bite the bullet!

in ancient times

during wars

when there were no anesthesia,

and a surgery was to be performed

on the wounded soldier

the doctor

would ask the patient

to clench a bullet

between his teeth

to be able to bear the pain!

the wounded soldier

had no option

if he wanted to recover his life!

--

this lead to the phrase

"bite the bullet"

--

in stock trading

a lot of soldiers

get wounded everyday!

despite the availability

of highly advanced anesthesea

in the medical world of today

there is none

for the wounded trader!

he still has to bite the bullet

and keep moving

if

he wants

to survive

and succeed!
