The world of trading is something that fascinates me since an early age as it provides me with an opportunity to take control of my future. There is something empowering about being able to direct where my money should go based on my own independent decisions. Rather than simply spending money or worse, not knowing where my money is going, by trading,  I am giving my money a "job" to do - to make my money work for me. Just as I work hard for my money, my money should likewise work hard for me. Many have the perception that trading would naturally build and create wealth over time. But not quite, trading is not always about gaining wealth. Instead, trading provides me with a rare opportunity to build a financial safety net for myself. At some point in my life, I am aware that I would have to stop working.  When that day eventually arrives, it will be comforting to know that I have created a way to support myself without relying on any pay from an employer whom I am at the mercy of for a livelihood. Or better yet, what if I could choose to stop working when I want to and not when I need to. Trading can help me create such invaluable financial freedom that allows me to have more say in my own future. Having a strong family support is also helpful, which further motivates me to embark on an exciting trading journey. Since young, I have been encouraged by my parents to be independent and to take charge of the different decisions I have made, right from the choice of schools to the subject combination I would choose. And very importantly, to be able to face up to the consequences of my decisions and accept whatever mistakes from the decisions I have made. This is certainly very helpful for trading as I have to deal with the outcome of my trading decisions - be it profits or losses no matter how big or small.  There is an English proverb that is very applicable to trading - " you reap what you sow" - I sow so that I can reap the benefits in the future.
