I do not choose to be a common trader. It is my right to be uncommon. I seek opportunity, not security. I don’t wish to be a kept man, humbled and dulled by having the State or a company look after me. I want to take the calculated risks, to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of market to the guaranteed return of a CD. I will not exchange my freedom for beneficence, not my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master except god, nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand erect, be proud and unafraid. I think and act for myself and enjoy the benefit of my trades and to face the world boldly and say, “I have done this with God’s help.” I am a trader.
