I've noticed pretty much the same thing too. Becoming a good trader and personnal development seem to go hand-in-hand. Maybe it's because being a trader is such an individual activity (whereby you win or loss money based purely on your own decisions and actions) that you're forced to make yourself a better person, as no-one is going to do it for you.

I wonder how other people would be if they had to focus more on personnal development as part and parcel of making significant advances in their choosen field or profession?
