“Few are willing to put their money, or their jobs, on the line for an unconventional idea.”
“The rich apply the manipulative power of money to wriggle out of trouble, but the poor either walks or talks himself out of trouble.”
“If you want to reclaim your life, start by reclaiming your time.”
“Intrinsic Value Calculations for Stocks are only for a selected few. It is boring, mundane hard work. For everyone else who wants to make money, there is the Greater Fool Theory , and it also works remarkably well in the real world. You may not believe it, but there always exists a bigger or greater fool willing to pay a higher price.”
“Saving money is the best antidote for fear.”
“It s like something he assumed was just a painted backdrop all his life has revealed itself to be real: foreign cities are real, and famous artworks, and underground railway systems, and remnants of the Berlin Wall. That s money, the substance that makes the world real. There s something so corrupt and sexy about it.”
“Blood might be thicker than water, but both were thinner than money”
“Never let anyone (or any situation) scramble your mind, your heart or your money. You are no good to anyone (especially yourself) if you are insane, miserable and broke.”
“Bitcoin was in theory and in practice inseparable from the process of computation run on cheap, powerful hardware: the system could not have existed without markets for digital moving images; especially video games, driving down the price of microchips that could handle the onerous business of guessing. It also had a voracious appetite for electricity, which had to come from somewhere - burning coal or natural gas, spinning turbines, decaying uranium - and which wasn t being used for something arguably more constructive than this discovery of meaningless hashes. The whole apparatus of the early twenty-first century s most complex and refined infrastructures and technologies was turned to the conquest of the useless. It resembled John Maynard Keynes s satirical response to criticisms of his capital injection proposal by proponents of the gold standard: just put banknotes in bottles, he suggested, and bury them in disused coal mines for people to dig up - a useless task to slow the dispersal of the new money and get people to work for it. It would, indeed, be more sensible to build houses and the like; but if there are political and practical difficulties in the way of this, the above would be better than nothing.”
“If you don’t have money now, you haven’t given what you should have or you didn’t accept what you should have.”
“Why? So you can still qualify for assistance? Your family is gaming the system? No. Diana had always hated when people said this about her family. The bosses who made her dad list a payroll company as his employer, they gamed the system. The assholes who convinced her parents to take out both a second mortgage and a HELOC in 2006 gamed the system. The employers who would never give Edith enough hours for benefits gamed the system. But ask a lot of people, and they d tell you it s people like her grandma who game the system. They d tell you that an old woman who s worked hard every day of her life and still struggles to get by is a malignant vacuum for their personal tax dollars, and a blight on their lives as free Americans. We re just trying to live.”
“Well, the vast majority of people don t steal to get ahead. A lot of people work their way up from nothing without stealing. I don t think a lot of people work their way up from nothing, ever. People like you want to believe it happens all the time. But it really doesn t.”
“Before we discuss intuition in greater detail, let us first dispel the myths that intuition is some kind of a ‘fluke’ of nature. I would like you to understand that intuition is a skill that can be developed just as any other skills that you acquire. It comes from you, from no one else! Because we have not experienced that zone, that part, that dimension of our being, we have forgotten it. - HDH Bhagawan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivoham, in the book Living Enlightenment .”
“A 10% loss in any investment can be recovered, not by 10%, but only by 11% gain. A 50% loss in any investment can be recovered only by 100% gain. And a 90% loss in any investment can be recovered only by a whopping 1,000% gain. Yes, all the above statements are true. Numbers can confuse the best of financial wizards. It needs a rare trait of common sense to unravel the mysteries of finance. For your investments: - Keep them Simple. - Avoid Jargons. - Exhibit Discipline. - Be Consistent. - Apply Common Sense”
“Asking Who can I help today? will always lead to a more fulfilling life than How can I make more money today?”
“Why are we afraid of death? We are afraid because instinctively we resist change and death is an abrupt change in life. - HDH Bhagawan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivoham, in the book Living Enlightenment .”
“Do what you love and love what you do, Then good luck and money will always Come To you.”
