Those who can realize the truth in trading are those "abnormal" people
The words of the predecessors are now deeply rooted in my heart: "It is difficult for normal people to do a good job in trading." More than difficult? Behind that is the torment that ordinary people can hardly imagine. The surface may be calm, but the heart has been pierced by thousands of arrows.
Loss, despair, helplessness, failure... these are the norm. Success? It's just a glimmer that flashes occasionally in the long night, which is fleeting. And those who can catch this glimmer and walk out often become "aliens" in the eyes of others.
They have a strange sense of contradiction: both enthusiastic and cold. They have no nostalgia for ineffective social interaction and disdain ordinary circles. They don't need external recognition, let alone eyes and evaluations. They are easy-going on the surface, but their hearts are tempered with maturity and firmness far beyond ordinary people.
If you ask what makes them?
The answer is hidden in the loneliness and solitude that ordinary people can't bear. This loneliness is the narrow door that must be passed to "enlightenment". It is in this absolute silence that they are forced to talk to themselves, and in countless late night inner struggles, they have honed their extreme calmness and iron-like self-discipline.
This "calmness" that seems almost cold to outsiders is not innate. It is the struggle on the edge of collapse countless times, the understanding after the account is repeatedly reset to zero, and the wisdom that grows in the deepest lonely night. This is a kind of practice that transcends human weaknesses.
This road is destined to be lonely. But this loneliness is the fire that tempers the real gold
