人们总是愿意花更多的时间去计划旅行而不是规划投资。
我们的生活总是日复一日，月复一月，如此循环往复，我们难免分心，从而影响到我们的投资决策。
然而，想要改变方向，就要先了解我们当前的位置，比如，我们在哪，我们要去哪，我们以后要往哪里走。
你做一件事的态度就是你对待所有事物的态度。- Whitney Cumming
沉思、写日记、自我反省以及独处是任何学科、任何领域杰出人物的日常生活。如果我们每天只是昏昏度日，或是到处寻找投资机会，那可能会错过很多身边的寻常事。
我自己有件很有趣的事，就是我最好的交易思路都是在我潜水、沉思或是完全没有思考交易的时候迸发出来的，实际上都是在我远离电脑屏幕和交易平台的时候。
关于交易或是投资，你需要思考以下三件事：
1. 思考你的投资方式或是操作策略
2. 思考你如何影响你的策略或投资，并思考这些会对你的投资结果产生怎样的影响。
3. 思考你在投资或交易时如何看待你自己。
总的来说，以上三点会对你的交易表现产生深远的影响，也会极大地增加你的投资收益。
以下三点你需要重点了解：
1. 为你的成功做计划：确保交易策略的正确性是非常重要的，作为一个交易员，你要依据自身条件来控制风险，交易的结果一定是计划好的、恒定的。
2. 我的钱为我做了什么？要知道，拥有一个好的交易策略，你就可以用同样的钱获得更高的收益，这比传统投资强很多，比如银行产品和债券。然而在某些情况下，你能赚到10万美元的收益，你的邻居却能赚到60万美元，投资风险还比你小。
3. 如果你花些时间去思考和改进你的策略，就可以让你的钱为你工作，而不是你为钱而工作。
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.
