Oh giving up already. Damn, I was just having fun. Owell, good luck with your trading. I always love stirring things up here on ET.
Happiness is defined by ones ability to find constant joy in everyday life. Money certainly does not bring happiness, it just makes living day to day life a lot easier and enjoyable. I know quite a few people on average income and they are pretty happy as they lack in ambition, now if they were ambitious and things were not working out, I would imagine that would be very stressful and reflect on their overall enjoyment of life.
With money comes great responbility. When I ran at my peak, I had over 20 employees to take care of, To put food on the table. Everybody looked up to me for guidance, Everybody looked up to me to make sure the checks were there every 2 weeks. When things went wrong who has to carry the weight? who has their whole net invested in the company? Who was at risk the most? Making an ass load of money while being stressed out of my MIND! With great power comes great responsbility, And even greater rewards for life. You can be a king and have 500 things to worry about or you can be a peasant and have 2 things to worry about and live stress free. Who are you and what are you destined for in life? BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE.
if you respect yourself you don't need any 'stuff' that makes you think that others will respect you. why do you think that there are super-rich people who drive old cars? do you think they don't respect themselves? most of those luxury goods out there are probably made for people who don't have enough self-respect without those things - but that's just my opinion.
come on - you don't want to come up with the old nonsense of s. h.--> 9/11 - or what do you mean here?
