Observe your cat. It is difficult to surprise him. Why? Naturally his superior hearing is part of the answer, but not all of it. He moves well, using his senses fully. He is not preoccupied with irrelevancies. He's not thinking about his job or his image or his income tax. He is putting first things first, principally his physical security. Do likewise.

Anyone who is aware of his environment knows that the peril of physical assault does exist, and that it exists everywhere and at all times.

It`s human nature to be optimistic. Any fool can enter a market, it takes talent to exit consistently and profitably.

Aggressiveness carries with it an incalculable moral edge in any combat, offensive or defensive.

When under attack, it is necessary to evaluate the situation and to decide instantly upon a proper course of action, to be carried out immediately with all the force you can bring to bear. He who hesitates is indeed lost. Do not soliloquize. Do not delay. Be decisive.
