tomorrow never comes

a labourer won

"creator of the year" award

by the stock traders' society

for building

a 100-storey sky scraper!

--

during the award ceremony

a journalist asked

"how did u make such a huge sky scraper?"

he looked around

and replied

"brick by brick!"

--

the entire auditorium

erupted with a big round of thunderous applause!

--

before the applause died

a business tv reporter asked"

is this sky scraper

an outcome of investing

or positional trading

or swing trading?"

--

the labourer

again thought for a few seconds

and honestly replied

"day trading!

i don't know any other form of trading.

my grandfather had told me that none other exists!

he told me that everything else is a multiple of day trading

and an excuse to take a holiday

or to justify bearing loss!!

the builders never give me more than one day at a time

to build a building.

i have just one day at my disposal.

they don't even give me a tomorrow or even day-after-tomorrow!

if things go wrong

i safegaurd and repair it same day

irrespective of how long

the building is going to take

or how long i intend to be in the trade!

if things are going ok

they still not allow me to work more than a day at a time!

day is all i have got

and day is all i take care of and worry about!

the week

and thereafter

the month

and the year

take care of themselves!"
