Over the years in this trading business, I've come to feel more and more that those who can truly go the distance all carry a steady, unflappable quality.



It's not innate. It's slowly cultivated, day after day, facing those up-and-down numbers, after being repeatedly tormented. Most of them don't like to join the crowd; they prefer to be alone. No matter how outsiders praise or criticize, it seems to have nothing to do with them. They have their own scale in their hearts, and the aim has long been calibrated.

They never mistake temporary luck for skill. What keeps them going is two things: self-discipline and patience.

They never try to guess what tomorrow will bring—guessing is useless. As for the path ahead, they just walk the road beneath their feet and adjust their steps along its direction. What to do and what not to do each day is decided the night before; the next day they simply follow through. So no matter what happens, they don't panic—this composure is earned through countless small stumbles and major lessons, and it's deeply solid.

In the end, the hardest hurdle in a person's life is not the external storms, but one's own mind. A little greed, a little fear, and it's easy to lose your footing. Once you lose it, everything goes haywire. But if you can steady your heart and not be led by the nose by the momentary reds and greens, then the rhythm is in your own hands.

Take each gain and loss lightly. Life is long; this one hand is not everything.

Having been in this business for a long time, I actually feel it's more like a form of cultivation. What you cultivate is not how to beat the market, but how to peacefully coexist with your own greed, fear, and anxiety. Slowly, you'll discover that getting along with the market is actually getting along with yourself.

Calm your mind, and the path will naturally become smooth.
