Hi CTurner, I don't know why you were downmodded... what you said makes perfect sense. I am firmly in the camp of Achieve and Prosper. Being Jewish helps :)

Hi CTurner, I don't know why you were downmodded... what you said makes perfect sense. I am firmly in the camp of Achieve and Prosper. Being Jewish helps :) , but the Immigrant bit was the mainstay of my comment. jews have been thrown out of lots of countries (including Egypt/Israel/Iran in Bible) so it may be in our blood to be Immigrants and thus to trust most in the care you can provide to your own family via success. I know lots of 5 generation jews who underperform versus some dynamic Israelis. Different topic, different discussion. -- I only commented on it because I work extensively with Charities. I now do volunteer work with the IT4Communities[1] and have worked with lots of others in the past too. I have perceived an active repulsion to Money and Success amongst many Charity Staff. These staff are often recruited from the community which normally does the rest of the caring. This is where I have developed my idea that the Fear of Money is actually misguided Concern for Community. They love their community as it struggles to help the needy and are petrified of being left as the only broke fuckers who care as the University grads end up in finance. ---------- [1] http://www.it4communities.org.uk/it4c/home/index.jsp http://www.it4communities.org.uk/it4c/home/index.jsp
