The law of social heredity

It is hardly sufficient to say that social heredity is the method through which humans gather all knowledge that reaches us through the five senses. It is more to the point to say how social heredity works, in as many different applications as will give you a comprehensive understanding of that law.

you are fortunate if you have learned the difference between temporary defeat and failure, more fortunate still, if  you have learned the truth that the very seed of success is dormant in every defeat that you experience.


It is well known fact that a fox will prey upon all manner of fowl and small animals, with the exception of skunk. No reason need to be stated as to why Mr. Skunk enjoys immunity. A fox may tackle a skunk once, but never twice! for this reason a skunk hide, when nailed to a chicken roost, will keep all but the very young and inexperienced foxes at a safe distance.

The odor of a skunk, once experienced, is never to be forgotten. No other smell even remotely resembles it. It is nowhere recorded that any mother fox ever thought her young how to detect and keep away from the familiar smell of a skunk, but all who are informed on fox lore know that foxes and skunks never seek lodging in same cave. Just one lesson is sufficient to teach the the fox all it cares to know about skunks. Through the law of social heredity, operating via the sense of smell, one lesson serves for an entire lifetime.

A bullfrog can be caught on a fishhook by attaching a small piece of red cloth or any other small red objects to the hook and dangling it in front of the frog's nose. Mr Frog may be caught this manner provided he is hooked the first time he snaps at the bait. But if he is poorly hooked and makes a get away, or if he feels the point of the hook when he bites at the bait but is not caught, he will never make the same mistake again. Just one lesson in social heredity is enough to teach even humble frog that bits of red flannel are things to be left alone.

Is it not strange that we fear most of which never happens? We destroy our initiative by the fear of defeat when, in reality, defeat is a most useful tonic and should be accepted as such.

The term social heredity, refers to all methods through which a child is taught any idea,dogma,creed,religion or system of ethical conduct, by its parents or by those who may have the authority over it before reaching the age at which it may reason and reflect upon such teaching in its own way.

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...
 Loss is painful, guilt can be devastating. Worse than losing one's dream is the knowledge that the loss was self-inflicted. Problems are solutions that have outlived their usefulness. Problems are pattern that were learned in emotional circumstances during one period of life and that now have taken an existence of their own. Many times, outdated solutions replay themselves in a variety of life situations, leaving people mindlessly repeating their mistakes in work, love, and trading. There can be no free will for people who are locked into patterns developed for past challenges. Successful traders are therapists both learn to do what comes unnaturally. The resolution to problems can be found in what people are doing when those problems are not occurring. The problem with many traders is not that they have problems, but that they are focused on their problems. It is this problem focus that prevents them from appreciating what they are doing right, that blinds them to solutions alrea...

Wealth file #1 Rich people believe "I create my life" Poor people believe "Life happens to me."

You have to believe that you are the one who creates your success, that you are the one who creates your mediocrity, and that you are the one creating your struggle around money and success. Consciously or unconsciously, it's still you. Instead of taking responsibility for what's going on in their lives, poor people choose to play the role of the victim . A victim's predominant thought is often "poor me." So presto. by virtue of the law of intention, that's literally what victims get: they get to be "poor." That said how can you tell when people are playing the victim? Victim Clue #1: Blame Victims blame the economy, they blame the government, they blame the stock market, they blame their broker, they blame their type of business, they blame their manager, they blame the head office, they blame their spouse, they blame God and of course they always blame their parents. It's always someone else or something else that is to blame. The probl...
