"...who can fly this jet?"(is but ½ the question)

"...who can fly this jet and perform under pressure?"

No different then trading the markets, as all IH members can,
but only 10% can trade successfully without any help from others,
and only 1% of that 10% can continue to trade successfully under stress,
a condition of severe events to decide whom has prepared themselves
to deal with an environment of extreme dangers, and then of these folks
who have passed the book test, only a few of this few that know
of the danger ahead can react to it, as most of the few of the few
will freeze, or wait for another to initiate action.

Who will move towards the danger, encapsulate it to deal with it,
knowing you have an attitude to win, but may lose.

Most people don't Talk, letting others.

Many people Talk, but only a few do the Walk.

Of those that Talk and do a Walk, most stumble to the ground,
blame another for tripping them, or putting barriers in front of them.

Of those that can really Walk their Talk, some will lose the battle,
but not the respect of others.

What is combat?
- a holdup man to take your wallet in a dark alley
- a start-up company stumbles

What are you? [carrot, egg or coffee bean]

A certain daughter complained to her father.

She was tired of fighting and struggling.

It seemed that just as one problem was solved another arose.

Her father put three pots of water onto a fire.

Soon the three pots came to a boil.

In one he placed carrots, in the other he placed eggs,
and the last he placed ground coffee beans.

He let them sit and boil, without saying a word.

Half an hour later he removed the carrots and eggs and placed
each in a sperate bowl, then ladled the coffee liquid in a bowl.

Turning to her he asked, Darling what do you see?"

... she asked, "What does it mean Father?"

He explained.

Each of them faced the same adversity, 212 degrees of boiling water.

However, each reacted differently.

The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting but became soft and weak.

The egg went in with a liquid center that became hardened.

The coffee beans absorbed the heat and tranfered strength and richness.

"Which are you," he asked his daughter.

"When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond?

Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?

Are you the carrot that seems hard, but with the smallest amount of pain,
adversity or heat you wilt and become soft with no strength.

Are you the egg which starts off with a malleable heart, a fluid spirit
but became hardened and unmoving inside towards others.

Or are you like the coffee bean?
The bean does not get its peak flavor and robustness until it is boiled.
When the water gets the hottest, it just tastes better.
When things are their worst, you get better.
When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest, you elevate.

How do you handle adversity?

Are you a carrot, egg, or coffee bean?
