Accurate Thinking Part 2

It would be a mistake to believe that what you hear, see, or read is fact. It only means that today bias is less obvious and we must be even more astute when searching for the facts necessary for accurate thinking.

Most of people say they.. get their news from television. That means they're inadequately informed, too poorly informed to exercise their rights in a democracy. You cannot give people enough information on the nightly news.
-Walter Cronkite

In the realm of legal procedure there is a principle called the law of evidence, and the object of this law is to get all the facts. Any judge can proceed  with justice to all concerned if they have the facts upon which to base their judgement, but they may play havoc with innocent people if they circumvent the law of evidence and reach a conclusion or judgement that is based on hearsay information.

The specific rules of evidence vary according to the subject and circumstances with which they are used, but you will not go far wrong if you follow this rule: If you do not have hand facts to work from, Form judgement on the part of the evidence before you you that furthers your own interests without working any hardship on others and is based on facts.

Many people mistake, knowingly or otherwise, expediency for fact doing something, or refraining from doing it, for the sole reason that their action furthers their own interests without consideration as to whether it interferes with the rights of others.

The accurate thinker deals with facts, regardless of how they affect his or her own interests, for they know that ultimately this policy will bring them out on top, in full possession of the object of their definite chief aim in life, They understand the soundness of the philosophy that Croseues had in mind when he said, "There is a wheel on which the affairs of men revolve, and its mechanism is such that it prevents any man from being always fortunate."

The accurate thinker adopts a standard by which they guide them self, and they follow that standard at all times. The standard is observed as faithfully when it brings temporary disadvantage as it is when it brings outstanding advantage. Using Accurate Thinking, they know that by the law of averages they will more than regain, at some future time, that which is lost when the result of applying this standard is to their own temporary detriment.

You must understand that it requires the staunchest and most unshakable character to become an accurate thinker, for there can be a certain amount of temporary penalty attached to accurate thinking. But the compensating reward is so overwhelmingly greater that you will gladly pay this penalty.

To many a man, and sometimes to a youth, there comes the opportunity to choose between honorable competence and tainted wealth.

The young man who starts out to be poor and honorable, holds in his hand one of the strongest elements of success.

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...

So what is your money blueprint set for?

Are you programmed for managing your money well or mismanaging it? Are you a spender or a saver ? Wealth principle: The only way to permanently change the temperature in the room is to reset the thermostat. In the same way, the only way to change your level of financial success "permanently" is to reset your financial thermostat. You can become an expert in real estate or the stock market. All of these are tremendous "tools." But in the end, without an inner "tool-box" that is big enough and strong enough for you to create and hold on to large amounts of money, all the tools in the world will be useless to you. Your income can grow only to the extent that you do. Remember that the first element of all change is awareness.Watch yourself, become conscious, observe your thoughts, your fears, your beliefs, your habits, your actions, and even your inactions. Put yourself under a microscope. Study yourself. Wealth principle: Consciousness is observin...

Wealth File #4 Rich people think big. Poor people think small

Wealth principle: The law of Income: You will be paid in direct proportion to the value you deliver according to the marketplace. The keyword is value. It's important to know that four factors determine your value in the marketplace: supply,demand,quality and quantity. The factor that presents the biggest challenge for most people is the quantity. The quantity factor simply means, how much of your value do you actually deliver to the marketplace? Another way of stating this is, how many people do you actually serve or affect? Most people choose to play small. Why? First, because of fear. They're scared to death of failure and they're even more frightened of success. Second, people play small because they feel small. They feel unworthy. They don't feel they're good enough or important enough to make a real difference in people's lives. But hear this: your life is not just about you. It's also about contributing to others. It's about living true...
