I personally think there are two types of people who are likely to succeed in trading: the first type is those who are left with no alternatives, and the second type is those who are extremely pure. Only when one is left with no alternatives can they find a path through despair, and only those who are extremely pure can follow the way when desire is extinguished.

When there seems to be no way out, one can instead let go of all distractions and find hope in despair.

Extreme purity, with a focused mind, concentrates solely on trading itself, discarding all greed and distractions.
