Most people talked me into not doing forex. It was risky. Can I bear the loss and so much else that others have to say? Irrespective of that, I still ventured into it. There were lots of ads about a bot that helps monitor your trade. I ignored it instead and got a course on forex.I had friends, and most times I was on the inquisitive side, always asking questions up and down.

I could remember when I got frustrated one certain time at night. At first I was skeptical of calling a friend of mine who was into it for help. It was already late, but I was lucky enough that he was awake too, and he assisted me in the part where I needed help.It was all rosy; I made my first payment, monitored the market, and was all smiles until one day I lost for the first time. It felt like a lump in my throat, and a part of me told me to keep trading while another part of me wanted me to quit, but I was so determined. I've seen people succeed in it. Why can't I?I used that to compensate myself.
Boom! Another lost over $400.I can remember that night I cried to sleep; I suddenly felt hot every slightest thing annoyed me. Frustration and anger for the rest of the week. I was awfully quiet; my friends noticed it, but I just didn't know how to explain. I swallowed my loss and failure, which I didn't share with anybody. I took a week off, just keeping to myself till I got back to myself.It was a blow; I can't remember how painful it was. Then the next week that followed, I didn't just start; I took my time and did research. I went from YouTube to podcasts, watching any videos that could help me improve. My friends weren't left out. I was asking questions almost every time.
This time I was conscious and careful.Though my failure taught me a bitter lesson. Life is all about success and failure, and the moment you fail, it's not the end of the world but time for you to hit it even harder and be careful. Nobody cares about your failure but your success instead. I always take a glass of patience everyg, and even when I get so frustrated at some point I have to just take a deep breath and take a cold chill of water before I get back on track.
