Fortunate is the person who has learned that the most certain way to get is to first give, through some sort of useful service.

It is better to sacrifice during the age of youthfulness, than it is to be compelled to do so during the age of maturity as all who have not developed the habit of saving generally have to do.

I am thankful that i was born poor that i did not come into this world burdened by the whims of wealthy parents, with a bag of gold around my neck.

Forming the savings habit means that to some extent at least, you must seclude yourself from all except a well selected group of friends who enjoy you without elaborate entertaining on your part.

To admit you lack the courage to trim down your expenditures so that you can save money, even if only a small amount, is the equivalent of admitting at the same time a lack of the sort of character that leads to success.

It has been proved, times too numerous to mention, that people who have formed the habit of saving are always given preference in positions of responsibility.

The saving of money not only adds advantages in the nature of preferred employment and a larger bank account, but it also increases the actual earning capacity.

Any business will prefer to employ a person who saves money regularly, not only because that person saves money, but more because of the characteristics possessed by such a person which make him or her more efficient.

It should be a common practice for all business to require all employees to save money. This would be a blessing to many who would not otherwise have the willpower to form the savings habit.

Henry Ford has gone a very long way, perhaps as far as is expedient, to induce his employees not only to save their money but also to spend what they do spend wisely, and to live sanely and economically. The manager who induces their employees to form the habit of saving is a practical philanthropist.

Opportunities that come to those who have saved money.

Most people in business will not trust another person with their money unless that person has demonstrated an ability to take care of their own and use it wisely.

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...

How to Make Good Habits Inevitable and Bad Habits Impossible

Sometimes success is less about making good habits easy and more about making bad habits hard. This is an inversion of the 3rd Law of Behavior Change: make it dif icult. If you find yourself continually struggling to follow through on your plans, then you can take a page from Victor Hugo and make your bad habits more difficult by creating what psychologists call a commitment device. A commitment device is a choice you make in the present that controls your actions in the future. It is a way to lock in future behavior, bind you to good habits, and restrict you from bad ones. When Victor Hugo shut his clothes away so he could focus on writing, he was creating a commitment device. There are many ways to create a commitment device. You can reduce overeating by purchasing food in individual packages rather than in bulk size. You can voluntarily ask to be added to the banned list at casinos and online poker sites to prevent future gambling sprees. I’ve even heard of athletes who have to “mak...
 THE REAL REASON HABITS MATTER the true question is: “Are you becoming the type of person you want to become?” The first step is not what or how, but who. You need to know who you want to be. Otherwise, your quest for change is like a boat without a rudder. And that’s why we are starting here. You have the power to change your beliefs about yourself. Your identity is not set in stone. You have a choice in every moment. You can choose the identity you want to reinforce today with the habits you choose today. Building better habits isn’t about littering your day with life hacks. It’s not about flossing one tooth each night or taking a cold shower each morning or wearing the same outfit each day. It’s not about achieving external measures of success like earning more money, losing weight, or reducing stress. Habits can help you achieve all of these things, but fundamentally they are not about having something. They are about becoming someone. Ultimately, your habits matter because the...
