The standards you are using are not good. You dont have to become the best to enjoy the doing of things. Life is about the journey, not the destination. My dad used to always tell me if you cant be the best dont even bother. Even though it

My dad ran his own company for 35 years. One piece of advice he gave to me was to always have control. My corollary to that is to be fine being a minority stakeholder, but recognize that you don't have control so the one with control u

The strategy he is following is hitting them hard and making them come to the table to actually negotiate. The chinese have abused us for quite a long time.

this is 100% not true. Local governments are controlled by old people who are fighting change. Landlords would love to increase the density of properties to make more money from a single property.

No one is entitled to anything, that is the point. Business owners and employees agree to a mutually beneficial arrangement. But business owners arent entitled to anything except adherence to the agreement. If the employee can get a better

Many people who own property absolutely want to put more units on. Others who own property want to stop it because of NIMBY. Lets say you have a single family home worth $2 million and you replace it with an 8 plex. You can sell each unit f

I dont know the economics of our local toy stores, but the ones that seem to thrive allow you to actually play with the toys. If it was more like a theme park or a playground you would get parents to bring their kids in just to play. For ex

People will keep buying natural diamonds, because they are more expensive. Just like $30K handbags will continue to sell because they are $30k. Some people will buy copies, but many people would rather have nothing than a fake. For status
