A few economic truisms:
Anything worthwhile requires time and effort.
Putting in time and effort is hard, but it gives you experience.
Learning from your experiences is difficult, but can lead to expertise.
Applying expertise over time is not easy, but can lead to rewards.
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Do not be too quick to assume your enemy is a savage just because he is your enemy. Perhaps he is your enemy because he thinks you are a savage. Or perhaps he is afraid of you because he feels that you are afraid of him. And perhaps if he believed you are capable of loving him he would no longer be your enemy. -Thomas Merton, monk, writer (31 Jan 1915-1968)

Why the greatest obstacle to success is success.
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. -Edward Abbey, naturalist and author (29 Jan 1927-1989)
