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.

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...

TIME

Time is the law of hypnotic  rhythm. The lapse of time required to give permanency to thought habits depends upon the object and the nature of thoughts. Time divides all thought habits into two classes, negative thoughts and positive thoughts. One's individual thoughts are of course constantly changing and being recombined to suit the individual's desires, but thoughts do not change from negative to positive or vice versa except throught voluntary effort on the part of the individual. Time penalizes the individual for all negative thoughts and rewards him for all positive thoughts, according to the nature and purpose of the thoughts. If one's dominating thoughts are negative, time penalizes the individual by building in his mind the habit of negative thinking and then proceeds to solidify this habit into "permanency," of course, refers to the natural life of the individual. In the strict sense of the term, nothing is permanent. Time converts thought habits into wh...

THE 4TH LAW Make It Satisfying

 The Cardinal Rule of Behavior Change Everyone said handwashing was important, but few people made a habit out of it. The problem wasn’t knowledge. The problem was consistency. We are more likely to repeat a behavior when the experience is satisfying. This is entirely logical. Feelings of pleasure—even minor ones like washing your hands with soap that smells nice and lathers well—are signals that tell the brain: “This feels good. Do this again, next time.” Pleasure teaches your brain that a behavior is worth remembering and repeating.  Conversely, if an experience is not satisfying, we have little reason to repeat it. In my research, I came across the story of a woman who had a narcissistic relative who drove her nuts. In an attempt to spend less time with this egomaniac, she acted as dull and as boring as possible whenever he was around. Within a few encounters, he started avoiding her because he found her so uninteresting. Stories like these are evidence of the Cardinal Rule...
