Hi, Fam š
I just received this in my inbox, enjoy!
One of the first stories my parents told me was the one of the Tortoise and the Hare by Aesop.
Have you ever heard of this story?
To those who donāt know or remember, in short, this is basically a story where a speedy but overconfident rabbit challenges one of the slowest animals, the turtle, eager to prove his superiority.
Although he was aware of his slower pace, the tortoise accepted the challenge with a calm and determined demeanor.Ā
When the race started, as expected, the hare shot off like an arrow, leaving the tortoise far behind.
But due to his confidence, the hare decided to take a leisurely break, underestimating the tortoise's persistence.
So he laid down under a tree, thinking he had plenty of time to relax before crossing the finish line.
Meanwhile, the tortoise steadily plodded along, never changing his pace. He focused on the goal, reminding himself of the importance of consistency, and never gave up.
To the surprise of everyone, including the hare who was napping and to everyone hearing this story for the first timeā¦
The tortoise crossed the finish line first while the other animals cheered him, impressed by his unmatched determination.
Now you might be wondering: āWhy is this guy telling me this story?ā
Well, the hare, despite his incredible speed, failed to understand the value of consistencyā¦
While the tortoise proved that perseverance and a steady effort could lead to success.
So This story serves as a timeless reminder that success often comes to those who stay consistent in their efforts.
It encourages you to appreciate the journey, remain focused on your goals, and not be swayed by your overconfidence because the market doesnāt forgive mistakes.
This means that just like the tortoise beat the hare in his own game only by being consistent and persistent with his efforts without stopping fighting for what he wantedā¦
You - the trader - can beat the unpredictable and unfair market that has been giving you and hundreds of other traders the hardest possible timeā¦
By showing up every single day, trying to improve yourself, and never backing down no matter what.
Try this for 30 days and tell me your progress.
Best,
