人們總是願意花更多的時間去計劃旅行而不是規劃投資。
我們的生活總是日複一日，月複一月，如此循環往複，我們難免分心，從而影響到我們的投資決策。
然而，想要改變方向，就要先了解我們當前的位置，比如，我們在哪，我們要去哪，我們以後要往哪裡走。
你做一件事的態度就是你對待所有事物的態度。- Whitney Cumming
沉思、寫日記、自我反省以及獨處是任何學科、任何領域傑出人物的日常生活。如果我們每天只是昏昏度日，或是到處尋找投資機會，那可能會錯過很多身邊的尋常事。
我自己有件很有趣的事，就是我最好的交易思路都是在我潛水、沉思或是完全沒有思考交易的時候迸發出來的，實際上都是在我遠離電腦屏幕和交易平台的時候。
關於交易或是投資，你需要思考以下三件事：
1. 思考你的投資方式或是操作策略
2. 思考你如何影響你的策略或投資，並思考這些會對你的投資結果產生怎樣的影響。
3. 思考你在投資或交易時如何看待你自己。
總的來說，以上三點會對你的交易表現產生深遠的影響，也會極大地增加你的投資收益。
以下三點你需要重點了解：
1. 為你的成功做計劃：確保交易策略的正確性是非常重要的，作為一個交易員，你要依據自身條件來控制風險，交易的結果一定是計劃好的、恒定的。
2. 我的錢為我做了什麼？要知道，擁有一個好的交易策略，你就可以用同樣的錢獲得更高的收益，這比傳統投資強很多，比如銀行產品和債券。然而在某些情況下，你能賺到10萬美元的收益，你的鄰居卻能賺到60萬美元，投資風險還比你小。
3. 如果你花些時間去思考和改進你的策略，就可以讓你的錢為你工作，而不是你為錢而工作。
Do You See What You Get from Your Investment?
Our lives run in cycles, whether it be day by day, month by month and so on, leaving little time for investment decision making.
It is historically proven that individuals spend more time planning their vacation than they do in planning their investments.
Thus, it is completely normal that we get caught up or distracted in our daily obligations and activities, to the extent that on most days our lives run in cycles whether it be day by day, month by month and so on, leaving little time for investment decision making.
However, in order to change our direction we need to reflect and think about our current position, i.e. where we stand, where we are going or where we want to be in some period.
They way you do anything is the way you do everything. -Whitney Cummings
Some common behaviors and practices by top performing individuals in any discipline, field or area of success often include meditation, journaling, self-reflection, and solitude. If we just run through life or by extension investing opportunities then we may sometimes miss obvious things around us.
On a personal note, interestingly enough my best trading ideas came when I was underwater, or meditating, or just not thinking about trading at all. Actually, far away from computer screens and trading platforms. There are three levels of self-consciousness in trading or investing:
1. The way your investment or strategy is running
2. How you can influence your strategy or investment and how that can change the outcome of the strategy
3. How you look at yourself when you invest or trade
Taken as a whole, these three things can instigate profound repercussions on your trading performance, as well as yielding a large impact on the financial results of your investment.
To clarify, there are ultimately three key points that you need to know:
- Programming yourself for success: It is important to make sure you have the right strategy and as a trader you make constant and planned results, whereby limiting your risk to base on your personal fit.
- What is my money doing for me? Be aware that a good strategy can make you much higher levels of profit with the same amount of money than traditional investment funds, i.e. banking products and bonds. However, you can end up profiting with $100,000 just as your neighbor can with $600,000 invested with even less risk in some cases.
- If you take time to reflect and change your perception, you can make your money work harder for you than you work for your money.
