Show me a profession where the majority of participants truly excel.
We've all heard wonderful stories about car mechanics, car salesmen, politicians, contractors etc...
I happen to be in the building profession, I am on a job right now that has had more mistakes than I thought possible, lack of focus, dropped details, engineers with no field experience, the list goes on and on.
It has taken me years to get to the point where I am now. There are a bunch of skills needed along the way to competence and once you have the skills then the real work begins, learning how "you" are going to integrate those skills into mastery.
The major hurdle trading has is the day to day in your face reality of how much you won or lost.
People underestimate their emotional connection with money, if I go and install a entry door and charge $500.00 and it took longer than I thought or the door jambs weren't plumb and after expenses it actually cost me money to do the job, its easy to look at it like well at least I am able to deposit $500.00 into my bank account and kind of ignore the expenses that ate up all of the $500.00 and view it as a learning experience.
From the beginning of our lives money has been viewed as a necessity, for obvious reasons, you start to take away something that we view as a necessity, we start to do some very irrational behavior.
