Don't overthink

 

A man who suffers before it is necessary, suffers more than is necessary.









Decay comes from turning the TV when the sun is out

If you don't move , it's winter the body shuts down for hibernation, if you move it's spring everything is ready to hunt.


If you don't send any signals to grow, decay will win, but even a modest signal  to grow- a decent workout, even a good stiff walk -will drown out the noise. Thing is, you need to do something every day to tell your body it's spring time.


“Your body reads idleness as a sign that you are starving to death as slowly as possible, no matter how much you eat. Exercise”

To be nº1 is an advantage except

 


To be nº1 is an incredible advantage but in banking a notorious bad business because the employees capture a big part of the economics this advantage does not exist according to Buffett. I think there is a small advantage for the big guy, it's the idea of too big to fail. Yes it's better to deposit in the big guy. 


But I agree with buffet the best banks could be a small bank that is slow about doing new business.


everywhere else to be nº1 is incredible. , if you go to buy something why not buy what everybody is buying, if it was bad it would not be nº1. nº1 is low risk.









Don't go for the easy money

All good is hard. All evil is easy. Dying, losing, cheating, and mediocrity is easy. Stay away from easy. 

Scott Alexander

I don't know if the regular business of PFIZER was good or was bad , however it looks like they jumped on the easy money , COVID  and rushed a vaccine made some quick money and then......BUUMMM they disrupted their long term business


Never go for the easy money I guess it's the lesson. If someone finds that PFIZER lied in the vaccines that could be even worse
















Animals in nature never get fat.

 Animals in nature never get fat.


Funny that only pets fed by humans get fat.


Bears eat like crazy in the summer and are fairly chubby in the autumn. But then comes the hard times. The surplus fat is burned surviving the winter.


I am like the Bears!


I guess the explanation must be if you eat proper food you don't get fat, however if you eat human food the animal gets fat easily.


Bruce Rengers: I have seen massively obese animals in the wild, but it is always because they are eating human food that is brought to them. For example, monkeys in temples in Thailand are considered sacred and receive food from people every day even though they live "in the wild." These monkeys are so obese they can barely move.

A man growing old becomes a child again.

Sophocles


Children love everything, everything, I believe that as we got old all will be wonderful , every small thing. slow and happy. 


It's very important to live in a way that doesn't drive you crazy but rather drives you sane. You are driven sane by doing small, simple things carefully, thereby spiritualizing your activities.



Men are like wine - some turn to vinegar, but the best improve with age.

Pope John XXIII




You don’t have to accept things you are not okay with

 “Half of the troubles of this life can be traced to saying yes too quickly and not saying no soon enough.” Josh Billings


People think focus means saying yes to the thing you’ve got to focus on. But that’s not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I’m actually as proud of the things we haven’t done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things.”


Steve Jobs
