I went to an unbelievable wedding on July 16th

I've been to several weddings. As a matter a fact, I average about 3-4 per years between friends and relatives (Just for good measure, 3 this year and had to turn down one that will be happening about 2 hours from this post.). The wedding I went to on July 16th will probably never be equaled. It was an outdoor wedding on the grounds of the church. The matron of honor and bridesmaids were driven in union up to the site in brand new looking Vipers. Then, the bride is driven up in a Viper by her dad, and of course, her dad walks her down the aisle. I was also very surprised to find out a good friend of mine that sang at the wedding, who is an excellent singer, used to be a professional singer.

Normally, the reception is held at the church's dining hall. I could not figure out why they are having about 500 of us drive to the private airport in our area for the reception. I mean a reception at an airport?
We got the answer when we got there. Before we walked inside, we were all treated to an airshow, and it was jaw dropping. We all had fun walking around the airport, looking at all the planes, even though we may have looked strange at an airport in suits and ties, and the ladies dressed to their peak best in 95-degree (35 C) humid heat.

Afterward, we were all ushered inside. We were treated to a meal that was so sumptuous, it was fit for a king and queen. There was at least 60 people that was involved with preparation and general help, most close friends or relatives of the bride and groom.

When it came close to the ending of the festivities, the bride and groom made their way to all the tables to individually thank everyone for coming and their support.

Another thing that made the wedding so special is that the couple did it right from the beginning. The first time they ever touched each other or, needless to say, kissed was in front of everyone after they said their vows. They were true to each other from the time they dated which set a good foundation for their marriage. They practiced the proper principles which makes for a wonderful marriage.

The ending of everything was epic. While they were making their way through the crowd thanking everyone, someone was on the runway taxing one of the planes. I didn't know it, but the plane is his. The couple jumped in the plane, and proclaimed through the loud speaker, "Thank-you everyone!", while they were in the plane taking off.

I also was not aware of it, but she also has a pilot's license. He lives 510 miles (825 Km) from here, so in her, we are losing a good friend from the area.

I was imagining prince William and Katherine as the groom and bride...... while reading your article.
good one.
-usha-

Naw, this was better--lol.

Seriously, I got more confidence these 2 will make it until "Death do us part" than Prince William and Katherine.

hey,
dont say that, lets wish both the pairs make it a best pair until death

Absolutely! I wasn't clear in the previous post. I want everyone to be true and make it to the end. It's just when I know the lives, that's where the confidence comes in.

Ya very true.

But confidence will never comes in, ??

we need to discover and rediscover it within ourselves, its omnipresent

In trading, I have found confidence comes from the experience. The more good trades I have put up over time, the more confidence I gain.

In life, such as the example of the married couple I described, there is a confidence factor there, because they lived right and done right before their marriage. A lot can be said for the fact they did not even hold hands until the marriage vows were performed. In other words, a mutual respect.
Also, they prayed a lot about their relationship and always sought sound counsel during their courtship.

I believe confidence is not necessary to always being rediscovered if doing the right thing is predominated in the life, such as the example. The same goes for everyday living.
Getting back to trading, most traders don't have confidence because they did not start off with the right fundamental building blocks in their trading plan. They rush into it hoping to make the big bucks right away. By building right, confidence is not sought, but it follows.

Hi,
I agree with your views 100% about confidence regarding trading. I erred when i entered the market first time a couple of years back and lost a huge sum. Now i am building blocks and seeking confidence from trading gurus (Just like U) to be a perfect trader. I am confident i will be successful this time, because I have understood my mistakes, and I know what I did not know.
But about the personal relationship.......with due respect to your experiences and thoughts, what i said was, u get confidence from your heart and not out of your experiences, it just happens, it can never be gained, it can only be given. Not holding hands etc., before marriage is very common in my country. In most of the cases its a prerequisite here.
Thank you very much for a healthy chat.

Also, in your country, there is a very low divorce rate, and shacking up is frowned upon. Here in the USA and the UK, anything goes. Thus, there are the severe issues. Divorce is common. Dysfunctional homes are common in lieu of that.
In essence, I have more confidence that a marriage of a couple in India has a much better chance of making it than one in the USA or the UK. The statistics, the proving and the life all add to the confidence or lack thereof.

With respect to your trading, you have confidence because it seems you have started to do things the right way with building the correct fundamental building blocks into your plan. Your confidence will grow as you stream winning trade together.

Likewise, I'm enjoying the conversation with you.
