Burn Brightly

This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one: the being a force of nature instead of a feverish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. Life is no ‘brief candle’ to me. It is a sort of splendid torch that I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to a future generation.

Deserve….

Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett’s business partner, once said,

“The safest way to get what you want is to deserve what you want.”

This in my opinion applies to just about everything, especially relationships and investing.

Feeling Hostaged?

The mystery of our soul.”
