous. Enthusiasm will so energize your entire body that you can get along with less than half the usual amount of sleep and at the same time it will enable you to perform two or three times as much work as you usually perform in a given period, without fatigue.

Without enthusiasm you would resemble an electric battery without electricity.
Enthusiasm is the vital force with which you recharge your body and develop a dynamic personality.
Some people are blessed with natural enthusiasm, while others must acquire it.

The procedure through which it may be developed is simple. It begins by doing the work you like.
If you cannot engage in the work that you like best, for the time being, then you can continue in another line very effectively by adopting a definite chief aim that contemplates your engaging in your chosen work at some future time.

Lack of money and other circumstances over which you have no control may force you to engage in work that you do not like, but no one can stop you from determining in your own mind what your definite chief aim in life shall be. Nor can anyone stop you from planning ways and meas for translating this aim into reality, and nor can anyone stop you from mixing enthusiasm with your plans.

Happiness, the final object of all human effort is a state of mind that can be maintained only through the hope of future achievement. The happy person is the one who dreams of heights of achievement that are yet unattained. The things that you intended to own, there are the things that produce happiness.

There are the things over which you may become enthusiastic, no matter what your present station in life may be.

How your enthusiasm will affect others suggestion is the principle through which your words and your acts and even your state of mind influence others.

One feels the noblest, and acts the best, when the inspiration of enthusiasm drives him onward toward the attainment of some pre-established goal.

Your acts will count for more than your words, and woe unto you if the two fail to harmonize.

CAN A FIRM ALWAYS SPOT THE NEXT GREAT TRADER?

 No. But a prop firm can tell who has a poor chance to become a CPT. To be good at anything will take everything you have. Not having developed the skills to work hard is a turn-off. Trading is a skill learned by doing, not just by reading a lot, theorizing, or the faux art of “paper trading.” THE PROS AND CONS OF RECRUITING EXPERIENCED TRADERS Loyalty is a good thing to a point, but it cannot trump logistics and reality. losing money should really bother you. If I am negative three days in a row, I spend a long evening on my couch with a bottle of red wine and comfort food. As traders, we can all recite the memorable line from Wall Street: “A man looks in the abyss, there is nothing staring back at him. At that moment he discovers his character. That keeps the man out of the abyss.”  Traders don’t talk about how they want to trade, what they want to read about trading, or how they wish they could talk about trading. Traders trade, read about trading, and talk about trading.

Not liquidating a losing trade, even after you have acknowledged the trade's potential is greatly diminished. 3. Getting locked into a specific opinion or belief about market direction.
