We can say whatever we want, but The Real Test will be our initial reaction on discovering:<br /><br />a) Like the Korean family, I am the sole survivor of a horrific road accident that wiped out my entire family.<br /><br />b) I've 12 more months to live.<br /><br />Similarly, I roll-eyes on "devout" Buddhists who care a lot on the location and where their tablet is facing after they are gone. It makes me wonder their understanding on "letting go"?<br /><br />If only spirituality is as easy as wearing a badge of membership on our bosom.<br /><br />I run for the exit if I hear anyone and everyone can pass through the eye of the needle.

Can we draw parallels between those who ...Hi SMOL,<br /><br />Can we draw parallels between those who embrace religion and those who engage in trading/investment? Here's my cheeky take:<br /><br />1. Those who believe in a religion to get peace and comfort (having some divine powers protecting us from harm or practicing spirituality to attain the state of calmness) - are like those who believe that the market will provide them with passive income if they do their due diligence like praying twice a day. :P<br /><br />2. Those who see religion as philosophy (I'm one of them), to understand themselves and the world better - like people who trade to see themselves and understand the market better (just like me as well) :D<br /><br />3. Those who want divine intervention to bring miracles to them just because they are believers - like those who treat the market like a casino, wanting to strike it rich without much effort and not wanting to take personal responsibility.<br /><br />4. Those who leverage on religion to achieve personal goals - like those who exploit other fellow traders/investors by selling them expensive courses in the name that they 'know' the market.<br /><br />Ok, the list is not exhaustive but not continuing cos I'm exhausted! LOL! Don't mind me, pls. Just my end of the day ramblings to wind down. Don't take it too seriously also. No intention to draw any flaks from anyone ok?
