Quotes About Patterns

~ Aldous Huxley
The mental baggage from childhood can prevent you from succeeding in the markets. You have to identify your weaknesses and work to change. Keep a trading diary—write down your reasons for entering and exiting every trade. Look for repetitive patterns of success and failure.
~ Alexander Elder
Comience a llevar un diario: un registro de todas sus operaciones, con las razones para entrar y salir de éstas. Busque patrones repetitivos de éxito y de fracaso. Aquellos que no pueden recordar el pasado están condenados a repetirlo. El
~ Alexander Elder
The manacles we forge for ourselves might be comfortable ones, may not chafe too much, and yet they are manacles nonetheless – bonds of family, of profession, of debt, of personal obligation.

If a factory is torn down but the rationality which produced it is left standing, then that rationality will simply produce another factory.

The answer clearly lies within the Slinky itself. The hands that manipulate it suppress or release some behavior that is latent within the structure of the spring. That is a central insight of systems theory. Once we see the relationship between structure and behavior, we can begin to understand how systems work, what makes them produce poor results, and how to shift them into better behavior patterns.
~ Donella H. Meadows
When we contain rather than constantly discharge our feeling state, we allow ourselves to feel completely. In feeling completely, we reexperience our aliveness and the source of that aliveness. When we cultivate the discipline to pause, it becomes possible for us to make a choice that is outside our normal habit pattern. And it is in breaking through these entrained patterns that we can begin to experience a more liberated state of being.

~ Dr. Jacobo Grinberg Zylberbaum
