ALL OR NOTHING ATTITUDE

So I did a blog post yesterday on how my trading is going and my plans and my dedication levels, i just want to do a blog post about the kind of all or nothing attitude that i feel i have but i will let you be the judge of this, because someone commented saying i am trying to hard so i will definitely be taking that comment into consideration.

So from when i was young i always wanted to be a professional footballer (Soccer for those Americans reading) and i know you probably thinking it a boys dream and i suppose it is but every one has dreams but people are scared to try and make them into reality, i had tremendous potential i got told year after year until the age of 14 where i played in a summer tournament from a team who put all the best players in the league together and play through the summer where i was scouted by multiple teams such as Manchester city, Blackburn Rovers and Tranmere Rovers the difference between them was that Tranmere offered me a full time 2 year scholarship from the age of 16 to 18 as soon as i sign the papers so i did i signed for them. So my head was n the clouds thought my career was set, i had a excellent attitude while i was there to give a few examples it was pre-season and we where getting our fitness up and on a particular day we where doing a lot of shuttle runs and i started to throw up and i missed out on a good few at the end because i was being sick but when everyone finished i asked if i could finish the ones i had missed so i did and then spent about 20 minutes in the toilet throwing up. Another example was we used to do 14 400 meter sprints with short gaps in between each one and i was up against one of the fittest lads in the team and he kept beating me until my manager said i want you to win this one and we where up to about the 12th round now and to my surprisingly i did win but and undoubtedly threw up afterwards. So i had a great attitude and was always willing to strive for more until the end of my scholarship came and i did not get a professional contract with them.
So of i went heartbroken, but never gave up on that dream just yet, i trained harder than i ever did, my dad wanted me to try to get back into a full time team so i sent my CV of to countless teams and my dad said dont get a job he will look after me, he just told me to focus on being as fit as possible, So every day i would run 5 or so miles, i would do 45-60 minutes worth of skipping, i would go on a exercise bike for 30 minutes, do weight training for 60 minutes and sometime do a exercise dvd called insanity in the evenings, this was my daily routine with every sunday of to rest and also i was playing for a low non league team at the time and they played on saturdays so sunday was my rest day, but no clubs ever got back to me so the dream was fading, but i still had a feeling of satisfaction that i felt i did everything i could so go for my dream which i feel is more than i can say for most people.
I know your reading this thinking it has nothing to do with trading but this post basically is an example of the of person i am and the attitude i have towards stocks, with these stocks i feel i have a new opportunity to be self sufficient not work for ass holes everyday finishing work 10:30pm on the days i do work, to me that is not living that being a sheep, so if from here you can read the first blog post i done called "how i found Tim and what got me interested in the stock market" which is basically a follow on from this but i wrote it before.
And to prove i did play for Tranmere we have a show called Soccer AM here and they do a thing called skills school where they go round all the teams and 2 players will go head to head and show there skills here is mine from someone posting it on youtube poor quality but im the one on the right David McNamara.
