There’s no difference between responsibility and adventure. The heavier the responsibility, the more profound the adventure.

Life in Its Purest Form
Life, in its purest form, is a gift you can’t control,
the Universe blesses you when it’s time to unfold.
You may wonder or complain for the injustice of it all,
be patient and relax, for Spirit has heard your call.
There are many, many reasons why plans may go askew,
and often you may ask yourself, “What can I do?”
With disappointment and sadness both pressing down,
they bring tears of unhappiness spilling all around.
This sorrow is just a sign for healing that must come
from deep within; the place your soul waits from.
So fill the void that filters through your heart,
know and love you, for this is where it starts.
Life, in its purest form, will bless you when it’s time,
when the energy of your light is strong enough to shine.
To radiate uncluttered by the ego of your mind,
and materialistic desire is left far behind.
A balance among the body, the mind and the soul,
must be a priority; the focus of your goal.
Before higher awareness opens for you to see,
that it’s your responsibility to manifest spiritual needs.
To believe in a higher power with faith and trust,
then believe in who you are; a request that is a must.
Your light then must shine so brilliantly bright,
because life, in its purest form, looks for this sight.
Then like a shooting star it will travel down,
seeking out your light as it spirals around.
For if your intention and heart remain true,
life, in its purest form, will soon discover you.

When you beat the system, you are called a criminal. But when the system beats and sucks the blood out of the retailers, they are called successful professionals.

There are some messages in videos that have really stuck in my head the last few years. But, I can admit that a lot of the motivational videos are corny.
But, I’d rather listen to corny (even fake) videos that have positive messages and keep encouraging me, than watching pointless videos that just distract me and waste my day.

There is nothing wrong with watching a video that is considered corny to others or even to you and getting motivated.

Yeah. You’re right.
I find that if you watch enough videos, you’ll find one or two that really hit you hard.
Or you may even find a channel or speaker that you like.

Feel like complaining? Feel like giving up?
“I truly feel like all of my dreams have come true. As you look at me, some of you might wonder how someone born without arms and legs could say that. I was very fortunate to be blessed with parents who disregarded the advice and logic of doctors to institutionalize me as a baby. Not having knowledge or experience in raising a child with a disability, they forged ahead with love and faith. And that was enough.“
“I am living my life to fulfill my purpose of sharing a message of hope.”
She didn’t give up, and neither should we.

I didn’t think that funds would specialise in a specific industry.
That’s like a fund that specializes in the automotive industry.
It just seems too vulnerable and narrow to me.
But, he’s done quite well. So, I was wrong.
Dude has an interesting story, though.
In 1991, watching the movie Wall Street, Perkins knew that he wanted to work in finance and become rich.[3]He hung out for 3 days in the lobby of a company hiring screen clerks, persistently asking for a job as a peon.[3] Perkins then became a trainee for a clerk on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 4 World Trade Center, checking trade logs against computer entries.[3] He started off making under $16,000 per year, which he justified because he was getting experience.[3][4] He received raises rather quickly.[5] In the evenings, Perkins drove a limo for traders, sometimes receiving large tips.[3] At night, he lived with his parents and read books on trading, the oil market, and options.[3] He eventually moved into a shared studio on the Upper West Side.[3]
In 1995, during the deregulation of the electricity market in Texas, Perkins moved to Houston to run a trade derivatives and options desk.[5]He was employed as a trader and risk manager for El Paso Energy, Statoil, AIG Energy Trading, and Zahr Securities.[6] By age 30, Perkins was a millionaire.[2]

What Is a Hedge Fund?
A hedge fund is a limited partnership of private investors whose money is pooled and managed by professional fund managers. These managers use a wide range of strategies, including leverage (borrowed money) and the trading of nontraditional assets, to earn above-average investment returns.
Private Equity Funds
Private equity funds more closely resemble venture capital firms in that they invest directly in companies, primarily by purchasing private companies, although they sometimes seek to acquire controlling interest in publicly traded companies through stock purchases. They frequently use leveraged buyouts to acquire financially distressed companies.
Unlike hedge funds focused on short-term profits, private equity funds are focused on the long-term potential of the portfolio of companies they hold an interest in or acquire.
Mutual Funds vs. Hedge Funds: An Overview
Both mutual funds and hedge funds are managed portfolios built from pooled funds with the goal of achieving returns through diversification. This pooling of funds means that a manager—or group of managers—uses investment capital from multiple investors to invest in securities that fit a specific strategy.
Mutual funds are offered by institutional fund managers with a variety of options for retail and institutional investors. Hedge fundstarget high-net-worth investors. These funds require that investors meet specific accredited characteristics.
What Is a Money Market Fund?
A money market fund is a kind of mutual fund that invests in highly liquid, near-term instruments. These instruments include:
- Cash
- Cash equivalent securities
- High-credit-rating, debt-based securities with a short-term maturity (such as U.S. Treasuries)
Money market funds are intended to offer investors high liquidity with a very low level of risk. Money market funds are also called money market mutual funds and are insured by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC).

If you were to create a fund, what kind of fund would you create? (Assuming you already have the credentials, capital, and skill to create/manage them all.)
Also, what kind of corporate culture would you like to have?
