Notes of a Warrior – 1

A trader embarks on a battle everyday as the clock strikes 9am. It is the battle against the mental blocks, against time, against perceptions, against luck. So gradually, I have come to see a trader as a ‘warrior’.

There are many thoughts in my mind that present the picture of such a warrior. Let’s see how it goes.

Today, let’s talk about how a true warrior works on his abilities & perseverance.

A true warrior keeps asking himself, “How far have I developed my abilities?”

He knows that he has learnt something with every battle he has fought, but many of those lessons have caused him unnecessary suffering. He knows that Victors never make the same mistake twice. That is why a true warrior only risks his heart for something worthwhile.

He respects the main teaching of the I Ching: ‘To persevere is favorable’. He perseveres in his desire to win every battle, but knows he must wait for the best moment to attack.
