Ten Weekend Thoughts From Dr. Brett

* Distractions come from unfinished business;

* I've yet to meet an impressive person who has needed to impress people;

* Passion without commitment is wasted energy;

* The early bird gets the worm; the night hawk gets the early bird;

* Success comes when doing things right is combined with doing the right things;

* When you are doing what you're meant to be doing, effort gives energy;

* In trading, as in life, you succeed by acting decisively on your convictions;

* You will never win if your goal is to not lose;

* Successful people are productive; they traffic in efforts, not intentions;

* Narcissism craves admiration; self-esteem desires understanding.

My weekend thought: after finishing "Enhancing Trader Performance" I picked up "Outlier" by Malcom Gladwell. Maybe you already know, but it has some interesting connection with your book. If you are abouve a certain minimum threshold level to do something (your strenght) and you do something that you like (you found your niche), training and pratice it what you need to execel: how much? 10.000 hours. Ciao.
