Many years ago, the commencement speaker at a prestigious university asked all members of the graduating class who had a definite plan for their lives to hold up their hands. As he looked around the room, only three hands were raised. Twenty-five years later, when the class held a reunion, the combined net worth of those three individuals exceeded that of the remainder of the class.
Reading your quotes made me start thinking. My mind created a quote and I quickly wrote it down. This is what it came up with. It's basically your never going to be able to trade like someone you follow. However you can be influenced by them. For example you can follow someone's strategy, yet your results are different. Why it's important to make something your own.

They set deadlines and force themselves to establish priorities. Even if your activities don’t usually require strict deadlines, set them for yourself. You will be amazed at how much you can accomplish in a short time — if that’s all the time you have.

There’s an old folk song about a thirsty traveler who comes across a pump in the desert. An attached note explains that there’s a jar of water buried nearby to prime the pump. You’ve got to give before you get, the note says. It is up to the traveler to decide whether to drink the water from the jar or take a chance that the small amount of water invested will result in an unlimited supply of cold, clear water
Success is more of a process than an event. Great success is achieved after a long string of small successes. Do your absolute best every day in your job, but always plan for the future. View each day as an opportunity to learn something that will make you more valuable.
