“To be a super-trader, you'll need an edge to overcome the laws of probability and the uncertainty of the marketplace. That edge comes from information flow, the ability to correct your habits in terms of the market's characteristics, and being able to take risks, cut losses, expand your information network, ferret out ideas, and take recommendations.” NeedsIdeasAbleLawTermLossAbilityCuttingRiskInformationHabitFlowOvercomingEdgesUncertaintyCharacteristicsProbabilityMarketplaceTradersRecommendationsFerretsInformation Flow Author:Ari Kiev
“Trusting others puts us at risk. Yet failure to trust entails risk as well. The ability to navigate through this minefield successfully is one of life’s most valuable assets.

“COURAGE isn't an absence of fear. It is doing what you are afraid to do, letting go of the familiar and forging ahead into new territory. What I have discovered is that the best leaders have the courage to act - are willing to take the risk, make the statement, point the way, lead the way - when others hesitate out of fear. Effective leadership requires the ability to stand up, stand out, and the conviction to do it. I have never known a successful leader that was not courageous.” WayAbilityKnownLeaderSuccessfulRiskWillingLetting GoConvictionAbsenceStatementsFamiliarCourageousTerritoryStanding OutEffective LeadershipBest LeaderForgingNew TerritorySuccessful LeadersForging Ahead Author:John C.

“The Bush Administration believes the Kyoto protocol could damage our collective prosperity, and in so doing, actually put our long-term environmental health at risk. Fundamentally, we believe that the protocol both will fail to significantly reduce the long-term risks posed by climate change and, in the short run, will seriously impede our ability to meet our energy needs and economic growth.” NeedsBelieveLongRunningEnergyGrowthTermAbilityFailingRiskEconomicMental HealthClimateEnvironmentalClimate ChangeProsperityAdministrationLong TermDamageCollectivesEconomic GrowthProtocolKyotoKyoto ProtocolEnvironmental Health Author:Lawrence B.

“To dream magnificently is not a gift given to all men, and even for those who possess it, it runs a strong risk of being progressively diminished by the ever-growing dissipation of modern life and by the restlessness engendered by material progress. The ability to dream is a divine and mysterious ability; because it is through dreams that man communicates with the shadowy world which surrounds him. But this power needs solitude to develop freely; the more one concentrates, the more one is likely to dream fully, deeply.” MenWorldNeedsDreamRunningStrongGivenAbilityGrowingProgressRiskModernDivineMaterialsSolitudeCommunicateMysteriousSurroundModern LifeRestlessnessDissipation Author:Charles Baudelaire
“Without a deal [with Iran], the international sanctions regime will unravel with little ability to reimpose them. With this deal, we have the possibility of peacefully resolving a major threat to regional and international security. Without a deal, we risk even more war in the Middle East and other countries in the region would feel compelled to pursue their own nuclear programs, threatening a nuclear arms race in the most volatile region in the world.” WorldFeelsLittlesWarCountryAbilityDealsRaceRiskMiddleSecurityPossibilityArmsMajorsProgramThreatInternationalEastNuclearPursueRegionsIranRegimesMiddle EastOther CountriesNational SecurityThreateningCompelledSanctionsArms RaceNuclear ArmsNuclear Arms Race Author:Barack Obama
“Each precious moment of your life in which you are frozen with fear is a moment when you are not being all you can be. In the end, that hurts more than anything. Succeeding or failing does not determine if we are surviving or living. Rather it is in our ability to reach beyond our present self-imposed definition of who we are, and to risk becoming more, that we are able to feel fully alive.” IfsFeelsDoeEndsSelfMomentsAbleFearHurtAbilityAliveFailingRiskBecomingSucceedDefinitionsDetermineWho We AreFrozenSurvivingBecoming MorePrecious Moments Book:Fearless Living: Live Without Excuses and Love Without Regret Source: Fearless Living: Live Without Excuses and Love Without Regret
