OT: Quote from Market Wizards: Interviews with Top Traders
by Jack D. Schwager

Interview with Bruce Kovner

Bruce Kovner...When asked if Michael Marcus had an influence on him.. the response...

Were you influenced by Michael?
Oh, yes,very much. Michael taught me one thing that was incredibly important[pause].

That is a great lead-in. What is the punch line?
He taught me that you could make a million dollars. He showed me that if you applied yourself, great things could happen. It is very easy to miss the point that you really can do it. He showed me that if you take a position and use discipline, you can actually make it.

My thoughts:
I feel when you are focusing trade by trade that you can lose sight of the longer term and bigger picture. If a person works hard and applies themselves with discipline that they too can make it down the road. The potential for that to happen is very real and one must not forget that!

It starts with a firm belief that you can make it! sheff is in inspiration to all!
