Recognizing the dips (IM 585)

Well, there is a possibility to recognize the dips in the stock market everyday, but it doesn't happens all the time to most of the people. Long term investor are very clear about this as they follow the stock for a long time and they know its history.

And history repeats...

GE is now at all time low since 1990s. So are the Airlines and Cruise lines. But nobody is sure about the dips. It might become all time low or it might still go down. The challenge is that most of these companies might go bankrupt as the Coronavirus pandemic is hitting hard on economy and most of the companies are burning a lot of cash.

Warren Buffet dumped all the airlines stock earlier this month, which is huge. Nobody knows what impact this would bring.

But as always, there is a possibility to recognize the dips. And you got to follow the stock for the long time, you got to know its history and make a insight about how it reacts on it news and understand the investor sentiments. That's very crucial.

James Allen's As a Man Thinketh (IM 584)

Cherish your visions.

Cherish your ideals.

Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that follows your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts.

For out of them will grow all delightful conditions, all heavenly environment, of these, if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built. ”

Your wishes and dreams are only gratified and answered only when they harmonize with your thoughts and actions.

Dissociation (IM 583)

Dissociate yourself with all the negative people, with all the negative vibes.

It’s  necessary to disassociate with these for the better result in our daily activities. It is obvious that there will be a conscious or sub-conscious effect from every people we meet.

We must be careful in choosing the right person for the betterment of both us and them.

If we notice that there is an ill thought just generated within, then we must disassociate from it as soon as possible because when we keep it for long time, it will start to control us. Then we get controlled by external things.

Disassociating ourselves from ill thoughts and spiteful people is very crucial.

Process of self-creation (IM 582)

The first step in the process of  self-creation is self-consciousness. It means being aware of yourself as a new character and controlling the emotions and mastering it. Learning how to self-control is the key here.

The second step is the creation of own memorable character, one that stands out from crowd; the game that Abraham Lincoln played.

One's power will come from the ability to change shape at will and by adjusting with the environment.

Re-create yourself (IM 582)

The character you seem to have been born with is not necessarily who you are; beyond the characteristics you have inherited, your parents, your friends, and your peers have helped to shape your personality.

Remaking and working on yourself like a clay should be one of your greatest and important life tasks; it makes you an artists - an artist creating yourself.

Julius Caesar recreated himself to become a great emperor of the Rome by setting up new ideals back in 45 B.C. Similarly, Aurore Dupin Dudevant created herself as a "George Sand" to become a successful writer back in 19th century.

The world always wants to assign a role in life. And once you accept that role you are doomed. Instead forge a new identity, one by creating yourself, one that has no boundaries assigned to it by a resentful world and fellow people.

Not accepting? (IM 580)

When it comes to accepting the suggestion from other people, it's often hard for many people. Because of the mindset they have, they often remain blind folded from the reality that they suck at many things.

It's very important to remain receptive (I mean super receptive) but only on the things that really matter the most.

It's important to accept the faults. Not accepting one thing will become the habit and it attacks us like a very bad nightmare in the future.

One directional movement (IM 579)

Our experience with time is always one directional and it's always forward. No matter what the more we give time to something, the more experience we get.

As soon as we encounter one thing, or anything and we give time to it, it won't remain the same.

So, there is always a possibility of making things better every single day.

Organization and organism (IM 578)

Just like organism develop a cell, undergo metamorphosis, die and are replaced, organization also follow the same pattern. They develop a system, follow the procedures and principles, undergo changes to adjust in the current market, and are finally replaced by another organization.

All organization constantly changes just like other living organism...

The process of changing and adapting might be different but the essence is same. And those organization who try to resist the change will be finally replaced by those who are willing to change according to the environment. Everything is dynamic and so, resisting the change might bring to an end of any organization or even an organism.

Silence and smile (IM 577)

It is said that successful people have two things common in their lips: Smile and Silence.

Smile assist them to solve the problem while silence can avoid the problems.

Smile can make a successful business deal while silence can prevent your team from breaking apart. Smile can build a strong team and silence can make it long lasting.
