Three years ago, in the month of October, Steve Jobs lost
his battle with pancreatic cancer at the age of 56.May his soul rest in peace.
This man was brilliant and inspiring. His commencement speech to the graduates
of Stanford University in 2005 was considered as one
of the best (

He always spoke about connecting dots. Till recently I could
not get what it is all about.Here is a famous quote from Steve
“Creativity is just
connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they
feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something.
It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to
connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things. And the reason they
were able to do that was that they’ve had more experiences or they have thought
more about their experiences than other people.”
Now I can relate this to my trading journey. I had spent
thousands of hours searching the internet and hanging around in trading forums
for a clue. This gave me a lot of ideas most of which were garbage. Finally I
was able to eliminate a lot and retain a few which were useful.
Connecting all these things together and making an “Actionable”
method took much more time. To be frank, I do not know when it happened. All I
can say is one fine morning everything fell into place magically and price
moves started making sense. Human brain is capable of doing it. Just give it
sufficient time and adequate exposure. We can’t force it.
Hang on ensuring the survival. Focus on “
Actionable” concepts
and get a lot of exposure.
Growth is always happening underneath. Success is always a
Chinese Bamboo.
