Gung-ho Student
“As long as you are disciplined and laser-focused on learning the markets, your chances of success increase exponentially. You have to be a gung-ho student. If not, you’ll end up in the poor house.”
That quote was from the lesson How Much Trading Captial Do You Need For Forex Trading? It brought a smile to my face because what I’ve been doing here for the past two years is being a gung-ho student. It will increase my chances of success exponentially and keep me out of the poor house.
I see myself as someone who will always be a student in learning to trade as well as learning about myself. I have 56 lessons left. I’m on track to finish before February 2024. After I finish the course, I will still be a gung-ho student.
“In the end, forex trading is a numbers game, meaning you have to tilt every little factor in your favor as much as you can.”
I’m focusing on mastering my psychology with this journal because it’s one way to tilt every little factor in my favor. It’s painful to admit my mistakes and failures because it makes me look stupid. It’s also painful because I have to take responsibility and make the necessary changes that are difficult to do.
I like what @dushimes said about making changes in yourself in one of his recent posts.
This is the way. This is the way to change myself. This is the way to a new me. I will always be a gung-ho student learning to change myself.
“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.”
