I am still going over the next batch of videos - I did not select any of these, just going through them. I think I did not have a very good understanding of Karma. There is actually a real difference between Karma as defined by Bouddhism, compared to other philosophical/spritual use of Karma. The Bouddhist approach seems to me to have a more "common-sense" and logical approach. *** local culture : I can really say that Far East and South East Asians do really deserve respect and admiration. It is clear that the values and attitudes promoted by Boudhism forms the core of their culture. I would say I have always had a kind of positive views of people from the Far East and South East Asia. But I assumed, these were kind of "pre-selected" via immigration. Aka, we were mostly getting the best of the Far East and South East Asia, and so this is why by their own attitude and values, they always deserved respect. But to see that their attitudes and mindset is actually a cultural thing - not just a small group - is very remarkable. It looks like each Far East and South East Asian advertise positively these admirable core values. *** economics : labour market It is also very interesting, to see a country with full employment ( unemployment rate of around 3% !!!!). I can't help contrasting this to EU countries rate running at 2 digits, with some pockets having more than 50% unemployment rate. But observing here, for each industry, all sizes of business are represented. For instance, for the catering business, from street "restaurant" , to more formal restaurants... It looks like in Western countries, business competition is actually being limited by increasing the capital cost of entry for brick and mortars businesses. Basically, one can not just put some tables and chairs out, and with a cooker start a 24hrs "open-air" restaurant.
<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Nsd64zyTgAs?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> The more I observe Far East and South Asians , The more I learn about their philosophy, The more I understand why they really deserve respect. Very interesting description of animal-like behavior. lol. So, actually, what I was taught is also being taught here! lol. "Dhamma protector, not ego protector" lol. I can see why it is useful for trading.
I am really impressed by the South East and Far East Asians. They prevented me from being crooked by some assholes. Looking to rent privately an accomodation... and turns out that the person rents it out, and then have the same room used by their accomplice without you being informed. YUP! Disgusting. I am just so glad I got informed about the scam by some SE and FE Asians, and I am glad I reacted in the safest way as possible : get out of the situation asap. I even preferred to leave quiet a lot of stuff there rather than go back there. lol. . This will give me an opportunity to renew all actually, and I am very glad the prices here are reasonable. Lesson : avoid some people who have a really disgusting "culture". They really know how to turn people racist. lol. Now, I am going to really enter the Boudhism path, not to sign up as a monk. but I really like that they have a very good understanding of "realities". And to see the very positive effect of their philosophy of harmony, respect, etc... is very warming. The trading : I have reduced the risk of the total var to 1%. A trade risk is really less than 1%. And to be honest, it makes things easier : log in for 30 minutes max to enter the orders, let it do its job - stopped out or target reached. Much easier now. Obviously when planning the profit increases , get a digit removed. But the name of the game is compounding
The trading is really extremely boring. I feel like I am now just doing the same thing. The little var is really not making the trades "exciting" ( huge gain or huge loss): it is just compounding. Slowly compounding, and it is extremely boring as well. fixed the mistake that lead to 3 losses in a row during one of the night session. It is just so strange to just see the tiny pot just increasing rounds after rounds. What I find interesting is it is not spectacular, but it is just increasing and compounding. Adding little by little, and it is increasing. It is quiet strange to now just have to be patient and watch the compounding effect. <iframe width="640" height="390" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/GTklPSfQv_o" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Now it is about counting the number of "rounds" to double the pot. Then count the number of doubling. I just realize that I never really understood the power of the exponential function. <iframe width="640" height="390" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/yTfHn9Aj7UM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I am continuing to fully visit this place : I am just so astonished by the level of energy here. It's a very dynamic place. I am aiming to really enjoy it to the full. Just these few 2 weeks to get some serious dough. I am wondering if some "incident" here were not about getting me to slow down a little bit.
