the ripened mango

one of my dear friends asked me yesterday why I was not/had not switched over to full time trading and quit my job. 

besides the minor reason that I'm a purely positional trader in index which requires just 3 to 4 times one eyed cursory glance at the charts and parameters per day, the major answer (as it came out from somewhere inside me ) is that you never leave the job and become full time trader....it just happens. 

it can't and shouldn't be done. it has to happen. like the dropping of a ripened mango. no effort required. no anxiety. not much thought. 

like the leaving behind of a baggage which is no longer required. 

never leave anything. what deserves to be left, gets left one night without goodbye. 

in fact, leaving is more of an analogue process than digital. 

things are being left behind gradually and incrementally every day, every moment. 

humans are used to events, life is a process.

money in, health out!

recently i was sitting with two of my trader buddies
whom i had met after a long time.
--
one of them
who had not been trading for some time now
said
"sitting in front of the terminal
for 6 hours a day
days after days
months after months
took a big toll on my health.
i have realised
that we can make money here but are losing our health!"
-
the third musketeer
who was listening all this quitely
quickly added
"but where is the money?
we are not getting that too!!!"

break free!

(pardon me for the language below.
i carry so strong emtions about the topic
that this was the only way i could communicate)
====
have you ever taken your pant off in front of anyone?
obviously not!
then why do you allow someone else to bring down yours
in front of everyone
everyday
with your permission?!!!
i am talking about those
who are employed
with a lean mean heartless and bully employer!
country got free decades ago
but the feudalistic mindset of
some old age masters
hasn't changed a bit.
this was one of the reasons
that pushed me into stock trading seriously
three years ago.
this was one of the reasons
why i started sharing everything i explored and experienced
assuming there must be hundreds and thousands and lacs
like me
who somehow are stuck into jobs
they face embarrasing moments everyday!
i considered this the best business in the world
and thus got the name of my blog.
i ventured in this inviting but ruthless market
with a dream
of one day becoming financially free.
i wanted
and want to see every tortured soul
financially and mentally and physically and spiritually free.
i was forced to write all this
when today i saw the owner of a book store
treat his intelligent and sincere employee
like a dog.

as robert kiosaki said in his legendary classic
"rich dad, poor dad" and its priceless sequels,
if you are employed
see if you can be self-employed.
and once that happens
see if you can employ others
and graduate to a businessman.
and once that is done
try becoming an investor into businesses.
what a good luck we people have
having landed in stock business
with an opportunity to become a businessman trader
as well as investor
straight-away!
if you are employed with an enterpreneur who treats you with honour and fairly
and if you have golden future there
stay put.
otherwise, wake the hell up
and do something
for
your freedom!
one more thing.
once you acquire your freedom
don't trample on that of others.
