Advice for an Old Man’s Son

by definition that is true

everyone cannot succeed, can they?

if they did that would make everyone average.

but in trading that would be good.....because in trading you make a little money but have a lot of freedom.
this is out of topic

 

if anyone has to earn to pay their college or course fees, he would have, to have some other qualification, where by he would meet his daily expenses.

if not since all professional training courses last 5-10 years...…..how will he avoid starving to death

 

it is easier to get blood from a stone than money from trading....anything....

 

you say you want advice for your son

I and a lot of persons can give him the best advice.

but he will not appreciate it.

or may not even understand it.

it is like a airline pilot advising on how to fly a plane...….what use is it to someone who has never flown?

 

Ouch, that's a long time.

 

everything takes time
a position takes time...….
we want it NOW......that kills it

 

Wrong side of the tracks means a different thing where I grew up. In short, it meant poor white trash. Parents who could care less about education and couldn't help you if they did. I did get bullied a lot because I was considered a nerd AND poor. But I found out early in life that if they don't notice you they will eventually leave you alone. Worked in boot camp, too.

 

Yeah I can see that happening. Good for you for getting out.
