I can only imagine what the B-Team looks like. Goths? Tramp-pires? Voudoun priests? Trailer trash? Gay boys? Butch bikers? Rumpled grumpy old men (most likely)? But I'd be surprised if there was a punk kid among them. I myself am a squinty-eyed disagreeable looking old bastard that you wouldn't leave your children with.
Reparo, ergo sum!
Maybe Jack thinks he can simply "BE" a great trader to "HAVE" all the financial rewards he imagines?
THE BE-DO-HAVE PARADIGM
Most people believe if they "have" a thing (more time, money, love -- whatever), then they can finally "do" a thing (write a book, take up a hobby, go on vacation, buy a home, undertake a relationship), which will allow them to "be" a thing (happy, peaceful, content, or in love). In actuality, they are reversing the Be-Do-Have paradigm. In the universe as it really is (as opposed to how you think it is), "havingness" does not produce "beingness," but the other way around.

Although I criticized the BE-DO-HAVE thing in other posts and threads, I think there is some validity to the premise. However, I would think that it should be used for personal achievement rather than misrepresentation. My suspicion is that some people here may be abusing its premise to represent themselves in a manner that is not quite consistent with objective reality.
I agree that the HAVE-DO-BE sequence is a false one. But I also believe that BE-DO-HAVE is a bit out of sequence. I think that the correct "paradigm" (one of my least favorite $10 words) is DO-BE-HAVE. Here's why.
In his book, "The Feeling Good Handbook," Dr. David Burns, a prominent psychiatrist and a leading figure in the field of cognitive therapy, talks about motivation, among other things. He notes how some people wait to be motivated to do something before actually doing it, be it cleaning out their desk, losing weight or whatever. He suggests that this is the wrong sequence because it can sometimes be quite difficult to simply muster up the necessary motivation. Instead, the person should embark on the activity, in small steps if necessary. The action itself, along with the first signs of improvement, will create the motivation and thus begins the virtuous circle.
Yes and no. It's hard to "BE" or even pretend to "BE" without action. That's just revving in Neutral. You said "act" in your post. But I don't think that means acting for, or in front of, others. Rather, it means acting towards the achievement of your goals. As soon as you are taking action, you shift into Drive and the "BE" begins to fall into place.

I watched SpyderTrader live while on the phone trade Forex....with FTT's...one late evening....He banked a lot of PIPS...can't remember the details of how much...only that I could not do it...and it required some screen time that I do not have...
Now look I am not in hopes of fueling any fires or suppporting anything...I am neutral...and thought that I would post my experience with SpyderTrader and his methods. He is real. As far as Mr. Hershey, I do not know him and never spoke to him on the phone, only that I should respect my elders and treat him as a senior trader...I fail sometimes, as I am human and struggle to understand him...but he is rather clear when he wants/needs to be.
Thats all...behave yourselves...fella's.
