If you're working for a good company and you're happy there, and you're being compensated accordingly, and your work satisfies you, you should stay there.
Don't waste a good mistake, learn from it.
Your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow.
There is a good life waiting for you. Its just waiting for you to grab it
Remember that all financial markets are filled with good but not necessarily innocent people looking after their own self-interests before they look after yours.
An example of good debt is the debt on the apartment houses I own. That debt is good only as long as there are tenants to pay my mortgages. If tenants stop paying their rent, my good debt turns into bad debt.
Deflation isn't good, and inflation is easier to cure than deflation.

I don't know why I am internally a violent person. I don't have the normal nerve endings most people do, which was very good for me as a pilot in Viet Nam. When most people are afraid, I'm actually quite excited about things. The more dangerous something is, the happier I am.
