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...

INSPIRE COOPERATIVE AND PERSONAL ACTION

There are essentially two kinds of people of action. One might be called the caretaker type and the other the promoter or salesperson type. Both types are essential in business, industry, and finance. One of them is known as a dynamo while the other is often referred to as a balance wheel. Once in a great while you find someone who is both a dynamo and a balance wheel, but such a personality combination is rare. Most successful business organizations are made up of both types. The balance-wheel type who does nothing but compile facts and figures and statistics is just as much a person of action as the one who gets on a stage and sells an idea to a thousand people by the sheer power of their active personality. To determine whether or not someone is a person of action, it is necessary to analyze both their mental and their physical habits. The world pays you for what you do and not for what you know. That statement might easily be misconstrued. What the world really pays you for ...

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...
