Trading maketh sense

Trading is a crucible of life: it distills, in a matter of minutes, the basic human challenge: the need to judge, plan, and seek values under conditions of risk and uncertainty. In mastering trading, we necessarily face and master ourselves. Very few arenas of life so immediately reward self-development--and punish its absence. (Brett Steenbarger)

..after meandering around every kind of occupation and vocation,finally dawned on me to get a little smart with all these "smart" money managers taking home the lion's share of the bacon while we farmers bin tilling the land in hot sun for generations..

..and if mastering oneself is all that it took ,compare that to trying to communicate day in and day out with obstinate oxen..hell this looks easy..
..and no leg work..
