dicipline, integrity, honesty, understanding, respect for those around you, a love for what you do, the desire to always be better than you were yesterday, focus on a goal or goals, and a passion for living life to its fullest.
When everyone tells you that you can't make it or that you will fail, you have to just BELIEVE in yourself. I feel that "who believes the most...wins!". Only death can stop the person who TRULY BELIEVES! Lets see, in life who truly believed in their abilities; Wright Brothers Thomas Edison Jesse Owens 1980 USA Hockey Team General Patton The Founding Fathers Apollo 11 Crew this is just a very small list of a range of people who had extraordinary results in their lives from the ability to Believe!
Most Important is the first one "Dicipline" both in your trading and your life. Take trading as your hobby to enjoy doing it and as your business to make it your only the source of income. (in the future, but not before you become profitable).
You're making a logical error here since there is unlikely to be a record of those who BELIEVED yet failed anyway. Who'd care? And, of course, there are those who believed in themselves and achieved results of a different sort, like Adolph Hitler, Fidel Castro, Orval Faubus . . .
Not a key, but many keys at the same time incluing work hard, pray hard, and luck. But the truth is that there is no job out there to work, nothing at all. All the market rose about was just not about jobs. Please let me know if you know job information. Thank you.
