On vacation in Hawaii last week, I woke up in the middle of the night and stumbled about in unfamiliar space in the dark - I bumped into walls, tripped over furniture, and felt completely lost—until I found the light switch! Kinda like trading without clarity.

Day trading’s like dating: you think you’re in control, then emotions wreck it.

San Jose is tearing out perfect sidewalk to street curbs. When asked why, I was told the originals were "too steep." Too steep for who? He had no answer. Millions of dollars, for what? "Concrete" example of obvious government waste. How much more is not obvious?

"The more your brain can actually see it, the more motivating it will be. Clear and visual goals are motivating. Unclear and non-visual goals are de-motivating."

Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you'll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you'll find that you have more of it.
