Carl Jung quotes and trading parallels
After reading "The Wisdom of Carl Jung" I was impressed by many quotes to say the least. A few had a subtle and fantastic parallel to trading.
"It's enough to drive one despair that in practical psychology there are no universally valid recipes and rules. There are only individual cases with the most heterogeneous needs and demands-so heterogeneous that we can virtually never know in advance what course a given case will take, for which reason it is better for he doctor to abandon all preconceived opinions.
This does not mean that he should throw them overboard, but in any given case he should use them merely as hypotheses for a possible explanation"
"The greatest mistake an analyst can make is to assume the patient has a psychology similar to his own"
"Unfortunately far too many of us talk about a man only as it would be desirable for him to be, never about the man he really is. But the doctor always has to deal with the real man, who remains obstinately himself until all sides of his reality are recognized. True education can only start from naked reality, not from a delusive ideal"
