  3. I missed IMPORTANT criteria in analysis = cognitive blindness


    Inattentional blindness

  7. “Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life‘s coming attractions.” -Albert Einstein

    It all starts in your trading imagination, not just in your own personal world but in the world around you. Everything you see that is man made is something that started off in someone’s imagination. You can harness that power whenever you choose to in order to set up what’s on the way for you.

    The Winner sees an answer for every problem;
    The Loser sees a problem for every answer.

    Winners see the potential;
    Losers see the past.

    Winners see the possibilities;
    Losers see the problems.

    The Winner always has a program;
    The Loser always has an excuse.

    The Winner says, "It may be difficult, but it is possible";
    The Loser says, "It may be possible, but it is too difficult".

    Winners have dreams;
    Losers have schemes.

    Winners use hard arguments but soft words;
    Losers use soft arguments but hard words.

    Winners make it happen;
    Losers let it happen.
