I was hoping somebody might fall for it, but yes, £2k on a race at Penn National does give the game away. :)

Well I was just googling "Granite Worktops" of all things on Youtube and after it had played, this autoplayed...

I ended up listening to it to the end..
It shows what it takes to get to the top I guess, no secret other than hard work; worth a listen in the background if you're having one of those days where you're wondering if you will ever crack trading..
Thought Id post it up..
Regards
Peter

Wouldn't necessarily advocate the Schwarzenegger spiel. It isn't true. Hardly anyone will get to the top (whatever that might mean) through just 'hard work'. In fact the opposite is true. Too much work causes people to to become unhappy and stressed. Obviously people do learn from failures, etc, and having some goals is a good thing. But Schwarzenegger has failed spectacularly in his family life. He's also done plenty of other things that wouldn't come recommended.

True, but if there is one thing I could take from that speech it's the "work your ass off" bit, or at least work harder rather then getting up, booting up and start clicking. :)

When I give advice to people I also tell them to work hard, but realise that this may not be enough. But to come to terms with that.

I've always worked hard and you tend to create opportunity through that compared to people who don't. OK they may get lucky but there are many more hard workers that make it.

Distinctly flattens after Melbourne cup :shock: (Whole Flemtington carnival was weird for me in any case).
