Circumstance does not make the man; it reveals him to himself.
By James Allen
Sometimes you come across a line consists of few words, but it says everything intensely. James Allen is one of those guys who have very little to say but a lot to think about, at least for me. Whenever I read him, it makes me think and think for hours to precisely understand what he said.
Now, this jewel of words applies to every aspect of our life; however, as a trader, I can relate it to the times when my circumstances around my trades exactly reveal me to myself—knowing one’s true self makes all the difference. You can only fix something once you are aware of it.
If you are a trader, I highly suggest you observe yourself during your trades, especially when they are not going in your favor. I am sure you will pick up a thing or two that may surprise you. Once you know yourself, the way you will respond to the situation will define you as the man.
