For myself, I believe that it really takes committing yourself to being positive, self-confident, self-disciplined, diligent, and sticking to the Faith to be a happy person. In general, I think if you do those things while becoming successful and are a nice person then you have a great shot of finding favor from the people you want.
There's really no set-in-stone formula with trading to make a lot of money with it, but just requires sticking to some system that works and you're comfortable with. Sometimes, you'll come up on top while other times, you will be losing money. It is what it is, and it's something I'm getting used to.
