On The Concept Of Putting Things In Perspective:

“The goal of a good trader, paradoxically, is not to make money. His goal is to trade well. If he trades right, money follows almost as an afterthought. Successful traders keep honing their skills. Trying to reach their personal best is more important to them than making money.”

— Alexander Elder, from Trading For A Living, (1993, John Wiley & Sons Inc., New York).
