Successful traders do not borrow money from others to trade if they have no savings. Rather, they work harder, save some money and then open a trading account. They also do not trade all their money, but their focus is on protecting what they have.

Anyone can learn to do it. You can do it. Believe in your ability to learn. Unlearn past assumptions that didn't work."
