Article - Mapping Your Investment

You may not be right all the time but you may be right most of the time through education.

Mapping a career path and a lifestyle objective is all down to the choices that you make and there are plenty of choices to be made. Do you want to learn about the stock market? bonds, commodities and foreign exchange? Whatever your preference it requires years of dedication; much like the planting of a seed; for from small seedlings come large possibilities.

There is nothing left to chance; you are not a mere pawn of destiny; you have the power to pick and choose the goals that suit you most. Do you wish to work from home? or do you wish to invest in an office where you cannot be disturbed? How many hours a day do you have for education and trading? Do you wish to choose this path as a second career apart from your main work? Whatever the questions and answers all journeys will require map reading abilities to navigate towards the goals of our preference.

Education is the paving stone that takes you forwards. Every precious minute spent through reading creates the building blocks in your mind to forge your trading ideas and models. Education plays such a large role in assisting us to make the better choices and find the short cuts towards our objectives. Therefore, mapping your investment in life can be made more easily through the persistent dedication for discovery of new concepts to help you learn faster and go forwards in life much quicker.

The author Tony Buzan http://www.tonybuzan.com/about/mind-mapping/ has written a large and unique collection of work dedicated to the subject of mind mapping. Essentially mind mapping originated as a concept upon observations and meditations through Zen Buddhism in Japan. how do we build neural roadways to help us find our goals in life?

For 2000 years Japanese Buddhist monks have learned the art of stillness to see the beauty of the entire universe within a single tiny thought. Through mediation a student may reflect upon a bamboo tree and notice its body, how it stems from the ground, how its roots sprawl on the surface and seep within, how its trunk stretches up into the air and how its branches spread profusely to soak the beneficial rays of the life-endearing sun. Thence one by one, the student of observation retains the image in his mind's eye, and removes leaf and twig, branch by branch until only the trunk and roots are left standing. This exercise of Zen meditation produces an immense power of concentration skill. And concentration is the sum of all efforts that leads the student to observation and conclusion.

Mind-mapping is essentially an offspring form Zen Buddhist meditative practice. We envision the totality of our dreams like the bamboo tree in all its beauty. then we break down that picture in our mind's eye into several component pieces and we begin to analyze the separate members. Once the component functions have been processed and gleaned then the sum of all parts may be
understood.

Where am i going? where am I now? Where have I been? The mind map of life can re-arrange the most riddled perplexities and refocus the mind with a sharper perspective of the goals of life.

Thus the study of mind-mapping is a beneficial tool and part of your educational library for greater time spent upon educational pursuits may reflect greater chances of success.

You may not be right all the time when you pick your trades, but through constant education, and meditative practice, you certainly may be successful most of the time as you map your investment with strategic care and discover the short cuts to building stronger neural networks and trading experience.
