  2. Maybe someday I'll have 500+ posts like you, but it's not really a goal.

  3. I thought it in my early years...and boy now I look back it is silly. Trading, fucking and myriads of other pursuits you cannot learn by reading about... you must do, carefully first then if you see good results, ramp up your efforts...

  4. You can't learn anything by just reading about it.

    To really learn something difficult you must do it many times.

    I think something similar to this was posted on ET years ago:

    To become good at trading, read loads of "trading" books.

    Then throw them all out, and start again.
