Today, I rid myself of false teaching that money is evil and that a rich person will never get into heaven.  This teaching was giving to me and others to scare us into giving all our money and wealth to the church, and nothing more.  Yes, there is truth in the fact that if one pursues money all your life, you may miss out on the real lesson life has to teach.  There is truth in the fact that money is is not the key to happiness.  However that's like anything else in life.  Therefore today, I will rid myself of the false teaching that money is evil.

Sunk Cost Experiment.

Having bought a $10 ticket and then losing ticket.  88% will not, repurchase ticket again.

Or Not having bought ticket yet, but losing $10.  46% will not purchase ticket.

Get rid of addiction to Sunk Cost.....it is devastating to success in trading

I see it more as a matter of choosing between what is in accord with your nature of changing your nature to accord with your dreams.  Most people don't recognize this as a choice point.  They get praised into a career.  You're good with people, you should be a sales person or you're good in math, you should be a computer programmer.  Few realize that it is possible to hold their dreams constant and vary their behavior until they are good at what they need to be good at.  And usually, there is a bit of both.   - Trend Following

If you're going to chase success, the basic principles, the basic psychological requirements are the same, no matter what you do in life.  You still have to wake up every day with a deep desire to be successful.  Then you have to make it happen.  You have to be consistently focused every day.  You can't just wake up and say, hey, I'm going give a little bit of effort today and see what happens.  If it doesn't work out for me, I can say I tried and complain to my wife or girlfriend. You can't just jump around because the newspaper or some TB analyst says, here's some get rich quick scheme or holy grail.  You must know what you're going to do, be keenly aware of the role human behavior plays, and go make it happen.
