Wise Words from Steve Cohen
“People are afraid of success. You could have some people really bright, and they just, somehow when they get to the end of the year they just haven't somehow performed at a level that they expect themselves to.
People have a funny way of looking at the world in the way they cut the data. They're not honest with themselves ... they are not looking at the way the world really is as opposed to the way that they want the world to be.
This is the internal war that people have to fight to get to what the truth is and ultimately what success looks like, and how you get closer to success.
The more truthful you can be with yourself and the more that you can be reflective and get to real transparency with yourself, the more likely that you will fix the problems that you have and deal with the issues that you have so that you can perform at a level of maximum performance. The more you're willing to ignore it, the more that you're willing to blame the outside world for your problems.
You always hear people say, "Well, it's the market, it's the market." What the hell does that mean? I don't even know what that means as opposed to what did you do to ... I mean, the world's going to exist whether you like it or not. I always say I got to live in this world; I don't create it. The world's happening, what are you going to do about it? It's amazing how people attribute outside forces to what's happening to them as opposed to being accountable and dealing with it.”
