“What I listen for is someone who really wanted something that could be obtained only through taking the risk, whether that risk was big or small.
It's not even important that she managed the risk skillfully; it's only important that she knew it was there, respected it, but took it anyway.
Most people wander through life, carelessly taking whatever risk crosses their path without compensation, but never consciously accepting extra risk to pick up the money and other good things lying all around them.
Other people reflexively avoid every risk or grab every loose dollar without caution.
I don't mean to belittle these strategies; I'm sure they make sense to the people who pursue them. I just don't understand them myself.
I do know that none of these people will be successful traders.”
