This razor-sharp quip from Billy Connolly, the legendary Scottish comedian, actor, and musician (born November 16, 1942, in Glasgow), flips the script on the classic empathy adage . Known as «The Big Yin» for his larger-than-life storytelling and irreverent humor, Connolly rose from shipyard welder to global icon in the 1970s, starring in films like Mrs. Brown and battling Parkinson’s with unyielding wit since 2013—reminding us that laughter turns life’s absurdities into advantages.
In life, this isn’t just about kindness; it’s a sly reminder that true understanding often leads to your own win.
Dive deep into someone’s world—empathize, learn their moves—and you might just walk away richer, leaving judgments behind. For aspiring traders eyeing this as a second stable income, think of it as your learning blueprint: «Walk a mile» in a pro trader’s shoes by shadowing their strategies, analyzing market patterns, and practicing risk management through demos or mentors.
But don’t stop there—once you’ve internalized their wisdom (like spotting trends or diversifying assets), innovate boldly to «steal» the edge: build automated tools, blend in unique data insights, or pivot to niche markets like crypto or options for steady side gains.
Suddenly, you’re miles ahead with «their shoes» (aka skills) in your arsenal, turning empathy into profitable independence.
Who cares about the competition? You’ve got the tools now!
What’s one «shoe-stealing» lesson you’ve learned in your pursuits?
