Live or live in fear. Have you ever seen a wealthy pessimist?

Actually... I have seen a great many broke optimists. usually they blame their bad luck. I'd suggest they didn't look at every angle, cost out and evaluate all the probabilities.

An interesting factoid, the proportion of the wealthiest in China, new money, is held by those who have the least formal qualification, and those with PhD the smallest proportion.

In a rampaging economy with higher numbers of those with nothing that probabilistically the result is not a surprise, someone will have an endless "run of good luck". And the skew of itial numbers starting with nothing is the result.

But not in a rampaging economy, it pays to turn over every stone, and leave optimistic hops of good luck at the door.

SD would do no less. Sorry definitely HAVE done no less. They hold the whip hand and know exactly what they can and will do, and have ABSOLUTELY no reliance on whether we end up being friends or not.
