一顆謙遜之心

或許只有一顆謙遜之心，才能擺脫一切的陷阱，包括股票市場內的誘惑。

陷阱往往源自人性的陰暗面 ---- 傲慢、自大和貪婪。而謙遜和寬容往往是對治的良藥。

金與銀
另一次聖安東尼(Saint Anthony the Great)在沙漠裡發現一盤銀幣在他的道路。他沉思了一會兒，為什麼一盤銀幣放在沒有其他旅人的沙漠。其後，他很快便意識到必定是魔鬼(心魔)出來有引誘他。為此他說: 「哈！魔鬼，你引誘我，騙我，但不得在你的權力下。」 聖安東尼說完後，銀板便消失。

聖安東尼繼續走，看到魔鬼利用一堆黃金引誘他。聖安東尼隨即將黃金投入火堆中，黃金亦像銀幣般消失。這些事件發生後，聖安東尼有一個影像顯示出整個世界充滿了誘惑和陷阱。

聖安東尼向上帝呼叫: 「哦，天哪，誰可以擺脫這些陷阱?」

一個聲音向他回應: 「一顆謙遜之心」

Silver and gold
Another time Saint Anthony was traveling in the desert he found a plate of silver coins in his path. He pondered for a moment as to why a plate of silver coins would be out in the desert where no one else travels. Then he realized the devil must have laid it out there to tempt him. To that he said, "Ha! Devil, thou weenest to tempt me and deceive me, but it shall not be in thy power." Once he said this, the plate of silver vanished.

Saint Anthony continued walking along and saw a pile of gold in his way which the devil had laid there to deceive him. Saint Anthony cast the pile of gold into a fire, and it vanished just like the silver coins did.

After these events, Saint Anthony had a vision where the whole world was full of snares and traps.

He cried to the Lord, "Oh good Lord, who may escape from these snares?"

A voice said back to him, "humility shall escape them without more."
