When bad stuff happens in the investment world, be a Stock Market Martian.Mark Watney is left for dead and abandoned on the surface of Mars. He figures out how to survive for years on a planet where nothing grows and and the atmosphere is toxic to humans. Needless to say, he is forced to improvise or, as he says, "science the heck" out of his problems.While Watney's story takes the context to much higher level, even on Earth life is full of stressful unknowns. There are two ways to deal with them: reaction or readiness. The Martian explores and contrasts both approaches in extreme conditions. Really bad stuff happens in space. While Watney does flirt with despair and other non-productive, fear-based reactions - he is human after all - he survives because he takes the readiness approach drilled into him through years of training.The post A Stock Market Martian appeared first on ALTUS Wealth Health.
