Wisdom For Today

Every answer to every problem you have ever faced is in print (books).
All the mistakes you will ever make in your life have already been made by those that have walked before you. Do you really think that the challenges you are facing are unique to you?
All the problems anyone has ever, and will ever face over the course of their lifetime have already been made.

More importantly, the answers and solutions are all recorded on the pages of books. Read the right books. Learn how those who have preceded you have handled the challenges you are currently facing. Apply their strategies for success and you will be astonished by the improvements you will note in your life.

It's not what you will get out of the books that is so enriching  it is what the books will get out of you that will ultimately change your life. Books do not actually teach you anything new.

Books simply help you to see what is already within your self. That's what enlightenment is all about.

Personal Reflection
The power of inner contemplation. By taking the time to get to know yourself, you will connect to a dimension of your being that you never knew you had.

 Personal reflection is nothing more than the habit of thinking.
Most of us do think. The problem is that most people think just enough to survive. What I am speaking about with this ritual is thinking enough to thrive.

Stop making excuses and just do it! Take the time to think. Get into the regular habit of personal introspection.

You do have the power to control your day. You do have the power to think good thoughts. You do have the power to live your dreams!

The power of Personal Reflection
By looking at what you are doing, how you are spending your day and the thoughts you are thinking, you give yourself a benchmark for measuring improvement. The only way to improve tomorrow is to know what you did wrong today.And come up with a clear plan so that it doesn't happen again.

There is nothing wrong with making mistakes. Mistakes are part of life and essential for growth. It's like that saying, 'Happiness comes through good judgment, good judgment comes through experience, and experience comes through bad judgment.' But there is something very wrong with making the same mistakes over and over again, day in and day out. This shows a complete lack of self-awareness, the very quality that separates humans from animals.

Only a human being can step out of himself and analyze what he is doing right and what he is doing wrong. A dog cannot do this. A bird cannot do this. Even a monkey cannot do it. But you can.
Figure out what is right and what is wrong in your days and in your life. Then set about making immediate improvements.

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...

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...

Where thought prevails, power may be found!

If you think you are beaten, you are; if you think you dare not you don't; If you like to win, but you think you can't, it is almost certain you won't, If you think you'll lose, you've lost, for out of the world we find success begins with a fellow's will it's all in the state of mind. If you think you are outclassed, you are - you've got to think high to rise. You've got to be sure of yourself before you can ever win a prize. Life's battle don't always go to the stronger or faster man, But soon or late the man who wins is the man who thinks he can. No one knows what hidden forces lie dormant within you. You, yourself, do not know your capacity for achievement, and you never will know until you come in contact with the particular stimulus that arouses you to greater action and extends your vision, develops your self confidence, and moves you with a deeper desire to achieve. The most important turning points of life often comes at the ...
