Working on yourself is the biggest piece of the trading puzzle. It's also undoubtedly the shittiest and least sexy part. It's so painful that most of us (myself included) don't even bother looking in that direction until we lose our shirts and there's nowhere to look but in the mirror.
This book sounds like it's intended for writers and artists, but it's a great read for anybody trying to tackle a challenge. Here are a few quotes relevant to trading and twitter etiquette. Enjoy!
The ego doesn't want us to evolve. The ego runs the show right now. It likes things just the way they are.
The professional cannot allow the actions of others to define his reality
The professional learns to recognize envy driven criticism and to take it for what it is: the supreme compliment
He is prepared, each day, to confront his own self-sabatoge
The professional knows that fear can never be overcome
The sign of the amateur is over-glorification of and preoccupation with the mystery
The more resistance you experience, the more important your work is to you
If you find yourself criticizing other people, you're probably doing it out of resistance
