I have “weekend blue”, because, weekend to me, is all about driving around, sending kiddo to different enhancement classes. So the term TGIF means nothing to me. Anyway, on the bright side, the driving-waiting period is also a good time for me to clear my reading backlog.

Here are the articles I have collected this week, I thought might be valuable for traders’ development.

Visionary goals are inherently idealistic: not in the sense of pie-in-the-sky, but in the sense of speaking to our ideals. – by Brett Steenbarger – Tags: traders development – http://traderfeed.blogspot.com.au/2014/11/challenging-yourself-and-changing.html
