In any case, we all have a natural tendency not only to want to achieve
success in something, but also to apply the principles of success that work
very well in one situation to practically everything else. It often doesn't
occur to us that some environments may require very different
psychological resources to achieve success.
Suppose, for example, that you arbitrarily tried to apply a certain thought
system of success to trading futures or stocks without first investigating the
usefulness or validity of that system in relationship to the actual conditions
as they exist in the markets. More than likely, you would be doomed to
failure before you even started
