Onions with a pinch of salt!

Two persons Mr.A & Mr.B are talking to each other.

How many persons are there?

Well, as I just said, there are two of them!

Sorry, the psychologists don't agree.

According to them, there are 6 persons talking to each other!

How?

Let's see:-

First person : What Mr.A thinks he is

Second person : What Mr.B thinks Mr.A is

Third person : What Mr.A actually is

Fourth person : What Mr.B thinks he is

Fifth person : What Mr.A thinks Mr.B is

Sixth person : What Mr.B actually is

This is the fundamental reason behind the chaos of views and opinions all around!

-----------------------------------------

This is similar to what happens in stock market.

Many of us trade on the basis of opinions of others!

When we ask opinion from one person, we are actually asking from three!!!

And the beauty is, opinion of each one of those "three" persons is a mixture of

1) What he "thinks" the market is going to do

2) What he "wants" the market to do

3) What he "fears" the market might do

4) What the market is "actually" doing

and

5) the opinion of experts he has heard on the TV!

Pity, we believe opinions given with confidence!!!

And they often kill with confidence!

Opinions (of others) are like Onions. They make you cry and there is nothing inside them!

Learn a method. Be self dependent.

Then enjoy all onions with a pinch of salt!
