Quotes of the Day

Trader Gav often quotes great traders - both past and present.  Here are a few quotes you will never see there, but have helped me achieve mediocrity in my trading and life in general.

• You can’t fail if you don’t try!
• No crap, no crop!
• Its a faith walk, not a cake walk.

The first quote really shouldn’t require an explanation.  Many people live their lives paralyzed by fear.  Its that fear that won’t allow them to take risks.  If you never try, you can’t fail.  The very fact that you are reading this blog, you are setting yourself up for failure.  Statistically, most of us won’t make it.  Personally, I would rather try and fail, than to wonder if I could have achieved greatness.  Btw, if you read the posts by the other MTM contributors, you actually may stand a chance of success. :-)

No crap, no crop.  It takes plenty of fertilizer to grow a bountiful crop.  To reap a harvest in our life, we often have to put up with a ton of crap.  I edited that remark to maintain the family rating of this site.  You get the picture.

Its a faith walk, not a cake walk.  Whether your faith lies in God, yourself, or a combination of both, any journey worth pursuing takes faith.  Nobody said it would be easy — especially trading.
