I am always looking for things to improve. The market actually teaches you a lot of life lessons. The companies that succeed are the ones that change with the times. Traders that succeed are the ones who are willing to be flexible on the path they follow to their goals. People who are happy are the ones who don’t fight inevitable change — instead, they embrace and adapt to it
