College education is often a serious achievement, but it may also be a grand failure that is likely to take away several years of life and give nothing attributable to real-time needs of any mature individual going to start working. There is a set of common mistakes in college choice that students make every year, so every individual needs to be aware of them before making the final decision on where to apply. The present article is dedicated to several widely spread misleading assumptions by which students are guided in choosing a college. They often lead to bitter disappointment and prevent them from becoming valid specialists in the field.What One Should Not Do When Choosing a College?1. The first main misconception is that the larger the college is, the better; it is much easier to explore oneself, one's aspirations and educational ambitions in a smaller and closer college community. The size does not matter any more, and the majority of higher educational establishments have already created the supportive climate and increased opportunities for their students.2.

In Mr. Arthur Koestler's book, The Act of Creation, he discusses the logic of laughter. I have recently written about Mr. John Cleese and his thoughts regarding humor and what is needed in order to be creative. Both men share similar ideas which can be applied to trading models and trading systems. Mr. Koestler states that humor occurs when there is, "the perceiving of an idea…in two self-consistent but habitually incompatible frames of reference." The "idea" here is similar to the main idea of our trading model and the frames of reference underlying the trading system. Successful and robust trading systems usually operate within various frames of reference, for example, two or more time frames, markets, or events. When we "get" a joke, we are usually relating the idea of the joke to two or more frames of reference. When we trade, we use various frames of reference for the trade to setup. But when we trade we always seem to use time as one of those frames of reference. It may be the time frame we choose to trade in, or the use of two or more time frames to setup the trade. I wonder if there is any way we can avoid the concept of time when we...more
