To: fellowfool who wrote (33481 ) 9/22/2000 11:17:26 AM From: IQBAL LATIF Respond to of 50167 Dear fellow fool I am a greater fool thati s the premises based on which I write, I know little but with the little I know I try to know more and more I discover the more shallow i feel and that iso ne lesson I want to give to my kids.. ...<<Dear Iqbal-I am just one of many lurkers tuning in daily in order to learn. You know that many have come to rely on your levels. I hope that this responsibility does not come to weigh too heavily. Perhaps the traits which I have come to admire most are your integrity and humility. You do not claim to know it all and are willing to admit when you are wrong. One does not usually see this in persons raised to the status of "market guru". I sincerely hope that you continue to help us to keep our common sense intact all through the ups and downs of the market.>> Integrity iso ne thing one shoudl go for in life, your word shoudl be your contract, that is the essence of life in my opinion, I have shaped this thread in a way that it is not about markets only it is about our market strategies and how they impact our life styles and how they make us worst or better, that iso ne yard stick that I try to check myself, I think with success humility is an asset, .. Guru status.. when I see how worng i am and the way i think is os different from the mainstream I think I should be a anti-guru, them moment one strats thinking of being too smart or other smaller things, he loses tocu with the reality, I never or rarely have read my posts twice I always think that peole who know me should read me with my defects of comprehension, inability of expression and broken language and difficulty of understanding all of htese combined make my work easier, as I am not here to proove anything , I like to share the openess of my horizon and that sharing cross border has some significance that is an added bonus but one hting i want to teach my sons be straight, make knowledge common and do your job what you undertake to the best of your ability.. my inegrity my intelligence and my humility will all come to naught if I fail to convince my children the way I post, they are my worst critics they read me and I am mean to teach them through a great thread called Idea, that is lessons of life nado ne day one of kids after i am not around will write a nice little story about Ideas and how i fill in my timewithin my schedule of works and planes and different cities.. it is my passion and my training field.. I am a small man with a modest background but with great desire to learn that is what my parents taught and that is what i do here with best of my ability.. it is all for everyone of us and we keep moving on..fwiw..
