Jesse Livermore

“Keep stress at bay—act in all ways to keep the mind clear and your judgment correct: Going to bed early, eating and drinking lightly, taking exercise, standing upright at the stock ticker, standing while on the telephone, and demanding silence in the office. I spoke to no one on my way to work and kept silent about my stock market actions.”

By listening to our minds, we can come up with innovative, authentic ideas and judgements that combine the outer world with our inner world.

Just two hours alone in a week with our pen and notebook, and our thoughts flowing will have a substantial impact.
