Josh Beckett got a lot of attention on ESPN.com in 2012. There were several articles written, by some of the top analysts in baseball, proclaiming Beckett the most overrated pitcher in baseball and not a true “Ace.” Well, Beckett definitely has the ability to be a true “Ace” and has been in the past. However he has become complacent. He takes his success for granted and is acting like he takes the fans for granted as well. When you are great at something, you usually get that way by working harder than anyone else. As you claim your spot at the top, some start to lose that drive to put in the work ethic. Same thing happens with traders. If you are lucky enough to be a profitable full time trader, realize that every great thing you did in the past to get to this point relies on your future actions, realize any moment of complacency could end your career. Stay mentally strong and always focused.
