The only ambition you can have in trading is to make money, by the way. Wanting to buy a boat is not a trading ambition. It is an ambition to have a boat.
Very true that !
My ambition in trading ?
I have always wanted to make money, work for myself, be entirely responsible for my own success and the size of the outcome, and generally be self-determined, able to do
what I want to
when I want to, took me a long time to realize, but trading ticks all those boxes as perfectly as no other entrepreneurial option.
If you're going to be doing something you might as well do it properly and go all the way.
If you go into politics you'll want power and at least become a minister if not head of government, if you sing you'll want at least one number one hit, if you race cars in F1 you'll want to become world champion, if you strive for a career in academia you'll want to publish lot's of papers and be seen as an authority in your field, if you start a company you'll want to get rich.
That's the same in our occupation, for those of us who like me don't do anything else and hopefully will never have to again for as long as I still need to work to make money, we keep track by the amount of money we've made.
One has made a lot of money when you don't need to ask how much that boat costs if you want it.
Some boys just need a few toys, and that's quite OK as long as that's kept in perspective, as long as that isn't made bigger than it is, and as long as people don't make the mistake of believing that money can buy you happiness which very obviously it cannot.
Money lets one keep track of ones success, let's you enjoy some toys, and allows one to support causes one believes in, do some good, give something back.
OK, thinking over the money and happiness part, money can buy you Prozac, and Prozac can make you happy, so that point needs to be suitably amended in the interest of a fair and unbiased representation of relevant facts, haha:
