Self conception – what makes one tick? There are no lack of books, courses ,tapes that get excited participants to spend thousands of dollars to “fortell” one’s future , potential , etc and only a handful of people are clear what they want in life.<br /><br />Many of us are like sheeps being led by the shepherd – social media, press, TV, peers influence, etc. Skills like self- reliance (a great book by Ralph Waldo Emerson) talks about the ability to stand on your own views, being objective in assessing your circumstance and not allowing waves of influence surrounding to sway you is an important but often neglected skills.<br /><br />Change your thinking, you change your facts of life.<br /><br />Nice article !<br /><br /><br />thefinance.sg/2014/11/06/can-financial-literacy-be-taught-yes-and-no/#commentsSingapore Man of Leisurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774067113884418001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-25569322151309932382014-11-06T22:33:04.147+08:002014-11-06T22:33:04.147+08:00Hahaha.

(Older readers in the corporate world would have known by my frequent use of "sharpening my saw" quotes.)<br /><br />I heard it's been updated to 8 habits but who is counting? LOL!<br /><br /><br />Younger readers who have yet to read this classic I recommend you to take a look at Jes' blog post. And if you like it, read the book ;)<br /><br />And yes, it's the damn book that made it fashionable for everyone adding the "proactive" word for everything - without true understanding of its meaning. <br /><br />It's as hackneyed as the "if you fail to plan; you plan to fail" phrase. Many parrot it; most still as clueless.<br /><br /><br />Singapore Man of Leisurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774067113884418001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-59953196086574120552014-11-06T14:15:34.894+08:002014-11-06T14:15:34.894+08:00Hi SMOL,

Was scratching my head on the lack of reaction last night in the Simsci... I suspect some traders were thrown off by the SGX halt.... <br /><br />This morning sold at 371.5 at 9:10 am. Tiny 2 point kopi money ;)<br /><br />Guess what? Simsci now at 372.3... Oh well...<br /><br />I am happy. Took advantaged of the small window of miss-pricing.<br /><br />I am more of a Trend Follower; but no harm in increasing my flexibility as a trader by incorporating different plays into my playbook :)Singapore Man of Leisurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774067113884418001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-28782394464197509302014-11-06T10:33:00.873+08:002014-11-06T10:33:00.873+08:00not so fast!
