One-Moment Meditation: “How to Meditate in a Moment”

For those who do not have any prior training in meditation or some other means to clear your mind, like a good exercise routine, when you are not trading, this is a good introduction to very basic meditation.

The technique explained in the video is not complex at all. All it takes is your willingness to give it a try and practice it everyday. Similar to any other mind training techniques, it takes time to do this proficiently.

For those of you who already know how to do meditation but having difficulty in maintaining your meditative state for prolonged period of time, the concept introduced in the video can help you improve your speed in entering the meditative state which in turn compensate for the time you lose during a meditation session.

JK Rowling: The fringe benefits of failure

Ms. Rowling’s commencement speech at Harvard in June 2008. It is about 20 minutes in length.

The speech is 2 speeches in one.

First part of the speech focuses on her journey from youth to poverty and how that transformed her. Learning firsthand from poverty is not fun. For those who have a very strong will, it is a very effective tool. As Ms. Rowling says, it has profound impact on her and contributed to her success which was not something she has planned for.

Second part of the speech focuses on the inequalities in this world where she learned from her work with people suppressed by their governments. Ms. Rowling is trying to remind the graduating class that they have a responsibility too to make a difference in this world because of who they are.

It is an inspirational speech worth watching.

A Gift to My Children: A Father’s Lessons for Life and Investing by Jim Rogers

Summary

A strongly opinionated book on what is good for one’s life. And the opinions coming from a famous speculator does not help as it is in direct clash against those who believe in playing safe in life. Hence it is not a book for everyone. I like it myself.
