Ancient Wisdom for Traders

  • First Post: Dec 7, 2013 4:45am Dec 7, 2013 4:45am
Hi

The purpose of this thread is to discover the ancient wisdom and "to learn what the Past has to teach us".

In my humble opinion, whether it’s personal or professional we are always looking at improving in some area of our life. We all need some inspiration from time to time to keep the morality of trading.

To start with I will be posting verses from Thirukkural written by Thiruvalluvar , a Poet-saint (flourished 1st century BC), to overcome common difficulties like, self-awareness, patience, discipline, decision making, etc.

I also invite others to participate in line with the above.

Thanks
usasa.

Found this in the eurusd thread, it talks about health and maintaining mental health, community, stress and to balance your life which is related to a traders health.

Energy Fields can effect the way you trade, and to control stress. I believe if there is too much stress in your life (trading and other things in your life ) can affect your long term health.

USA, good post, amazing I'd never come across it before. There's a decent PDF translation here for anyone wanting a read. It doesn't rhyme but probably closer to the original meaning: http://www.ticonline.org/docs/kural.pdf

As for ancient wisdom: thomas 70, nag hammadi scriptures:
"If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you"

I guess the above are not spiritual and may not be taken from ancient writings or they might but they are inspirational. If it's off topic I apologize.
