Diamond Dave,

I have been lurking here for a while and I don't know how I missed this thread. What a great opening post! I think this spirit is one of the things that has fascinated me about this place (in addition to all the information). Here's my 2-cents worth.

Babe Ruth.

He hit 714 home runs in his career but he struck out 1,330 times.

Every time he swung his bat, he swung it like there was no tomorrow. You need three swings to strike out. To hit a homer, you only need one. This guy missed many more balls than he ever hit in life.

But when he hit...

Thanks. Very inspirational. I'll add these to my favorite Yoda advice... "Do, or do not. There is no try".
 
Edison was a great man, thanks for bring the topic up. We would all be reading by candle light if it weren't for him!

Another great qoute is

"what you think and concieve your mind can achieve"

Actually dave its,

"All man can concieve in his mind, he can achieve."
-Think and grow rich by napolean hill
:p

Is it bad I knew that from memory? hahaha
 
Years ago I was lucky enough to read books that showed me the principles contained in those 8 guidelines. To be honest it took me a while to get the hang of them and it was because of something else I found once that I stuck up all over the place so I couldn't help but read it.

I am your constant companion,
I am your greatest helper or your heaviest burden.
I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.
I am at your command.

Half of the tasks that you do you might just as well
Turn over to me and I will do them quickly and correctly.

I am easily managed; you must merely be firm with me.
Show me exactly how you want something done.
After a few lessons, I will do it automatically.

I am the servant of all great people
And the regret of all failures as well.
Those who are great, I have made great.
Those who are failures, I have made failures.

I am not a machine but I will work with all its precision
Plus the intelligence of a person.

Now you may run me for profit or you may run me for ruin.
It makes no difference to me.

Take me, train me, be firm with me and
I will lay the world at your feet.
Be easy with me and I will destroy you.

I am called Habit!
 
Never underestimate your enemies, never overestimate your friends.

Friends can fail you, so be there for yourself tambien.
 
I remember an interview with Edison on his many failures before finally inventing the light bulb. He was asked, "How do you feel about the 99 attempts that failed before finally making a working light bulb?" or something to that effect. He answered, " I never failed, it's just that making the light bulb was a 99-step process."

I failed a lot of times but I don't consider myself a failure, I just look at them as part of my learning process.

Thanks.

:D

Although This quote may be different from each source, it still serves the same purpose.

Thomas Edison

"I have not failed 10,000 times. I have successfully discovered 10,000 ways that do not work."
 
Foundation of success in anything:

1.Step out of comfort zone
2.Speed of implementation of information
3.Strategic and educated decisions
4.Fail fast
5.Do not give up(think positive)
6.Have no fear(Do not let fear hold you back!!)

good luck
 
Its easier said then done. Inless you apply the knowlege you gain its worthless. Thats why knowlege isn't power. It must be knowlege plus action and most people fail at the action part.

Take action and turn failure into enthusiasm and you'll eventually succeed. Just don't give up.
 
nice thread, the right mindset is a must and always remember guys:

if you always do what you've always done,
you'll always only get what you've always got!

bets to you all!
 
GREAT READ!

I'm so sick of certain presidential candidates telling people how much they are going to give their constituants, instead of motivating, and providing the freedom for people to make their OWN way, which is uh, what our country, (US) is based on. CAPITALISM!

If you want it, GO GET IT!
 
Nice advice.

I just want to add that it's never good to listen to anyone who tells you that a market is saturated. It's all about what angle you attack the market with. And it's all about content, style and presentation and lots of effort. There's always a better solution or better way to do something.

You're trying to hit the ball out of the stratosphere, not just out of the ballpark :)
 
one thing bh shows you is how all the man made algos etc are so far from perfect and there is always a way to get into it. not that I'm any good at blackhat, but I have seen what I have seen.

So getting too impressed with anyone or anything is stupid. You have to find your own way and do what you're good at and stand behind that.
 
I had a friend who used to say, ?Today is a check ? cash it! Yesterday is an I.O.U. ? forget it! Tomorrow is a promissory note, don?t bank on it!? I think that?s a pretty good summation of life, so go out there and cash in on that ?today? check.

Awesome quote, man! Thumbs!
