Personality test - Taken after reading Xia's blog
Independent Thinkers are analytical and witty persons. They are normally self-confident and do not let themselves get worked up by conflicts and criticism. They are very much aware of their own strengths and have no doubts about their abilities. People of this personality type are often very successful in their career as they have both competence and purposefulness. Independent Thinkers are excellent strategists; logic, systematics and theoretical considerations are their world. They are eager for knowledge and always endeavour to expand and perfect their knowledge in any area which is interesting for them. Abstract thinking comes naturally to them; scientists and computer specialists are often of this type.Independent Thinkers are specialists in their area. The development of their ideas and visions is important to them; they love being as flexible as possible and, ideally, of being able to work alone because they often find it a strain having to make their complex trains of thought understandable to other people. Independent Thinkers cannot stand routine. Once they consider an idea to be good it is difficult to make them give it up; they pursue the implementation of that idea obstinately and persistently, also in the face of external opposition.
Independent Thinkers are not the type who easily comes out of his shell. Speaking about their emotional life is also not one of their strong points. Anyway, social relationships are not particularly important to them; they are happy with just a few, close friends who find it easy to share their intellectual world. They find it difficult to establish new ties. In love, they need a lot of space and independence but this does not mean that their partner is not important to them. Independent Thinkers often make a cool and reserved impression on others; but this impression is deceptive: they can hardly bear it if people close to them should reject them. They prefer a harmonious, balanced relationship with a partner who shares their interests and with whom they can realise their visions.
As an Independent Thinker, you are one of the introverted personality types. That is one of the reasons you prefer to work alone. This does not mean that you cannot be successful in a team, as well. For you, the task is most important and people who are involved come second. The contact with others, the necessity to adjust yourself to their daily changing sensitivities - all of it is just more gratuitous emotion that keep you from totally devoting yourself to those things that truly interest you: analyzing systems and policies, researching potentials for change, developing new ideas and implementing them in reality.Here you differ from the second introverted Thinker type, the Analytical Thinker: You truly enjoy implementing your concepts and you enjoy the results. Therefore you should look for a work environment where you can accompany and expedite your ideas through to their conclusion. You consider difficult situations as challenges that really try your creativity and you frequently surprise people around you with genuinely incredibly bright ideas, rendering others speechless with their excellence. Your world consists of statistics, legitimacy, and systematics. Considering all of this, your Thinker type is very praxis-oriented, and by no means lives on an intellectual ivory tower. You are not interested in theories not related to reality. As in chess, you are excellent at predicting the consequences of your methods in advance, and then choosing the appropriate alternative. Once you have made your decision on how to deal with a situation, you are totally willing to use your elbows and you don’t necessarily show any consideration for others. With that, you occasionally encounter resistance from other, less task-oriented colleagues that you quickly brush aside.You resent routine jobs or monotonic order of events. You believe that they smother your creativity. If necessary, your determination and unusual ambition will convince you to acquiesce to the inevitable. Nevertheless, when choosing your profession, you should be mindful that your working environment is going to provide you with something new to learn and that your tasks are as varied as possible. Your strength lies in solving novel problems and not working on details. Nor should your curiosity ever be satisfied; just as fresh information is as important to you as the air you breathe, so is the feeling that you continuously expand and increase your competencies. An activity where you do the same thing in the same department with the same colleagues for 20 years is the worst fate that can possibly happen to a hungry mind.
For your partner, you are truly a hard nut to crack, and one has to give someone who goes through life as independent as you darn good reasons for a relationship before he/she deigns to at least consider it. You very slowly and judiciously develop trust and closeness to other people; whoever wants to win you needs a tremendous amount of patience and staying power.Even once you begin to warm up to someone, one does not sense that for the longest time as you are uncomfortable and reluctant to display your feelings because you are not used to it. The cool, distanced, and somewhat arrogant vibes of all Thinkers are a little more pronounced with you and already sufficiently discourage many potential partners as they get frustrated and give up during the advanced phases of flirting - a shame because inside, you are not as indifferent and emotionless as you some- times appear, and sometimes your reserve simply hides your disappointment at the blindness and superficiality of the people around you.Nevertheless, it is always a good idea for you to choose a partner very carefully and not blindly jump into an affair, because your demands are very high. You have a clear image of the “perfect relationship” and are not willing to deviate from that by even one millimeter to the right or the left. A sharp intellect that is equal to yours is the most important quality your partner must bring along. You need somebody in your life who inspires, stimulates, and always challenges you and with whom you can maintain an intensive intellectual companionship. Nothing will impress you more than competence, knowledge, and the willingness to learn because those are the traits that are truly important to you in your life. You are never really satisfied with your accomplishments, and always discover something about yourself that needs your improvement, where something new can be learned, and where you are not yet good enough.

Off my mind and out of the blue
Understanding a person's limit is essential.... this is so that we can be able to push the limit further and further away. . When we do not understand our own limit, we would never be able to do a very good judgment on ourselves and therefore make decisions that would not be effective and efficient in the long run.
