Quote of the Day
Standing on the shoulders of giants.
Over a decade of quotes on trading, discipline, patience and mindset that I keep coming back to. Some from market legends, some from philosophers, a few from the trail.
Read one before the open. Then go do the work.
“I do not believe a man can ever leave his business. He ought to think of it by day and dream of it by night.”
“Gold medals aren’t really made of gold. They’re made of sweat, determination, and a hard-to-find alloy called guts.”
“Good things come to those who wait… Greater things come to those who are willing to work for it”
“No one is telling you it’s going to be easy… They are telling you it’s going to be worth it.”
“It’s always down to you and the choices you make. Work on the things you can change and never dwell on the things you can’t. You choose… ‘results’ or ‘excuses’ it’s always down to YOU… no one has ever given their BEST and regretted it. GO HARD NO EXCUSES.”
“All life demands struggle. Those who have everything given to them become lazy, selfish, and insensitive to the real values of life. The very striving and hard work that we so constantly try to avoid is the major building block in the person we are today.”
“…It takes time for your routine and good habits to become automatic and natural. It can take weeks and months to see the eventual payoff. But, in the long run, comiitment and patience will pay off. Those who are persistent WILL see the payoff. There are few things more satisfying than becoming proficient in your chosen field or discipline, and knowing that the rewards of hard work and intensive study are there to be reaped. Whatever picture you put in your mind, you will be able to achieve!”
“The only thing that I see that is distinctly different about me is I’m not afraid to die on a treadmill. I will not be out-worked, period. You might have more talent than me, you might be smarter than me, you might be sexier than me, you might be all of those things you got it on me in nine categories. But if we get on the treadmill together, there’s two things: You’re getting off first, or I’m going to die. It’s really that simple, right?
You’re not going to out-work me. It’s such a simple, basic concept. The guy who is willing to hustle the most is going to be the guy that just gets that loose ball. The majority of people who aren’t getting the places they want or aren’t achieving the things that they want in this business is strictly based on hustle. It’s strictly based on being out-worked; it’s strictly based on missing crucial opportunities. I say all the time if you stay ready, you ain’t gotta get ready.”