Trading is a funny game : it turns many "truths" upside down. high risk / high rewards ? no necessarily true. low risk Compounded to high rewards. lol. exciting activity ? not necessarily true. an extremely repetitively boring activity. ...
" Let me repeat here : I only do face to face meetings after airport bio-metric checks. This coupled with trading checks. . If you are using any other "modus operandi" 1) Please get lost, as it means you have zero respect knowing very well how these methods were used in the past to totally create false representation, and used for slandering via very much directed and manipulated conversations. 2) Also, I only deal with people who have a minimum of honesty and respect. So "fake" and "hiding" : fuck off. If you can not even understand why people prefer honesty, openess: better you get lost. 3) If you do not have the guts for a face to face meeting after bio-metric passport check and trading capability check : keep your mouth shut and get lost. And let me repeat : I am not "playing" your slandering games. Of fabricating situations, and manipulating and directing conversations via third parties ( who have in the past tried to pose as anybody!). Those I have had a face to face discussion after all the checks, were just very apologetic after face to face clarifications. As I had asked, they had in writing what statements, situations they wanted clarifications. So anything over than face to face after full checks : FUCK OFF. "
"... and any 'public speaker' who likes hiding behind third parties to interview : FUCK OFF". Time to move on. And by the way, I have been very much encouraged to blatantly LIE whenever we know that the 'public speaker' is doing 'fake and manipulated interviews' . Now go and find proofs! - a whole house shooting: proof ? where? when ? how many ? - a whole table died by poisoning: proof ? who ? when? where? So again : FUCK OFF and MOVE ON. And please take with you whoever was very happy to use these disgusting methods. Next advised lie to tell is : on average 100 people bedded per hour. Hope you all believe it. Please send in a question directed toward this. Oh yeah, and also - obviously the 'whore' is just glad to have bedrooms meetings and bed on the spot with any peace of meat! LOL. Please MOVE ON or ADD HOURS TO YOUR PSY or even CHECK IN FOR A FULL STAY IN A PSY WARD Thanks in advance.
Off for some calm and quietness till december into another meditation retreat. I am really glad the place was booked on site, hopefully there will only be South East and Far East Asians there. I really admire their mentality. I might become a Buddhist meditation addict.lol. Also, it will be interesting to see how my long term trade performs.
I've had quite a very long discussion with the coach regarding the fact that even here, stalking and harassment took place. Though the coach absolutely do not feel sorry at all for the deranged female behind all of this, I actually do feel sorry for her. I simply can not help realizing that because of all the sh*t she has done out there, nobody is willing or care enough about her to really help her. And mostly for her to accept the real effective help she needs. I really do not know if it is Karma in action... When back in the UK summer 2014, I think I will go my way to reach out to her and help her accept that she now needs to take full-time stay in psychiatric hospital. It is not that bad there : they have specialists that can really help her. Regarding the last saga : trying to get a guy's girl to be intimate with the guy's brother is very gross. I am glad we understood quickly what was taking place. And in the meantime, understanding someone's family situation regarding older brothers and sisters just brought an immense compassion for what the person had to endure. In a strange way, very much similarities, and understanding and compassion is much easier. <iframe width="640" height="390" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/KYpGj1mD-Rg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> ( just for us to remember , the lad is actually a multi-multi billionnaire... forbes does not include every billionnaire...) Expect not what you'd expect, but a really nice and warming surprise. <iframe width="640" height="390" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/KYpGj1mD-Rg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> So that me off for another meditation retreat. This time, as I have had experience, I can list the benefits I will look to gain from this retreat: - accept that to reach the goal will take 2.5 years with max var risked of 1%. - accept the need to be very patient. When we have been running tests from trading results, it felt extremely depressing to think 1% risked, instead of var risked of 10%,... But then the idea is compounding will get us there. - accept that a tiny plus increase of the capital is a positive step forward - remove the greed that made me want to have fabulous returns, on very high position sizing - be happy to know that 2.5 years of steady compounding will get the goal reached.
