Not Hard Nor Easy

Life is not as hard as some people think. And it certainly isn’t as easy as others think. These positions or viewpoints can change at any time though, depending on events.

Get Rich Quick Versus Easy

You can get rich quick but it’s unlikely to be easy. First define what quick means. In an 80 year life, I’d say quick would be 5 years, though you could stretch it to 10.

You also have to define what rich is. So let’s say USD2.0 million. That’s a reasonable sum. If you put that in a dividend stock like IBM and received 5% per year plus some capital gain, you’d have USD100,000 per year income and a growing capital base. This would be more than 3x the average salary of a US worker and they’d never have to lift a finger for it for the rest of their life. For the average person, that would be life-changing and feel rather rich.

Can it be done? Of course it can. You can achieve anything. It is rare but happens 1,000’s of times per year.

Example can be found in tech startups, sports, entertainment, music, finance, sales and small companies. In 5 years, a person can go from 17 and obscure to 22 and minted. It won’t have been easy but it was very quick. Now go make it happen!

What’s Important?

School grades? Your job? Maybe your income is more important than the job itself. Is it important to give your kids a great childhood? What does a great childhood mean? It’s probably slightly different for a lot of people. Only you can decide what is important in your life. And we will know by what you actually do and not what you tell us.

Lightning, Thunder, Rain.

I love a tropical storm. The intensity. The freshness. It’s exciting and entertaining. It was the original 5-D natural entertainment option. Fun for the whole family. We’ve had two days in a row of afternoon spectaculars. Wonderful to experience from inside the cave.

What Is It For?

Reading A Brief History Of Time and listening to Sapiens on Audible these days. Lots of thoughts percolate up with these types of books. While everything matters in the moment, your actions today are unlikely to be remembered or really matter 500 years from now. So what’s it all for? Perhaps any reason is a good one.
