True words

You’ve got to be very careful if you don’t know where you are going, because you might not get there.

Creating the Future

Took the liberty of posting a quote from "Trading to win" by Ari Kiev, see the link at the bottom.
Great book, a must read for those who are getting started in this trading venture and also for those who already started and are facing some difficulties.

Your trading life is a blank canvas on which you can create your vision. Your future results are not predetermined. If you can trade in the here and now, without regard to the limiting thoughts you have about how things are supposed to be and without regard to what others expect, you can begin to trade in line with your financial objective.
You create the future by speaking it and then living in terms of what you have said. In effect, you create yourself not by acting automatically in terms of some unconsciously determined sense of yourself or even by pursuing a goal that seems as if it will complete you or fulfill you.
Rather, you create yourself by committing to a vision and then becoming the living embodiment of that vision. The goal is a statement about how things ought to be that gives you a place to come from, rather than a goal to achieve. It is a stand to take, a way of trading defined
by the result.
In trading at the highest levels of effectiveness, satisfaction, and fulfillment, you allow events to unfold with a minimum of stress. Such awareness and the mastery of some of the principles outlined in this book help you to conquer fear, maximize performance, and dramatically improve your overall trading performance. You speak the future and begin to act in the present out of the future vision until gradually you become the vision itself. By doing what is necessary to bring about the result, you can transform yourself into a master of trading to win.

The Thoughtful and Aware Trader

I'm pretty sure many read the Innerworth articles, but for those who don't here is another reason for doing it from now on.
Awareness is the key to high performance. Top performers are thoughtful, and completely aware of what it takes to perform skillfully............ poor performers are "blissfully unaware of their incompetence."
not to mention how funny are those picture included on the daily articles :)

One of my favourites is ..

Don't worry about what the markets are going to do, worry about what you are going to do in response to the markets.

Steaua Buc. Defeated 3-0 the norvegian championship leader Valerenga
and finally Dinamo Buc. beat at home the 4th. place team in the England premiership, Everton with an astonishing 5-1 to came as close as it gets to qualifying in the Uefa Groups.
