  1. "When jarred, unavoidably, by circumstances, revert at once to yourself, and don't lose rythm more than you can help. You'll have a better grasp of the harmony if you keep going back to it..."
    verse 11, book 6, Meditations

    ~Marcus Aurelius~

  2. someone who is not content being hungry will not be content being fed?

  3. For a time perhaps, but to see the big picture is to see that he is just eating inorder to survive to be hungry once more...

    ps - incase you are still stuck on your 'perpetual ball bust mode' after reading this post - the food i speak of above is nothing more than an analogy for our condition - so don't take it too literally :)

  5. :D

    Personaly I'm not annoyed. On the contrary I am very amused to see that it is in trading that people feel like questioning themselves. If they could also do the same for the TRUE life itself :)

  6. As we were paddling along on the Colorado river, my dad said...Son, don't ever think we have mastered this river... this river allows us to earn a living from her.. but never forget that she can turn on us in a heartbeat and everything we have built up will be gone... always have a healthy respect the river, son.

    Every trading day..I tell myself the same thing..I just drop in the word market for river.
