Hey guys,

 

This thread slipped my mind for a few days… then … then some ‘new’ projects/commitments took precedence… and today I don't have ready english for what I need to say … :)

 

ie I will address those posts (from weeks ago now) as soon as I can...meanwhile...

 

(trick) question:

if you think of this thread and Csikszentmihalyi at the same time, what comes up for you?

 

Have a great weekend all,

if you think of this thread and Csikszentmihalyi at the same time, what comes up for you?

 

 

A: you tube videos as i had never heard of him.

 

problem is after watching a couple of videos......

 

"That’s the difference between me and the rest of the world! Happiness isn’t good enough for me! I demand euphoria!"

 

...............

Seriously though it reminded me a lot about the ideas of art and getting into the flow of the action - the doing of art.......

I have had similar examples while snow boarding or riding a motor bike - every turn is perfect, the feeling is fantastic, you are at one with the board or bike etc......everyone has had similar feeling at some stage.

 

I dont however think this has a lot to do with a lot of trading. One involves doing, while the other often involves often doing nothing (maybe this is part of the flow?). (maybe it is not so applicable to some strategies?? Maybe its more applicable to the testing, and the trade off between boredom and anxiety....do you reduce the challenge? (smaller expectations, smaller trade sizes)

 

The only thing i can relate it to trading is to do with those times whereby with enough experience you can look at a chart and just know whats happening, what will happen next etc.. problem is this is fleeting and will in fact lull you into a false sense of ability.

 

How does the idea of flow, happiness etc and developing a traders mind relate if its a matter of being totally absorbed in the doing of something? So the mind is focused, not wandering and enjoying itself?

 

or is this just one of those completely broad subjects it can be applied in many different ways and interpreted in multiple manners?

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
