Like.

I have completed 7 days detox program, will blog my experience later.

Sunday~~ Full Charge

Surprise, surprise and surprise!

Blogger has revamped new look, I saw the page load and statistics when I log in to the blogger main page, the page load is higher than what was printed on my blog, I guess that was due to my reset of my whole blog in July 2010 when I decides to start all over again and removed the past posts since 2007.

Then I go to the "load from" to take a look at the visitor map... and surprised to know that this forum http://chartistsunited.com/forum/index.php, printed my blog in their blog directories... I do not know who is the author or administrator of this forum and I continue to find out more statistics.

It seems that the blog is driving some visitor from US, Malaysia and Singapore which is quite surprise to me also.

Thanks to the reader and this is my trading journal and I hope in someway it is beneficial..

I have been busy the past weeks - new job scope, performance, dance classes, gathering, relationship concerns, holidays... and I would like to say things start to settle down and I have strike off many "To Do's" from my list.

Watched a movie this morning, and it is good.
"We bought a Zoo"

 Touching and nice...

20 seconds of courage... and Let's do it.  Why Not?
Life is an adventure.

Peaceful Warrior

I am having more training, practices, rehearsals for the Dance competition which in coming up in August... which is two months later.

There are more activities recently, I think it happens to many other industries as well.... Dancing - we have more seminars, workshops and competition. Because the 1st half of the year is for preparation and logistics arrangements...

Financial Market - we have more talks, more preview, more associates, more news that we are looking forward... may be they are not more, but there are simply more people ''getting involved''... QE2 coming to the end...

I have finished watching a great movie just now, it is a old show.. "Peaceful Warrior", it is a very meaningful, very good, deep and touching movie.

Control, fear, ego, choices, actions, realistic, choose our actions and accept the consequences, awareness, there's always something happening, and focus on the process... happiness, and "so what".. :)
Worth to watch at least twice!

The Book:

the Piano Forest

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=7466

森林里的钢琴 the Piano Forest

周末我看了这部动画。
很喜欢当中的内容，以及完美的音乐。
它激起了我弹钢琴的冲动哦！

整部剧里面，有一些让我觉得很有意思的内容：

• 当雨宫修平Amamiya要求老师当他的钢琴导师时，老师拒绝了。后来，老师竟然主动要教一之濑海Kai Ichinose。
  让我记起：
  “我们选择了钢琴事业，我们选择老师，可是老师没有选择我。”

更加想起师傅Sifu DAR说的：" to receive is blessing... "
I am so lucky to be hand-picked ^_^.  Thanks to Sifu DAR Wong, and thanks to Mentor JC.

• 当一之濑海Kai Ichinose认真练习的时候，他经历了最无聊的Scaling，手指的热身、重复动作。老师说：“It's the kind of piano playing you'll find most boring.” 简直可以说，令人发疯的、单调的练习。
  那时候，他发现，他最好的朋友雨宫修平Amamiya，为了要成为出色的钢琴家，必须经历这些无聊透顶的练习。“So this is what Amamiya has to go through.”

难道我们不是经过许多无聊透顶的练习、backtest、backtest、学习，错误，止损，才能提升自己的技能？

• 雨宫修平Amamiya从小以为自己的命运是成为钢琴家，从小以为钢琴是自己的敌人。“When I was little, the piano was my enemy.”
  相反的，一之濑海Kai Ichinose从小热爱钢琴，甚至觉得钢琴是自己生命的一部分，是独奏的乐器，不能够和别人分享的，森林里的钢琴属于他一个人。
  钢琴对他们的意义不同，所以表现出来的光·和热，就不一样。

• "Do you think I have the ability to move people like Kai can?  Can I learn to play like him?
  故事的最后老师对雨宫修平Amamiya说：“你弹得很好。”
  “你应该喜欢自己的弹法。”
  You played with a rare perfection.
  You should learn to love your own playing.  Then you'll see there's no need to compare yourself to anyone.  You can play beautifully.

You are not competing with Mozart, Chopin, Beethoven... or the champion during last Piano contest...

There's no need to compare yourself to anyone on earth.  Learn to love our own playing, own trading, there's no need to compare ourself to anyone.

Worry too Much

Got myself the 2 Disc Kung Fu Master Edition - Kung Fu Panda (DVD)

I know my niece like this animation a lot... I still remember the photo taken with her, sitting so focus watching the movie.  I remembered the part how Shifu teaches Panda on the hill, how he lure him with food...

There's a part where Panda meets master Wu Guai..

Panda: i probably sucked more today than anyone in the history of kung fu.. in the history of china, in the history of sucking...
How is Shifu gonna turn me into the Dragon Warrior?

I mean, I am not like the Five,
I have no claws, no wings, no venom... Even mantis has those.. thingy.
May be I should just quit and go back to making noodles.

Master Wu Guai:
Quit, don't quit,
Noodles, don't noodles,
you are too concerned with what was and what will be.
There's a saying:
Yesterday is history
tomorrow is mystery
but today is a gift, that's why its called the present.

What Master Wu Guai said in Cantonese:
走，不走，
煮面，不煮面，
你太担心以前怎样，又太担心以后会怎样。
这样是不得的，俗语有云：
“昨日，过左去，
听日，话知巨，
今朝有酒今朝醉，
咪到第时下低一具具。”

Think 'Both'

Acceptance and Rejection

I watched a movie this weekend on the AXN Asia Channel.
Spider-man 2.

May be I chose to read what I want, to the advantage of myself... ^_^

Brief Intro on the movie:

It's been two years since Peter Parker transformed into Spider-Man, and he is still trying to balance life perfectly. His love for Mary Jane is becoming much stronger, as he finds it hard to not let her down, his life has begun to fall apart. The girl he loves is engaged to someone else, his grades are slipping, he cannot keep any of his jobs... Peter, at times noticing he's losing some of his powers, and feeling the effects of the stress in his personal life, realizes he must decide between being who he once was or retaining his secret identity to stop Doc Ock and save New York City.

When Peter tells Uncle Ben:
"Uncle Ben, I'm Peter Parker.  I am spider-man, no more."
What I read from this statement:
Peter Parker thought being spider-man means he needs to give up something in life, however, deep inside him feels the duty and power and he chose to come back, and protect the city.  I persuade myself that he has got the balance at the end, by getting Mary Jane back, and also being Spider-man.

When we have total acceptance of ourself, we can accept our strength, weaknesses, we come to realize what we can do, and who we are, our duties and values.  We can make a difference, we can make some change, we can make a decision which is true to ourselves, what's better for us.

When I based this values to my trading, I decide for myself which action is suitable, as I am gonna be responsible to myself, the actions that I am gonna take, which trade I am gonna take, how much of risk exposure, and the expected return in every trade, whether it justify the expectation, and the purpose.

I love the "Trader's Handbook II - Instant Mindset Tuning" specially written by Grand Sifu DAR Wong, from the guide, I start to visualize, I used to be ignorant (even now I still have sooo many things that I do not know), I am committed to think, to learn, and grow.  I thank Sifu for this great book, this book has presented so much of his wisdom and experience.

For those who attended the ProMaster, do read this book again and again, I am sure, that many can gain from sifu's instant mindset tuning.