I know my Liquor Limit. That is why I do not get drunk till the point i don't remember the day before. But of course. there are times where drinking more than i should is not under my control.
I Know my physical running limit, roughly quantifiable, but not a very accurate one yet. 2KM i start to perspire, 4km I start to feel the kick, 8 Km my body starts burning the stored energy, 10km my peak , 14km , starts to weaken , 16km body not enough energy to continue to run constantly, 18km gone case. have to walk. 21km stagger and limping. If i go slower, everything should be able to times 1.5 times the distance.
I know my financial limit. Know when to spend where and how to spend. That is why i don't overspend and keep myself within budget.
I know my anger limit. Its quite huge, people seldom see me angry.
But there are somethings that I can't seem to know, and anyway i don't think they are quantifiable. Things like... How much I am willing to love, my knowledge of things. Things that I would like to learn but not yet learn...
Things I don't know will never cease to come. But I would love to reduce them to as little as possible. I think too much, learn too much, store too much stuffs that my hair turns white.
Of another topic - I am a Libra, a very typical one in fact. Some facts that fellow Libra's might want to know to understand themselves better. We care a lot about how other people see us... and would actually do things sub-consciously to keep up to that image.
People always say that we are fickle minded, but would always make the choice that everyone would like. This is actually caused by our need for the best possible decisions that would make everyone see us in good light. That is why, never ask a Libra to make a choice between 2 friends, or even a decision that might cause another party to view us in bad light... we can never do it. We dread doing it.
Because of this need to let other people see us in good light, Libra's will always be helpful, image conscious , confident, bright, attention grabbing, well-groom , neat and all the good stuffs add together. Seldom you will see a flaw in them... People will describe a Libra's flaw as "人太好了，会被人欺负。" If not it would be the indecisiveness on stuffs on dates/ projects/ meetings/ group outing/ place to go. Its because we know whats in our mind will not cater to whats in the other party's idea, but we do not want to impair the image that we etch in their mind. Ever wondered Why some of the most famous and well liked celebrities are libras?
In fact, we are not as good as we seem to be. When no one sees us, our true nature might come. Why did i say "might"? That is because if we live in our multi-persona for too long, we don't really know what represents our true self anymore.
Some people might disagree with what I say, saying that there are libras who do not fit into this profile. But of course. this is meant to be something that would apply to majority of us. Then let me ask the chicken and egg question... which came first? How we project our image to you, or we imagine how you imagine we would be. The latter wins.
A personal example. During lower secondary school, I had imagined that people from my class would view me as any boy would be, playful and with bad grades... thats what i gave them .
During Upper secondary, I changed class to a slower paced class... I was ammused about how my classmates see me as a clever boy who is hardworking in the first day of class. And thus, you guessed it... My grades soared.... I went from last 10-15 in school cohord to the top 15-25 . ( Intersting right ? think about it )
Ask any libra, I am sure they would understand what I am saying and might chucke and be astonished at how insanely close it is to them.
This is coming from me, a family made up of 3 libras + 1 cancer.

For those of you who might not know
Good evening people. For those of you who might not know... I am actually in the business of trading.
Realized that what is really needed in trading is just to keep in simple.. have an idea that is doable and trade it.
Over the past year, I've learnt alot from my losses, inprove my systems and still incur losses.. then it finally came to the point where i start getting some profit no doubt not decent amount yet... Lucky I didn't get my whole forest burnt in the first few big forest fire of my capital.
At least for now , I know one thing is for sure. As long as we treat trading like a business itself, we would think differently from if we trade as a normal trader/investor.
3 Points that are more important in the life of a trading business..
Money management, Mind management, and Method Management
This 3 points are interlink and will not be able to work well without either one.
Money management meaning things like ...
the ability to portion out my money so that i am able to withstand alot alot of consequtive losses and still get me enough to earn when the market is in my favour. Its also the risk management sector of a trade.
Mind management
a human will seem small when compared to a mountain. But when compared to the ant, a human will be big. Just like how you are able to see money. If we compare a thousand to a cent, it would seems alot. but when compared to a billion dollars, its chicken feet. Mind management also entails the ability to stick to you system that you have .
Last would be a method management
Why would i say that its a management instead of just one method. This is because there are so many different methods in this world that can earn you money, But each have its risk and success. As long as the method entails and incorporates DEEP ( Direction , entry , exit and position sizing ) and it has a statistically stable and profitable percentage, Then stick to it.
This would be the thing that will be your bowl of rice. your gold is also dependent on this.
Even though 1 method is enough, I would suggest having 2 or more methods to play around.
but of course, the few method must have its value and different usage. and not be against each other all the time .
E.g ( 1 Long Term Trade system, 1 swing trade system, 1 intra-day trade system )
Assuming them to be swords, As long as we sharpen them and use them diligently with discipline, we would be on our way to wealth.
Wealth Creation must first start with bigger income and with more money, bigger income again.
Working as a trader is quite boring at times when all the systems are in place. But hey, what are we looking for? There is no complex system to wealth. Just a simple business where there is a systematically sound method of growing and protecting the capital gain.
Keeping it simple, thats the holy grail of everything.
