The sensible thing to do would be to reduce your trading size and then stop and review your system."

"This is what I find most magnetic about successful givers: they get to the top without cutting others down, finding ways of expanding the pie that benefit themselves and the people around them.

Some people make that decision at 15 and some people make it at 50, and most people never make it at all."
