"Above all, keep a close watch on this — that you are never so tied to your former acquaintances and friends that you are pulled down to their level. If you don't, you'll be ruined. . . . You must choose whether to be loved by these friends and remain the same person, or to become a better person at the cost of those friends . . . if you try to have it both ways you will neither make progress nor keep what you once had."
— Epictetus, Discourses
"From good people you'll learn good, but if you mingle with the bad you'll destroy such soul as you had."
— Musonius Rufus, Quoting T Heognis Of M Egara, L Ectures
When I read today's meditation it struck me that the same can be said for traders! It is important to spend time with the right people in the right places. This is why TTM's Discord server is a great place to spend time in, as there are some great people to learn from and get advice from. You will develop as a trader and gain some really useful knowledge on your trading journey for free!
You only have to look at the fees people are charging for the next greatest trading strategy on social media platforms. Avoid these people who just want to take your money! Spend your time with the right people instead.
Congratulations on becoming involved with TTM; you have found "the right scene" so make the most of it!
