That’s…

…where one wants to be.

Really tough though.

Something or the other keeps the connection on.

One gravitates towards noise.

It’s like a short circuit.

That something, …

…consisting of harmful information…

…finds a way…

…to make one plunge into it.

Switch off, one hears?

Right. Fair words. That’s when the devils start to rise.

One has just switched off, and the next person one meets blurts out the information which one least needs. By default.

Did you see? The benchmark was down 2%. Or. Oh what a crash today. And. How much is your folio exposed to XYZ?

Ideally – market action, and then other stuff. If not other stuff, then other uncorrelated market action. Then other stuff. Not market info all the time – one doesn’t want that at all. Everyone hovering around sees to it though.

Solution?

Mindset.

Belief in system.

Confidence.

A decoupled system.

Not doing it like institutions do.

Working as per its own rules.

Rules made by – self.

No one else knows these rules. They don’t apply to anyone, except to – self.

Since one’s system’s got its own set of rules, guess what doesn’t apply to it?

Right. Noise.

And because one knows it, guess what got that much stronger?

The ability to deflect the culprit.

Noise – thrown at – self – self – deflects – deftly.

Without the poison, …

…the rest, …

…they say,

…will be History.
