“I spend my day trying to make myself as happy and relaxed as I can be. If I have positions going against me, I get right out; if they are going for me, I keep them.”
Paul Tudor Jones
A loss never bothers me after I take it. I forget it overnight. But being wrong – not taking the loss – that is what does damage to the pocketbook and to the soul.”
Jesse Livermore
Do or die: “Drawing is not a dirty word and neither is defeat. Play to win, but take a draw, or even a defeat, and wait for another day. That’s the name of the game.”
A Doubting Thomas: “If you want to be certain of your position, you must begin by doubting it.”
Confidence Game: “in order to win, you must have plenty of confidence, and that’s fine unless it becomes conceit.”
Your Manuscript: “You will need a blank book: plus a pen or pencil. And something just as important: an eraser.”
Defeat: “In many losses, especially among masters, it is the one fatal move that breaks the camel’s back.”
Stroke of Luck: “With luck, students may win a game or two. But with knowledge and work, they may win many games, and even become masters. Stick to your last.”
Ambition: “You have to burn the midnight oil if you want to set the world on fire.”
