TED talk: Your body language shapes who you are

by Leave a Comment

I thought this TED talk is definitely worth watching. My weekend 21 minutes well-spent.

“Body language affects how others see us, but it may also change how we see ourselves. Social psychologist Amy Cuddy shows how “power posing” — standing in a posture of confidence, even when we don’t feel confident — can affect testosterone and cortisol levels in the brain, and might even have an impact on our chances for success.”

As I tweeted before, I will be on 1-month vacation to Southeast Asia, so trading will be light to none.� Have fun with your year end trading, and see you next year.

Talks Richard St. John: “Success is a continuous journey”

I was planning to run some accounting and journaling work during Sunday morning, but my broker platforms were offline for maintenance. I browse around TED talk to find some quality videos, here is one of them. Well, some of you might have watched this before, but, it is worth to revisit again. Enjoy!

Richard St. John reminds us that success is not a one-way street, but a constant journey. He uses the story of his business’ rise and fall to illustrate a valuable lesson — when we stop trying, we fail.
