Trade and decision

Holding a position while trading is to be identified as a testing period. An examination of the emotions. Emotions not only a barrier in trading but also the whole scenarios of life. It plays a crucial part in the molding of future. What it did to ourselves is the result of present situation. It only plays in forming the decision and that is the most important thing. Every minute we are deciding what to do, which minute we are crafting our future. If future seems vague, which is what happens for many people, it is because of the vague decisions they are making. For a person who makes decisions based on his will, he is capable of making his future like he wants. Taking control over decision has such a pivot game to play. That is the reason successful folks often known for making better decision at time. They are master in articulating the scenario and taking decision according to it.

This scenario can be largely visible among people who trade and invest. Better decision only comes with better knowledge. What they do instead makes everything worse. It is actually easy to fall in to thinking that the existing old pattern used to work would work here too. But it is not. The famous saying “what got you here never gets you there” defines everything. To make better decision we must be equipped with latest tools and learning from experience. By constantly apprising about the field in general would be great. Very few individuals do that and they are widely known as lifelong learners. Successful people are lifelong learners. They value learning like their heart companion. They often give advice to learn continuously. But the mediocre never listen and complain.

This is a global phenomenon and innate behavior ever since we were born.

Beware not to be fraud

Being cheated is common. We get cheated most of the time. Sometimes the effect is large. Only then we realise that we are being cheated. Cheating comes from false beliefs. We believe in the things that we thought to be the truth, at least we accepted as truth. By giving us the false information they are rectifying the probability of manipulation. It's easier to get convinced in this time. There is no scarcity for information. I mean made up false information. They are very likely to get hooked and there is plenty of them in the market. Only thing left to the marketers is to pick one and throw it in the face. You are most likely to engulf. Because the rule book say so, you must do so. You cannot turn your your face when you are nicely getting manipulated, the rule books say. Even the craftsman man who designed these b.s rule must've been frustrated by consequence of these rules made to the folks. They must have thought someone someday would replace it instead of blindly pursuing...

Mindset matters

The first mover advantage maybe a myth like MySpace. It is not necessary to have a first mover advantage, but it may do good if managed correctly. In the world of crypto we could see Bitcoin reigning over a decade as the leading coin. It got its first mover advantage and it is way ahead than other altcoins. But does it means it will lead forever ? Not really. I’m case of Amazon the first mover advantage was a great benefit. It is not that because of Amazon being the first to deliver goods through online, it is the ever growth mindset of Jeff Bezos. Like in case of any other thing, the important factor is not the advantage, but the mindset that drives it behind. Last day I wrote about having a progressive mindset. But when it comes to BTC, the driver behind it is clearly absent. Its first mover advantage is getting it to the top, but as soon as when one person with growth mindset comes with an equivalent product (which already happened), the first mover advantage may slay. ...

Hardest part in realization

It is one of the hardest thing to draw lessons from what we know. That is the reason why even after reading hundreds of book, we feel like we learned or to be specific realized nothing. But upon coupling with the reflection and experience, we can actually draw it from anywhere. The key still is to learn more.

Observation is the key

Too much focused on work or anything is not good at all. Not for both personal and professional. Yet we repeat the same pattern. Insanely focused in a work could bring better results. But these might lead to filter out the things we think is not at all important. But it turns out that is wrong. Often the things we wish could have were the things we merely ignored. Relationship is an example. Relationship with children and spouse often get cold when obsessed with way too much work. It is very much easy to eliminate the non essential and focus on what's important. But as the life progresses, most people realise that is not true. Giving time to nurture the relations are important as much as finishing the task. In the end all that matters is how well the life gets better. Just merely by observing the things that we thought as irrelevant may seems like a great choice to have. You might rethink and crafts the better one.

Time concious

The irony in observing time is an impediment to truly experiencing life. We make decisions based on how we see our time. Most of the decisions we make are on the notion that we have ample time in hand. But the irony is the only thing we don't have is time.

Beliefs of discount

Seasons are mostly beneficial to those who are making whole sales. The sales are driven highly with anticipation of belief that people are ready to spend money than before. It is beneficial to both the customer and seller. The main reason is the volume. In normal days, people won’t go shopping vividly and manufactures are less active. We are taught to believe that during season sales companies sell products with more discount. Sometimes with buy one get one offer. No one wants to bet large amount of money during non-seasonal days. We wait for discount to hit thus to save money. And when the discount breaks, huge amount of masses place the order. This is way more than actual sale. Discounts are certain and hence the profit. On the flipside, companies will profit like hell these days. They employ more workers during this time and install many outlets. They know they can swap money like never before. It is confusing to see who makes real profit. Both sides cannot maintain the...

Welcoming the fate

Marcus Aurelius once said " To welcome with affection what is sent by fate". He meant every word he said. It is possible to get ourselves to welcome the fate. It brings oppertunity and self control. Knowing that we can have the control of our being is powerful when it comes to being vulnerable with emotions.

Ideas can spread fast

When an idea spreads, it has a lot to do with the medium it’s travelling. Now it is ever easy to spread an idea with the help of available advanced technology tools. Every once in a minute an Idea is leaping overseas. Yet only few ideas make it to real thing. They just don’t travel, they are changing the way used to think. Only impactful ideas which have the capability to change the way people think, act and talk proliferate healthily. They get carried by different mediums. Even sometimes it even get out of grasp, which we like to call phenomenon. When an idea could easily make it to the status of phenomenon, there are lot of benefits. Here I’m not talking about the exaggerated version of the existing story, but a more effective and efficient when spread. These are easy to spread of fed properly. We can sense by the statistics when and when not to feed an idea. And it’s better keep in mind to have the copyright, if you don’t want to steal it. If a billionaire gets impressed by that not...

Trusting the guts

Following the guts feels like a task that is impossible to crack. But once we follow our intuition and persistently find the right, it always allows us to create the happiness and satisfaction we wish for. There will be the process of trial and error, but it is worth giving it.

Technology and pace

With the availability of technology, we can access to any thing in the world. Regardless of which those product belong to, it now became effortless to reach. There is a saying that whenever anything is available without effort, it becomes a product of procrastination. We did this many time if we locate ourselves in a different positions. Due to the availability of free online course, we jave certain opportunity to learn from the greater minds of the world, which is before a decade was even never would’ve imagined. Technology is rapidly growing and along with it the culture. So it is mandatory that everyone should keep a growth mindset instead of fixed ones. Because in the now world, laggards are not only left behind, but will be punished. The main reason for this is the world rewarding system is evolving itself. It no longer rewards those who works hard like cogs in the factory, instead those who keep up with the technologies. Technology evolved from being a subject to necessity. Be...
