The Victim Mentality



I remember this one late afternoon when I was still a 1st grader. My tutor asked me why I flunked my exam. I told her "Hindi kasi ako nagcheat, yung mga classmates ko, lahat sila nagcheat."  I still remember that very moment because deep inside, I knew I was wrong and it was such a lame excuse. That instead of admitting that I didn't study for it, I put the blame on everyone else. 

The Victim Mentality - "I can give you a hundred reasons why it isn't working, and not one of those involves me." This is the very reason why a lot of people stay as losers in life. 

I guess it's human nature. 


Side comment : Some say this could be the reason why a lot of women can't make up their minds when choosing what to eat. Last time they did, they doomed humanity.

Many pursue trading and investing because they believe it can be their ticket to financial freedom. Oh you've heard the countless stories of successful people in this field, so you try it out. Maybe you'll get lucky. But most probably you won't. If the stock market was an easy game, everybody would be doing it. But it ain't.

At this point, you've come to realize that you need to make a decision. How badly do you want to pursue this idea of freedom?  Well, here's an acid test for that : If you find a single excuse not to win in this game.

"I'm too old.

"It's too complicated."

"The market is rigged."

"I don't have insider information."

"My work schedule doesn't allow me."

"I have too little capital."

"I don't have a mentor."




If you want to be a success, stop with the excuses. And give yourself a chance. When was the last time you were so passionate about flying with your ideas that you forgot about the fear of falling?

  3. there is no one that we really need to blame in every decision that we because it is we that decide on to do it.so what ever the out come of what we have done we should accept it and learn from it.i join stcok market because i felt that this is the best way getting out of being an employee for the rest of my life and also to spend more time to my family specially with my parents that are on there 60's.one thing i learn from being in the stock market is to be passionate with everything that you do in order to succeed.also have more time to learn new ideas to help you improve your self and knowledge.thank you sir zee because most your blog helps me see most of my mistake and it helps me improve how i see and understand the charts of stocks.agian thank you and i'll keep following your blogs and post.
