Persistence in doing something without stopping the efforts despite the problems or delay in achieving success. How many of us try to become a better trader inspite of the difficulties? Learning about trading, finding the trading set up and training our mind to trade better need perseverance. Determination can move the mountains. I remember a story about the king Robert Bruce.
Once there lived a king Robert Bruce who ruled Scotland. During a fight with England he was defeated. The king and his soldiers hid among the mountains. He made many attempts to defeat England but failed. He decided to stop his attempts. One day he saw a spider trying to build a web in the cave. It fell down so many times but it didnt quit. The spider did not stop its efforts till it build the web completely. This incident made king Robert to have new hope. Once again he gathered his soldiers, fight with his enemies and won.
One of the important thing a trader should have is determination. The journey of trading is tough. Only determination will make us to travel till we reach the destination. We have to try till we succeed as we only create our own destiny.
