Inaction's Affect on Wealth

Whether you consider wealth to be the number of friends you have, the quality of your inner peace, the value of your investment portfolio, or whether you use some other measure, the impact of sitting on your behind and doing nothing is clear. It will result in less wealth.

If you don't go out and meet people you will not increase the number of friends you have. If you go out but do not communicate you will not increase your social network. If you don't increase your social network less opportunities will arise in your life.

If you don't work at inner peace you will not increase its quality. Without trying to meditate for thirty minutes and shutting out your inner voice, without trying yoga, or qi gong or other practices and keeping an open minded it will be much harder to achieve inner peace. You will not be exposed to the solution that might bring you that sought after peace.

If you do not go out and work to earn income. If you do not put some of your earnings away for savings. If you do not try different jobs and challenges. If you don not take any risks then your investments will not grow as fast as they could.

Opportunities come and go. Friends attract friends. Wealth flows to where creativity resides. Act. Move. Talk. Communicate. Live. Go outside. Express yourself.

Banning Russian Teams and Athletes

Speaking Tuesday to legislators in London about Wimbledon, British Sports Minister Nigel Huddleston said: "Absolutely nobody flying the flag for Russia should be allowed. Many of us would be willing and able to [allow them to] compete as non-aligned, non-flag-bearing entities. But I think it needs to go beyond that. We need some potential assurances that they are not supporters of Vladimir Putin and we are considering what requirements we may need to try and get some assurances along those lines." (source =  https://www.cbc.ca/sports/tennis/wimbledon-british-government-in-talks-about-russian-players-1.6386102 ) The invasion of Ukraine by Russia has sparked much debate in the world of sports.  Should Russian teams be banned from competing?  Should individual Russian athletes be banned?  Should teams of athletes be allowed to compete but without flag, uniform, country name, anthem, etc.? Some athletes have said that it is unfair to mix politics and sports.  They rightly state t

A Personal Request

To my readers, Yesterday I registered to run the 5K HSBC 2009 Childrun.  This is an event that is being held June 7, 2009 for the 24th year.  It raises funds to help provide care and treatment to children who suffer from cancer.  I consider it a worthwhile cause and I am therefore asking you to donate whatever you can.  Here is a link to my personal web page where you can make a donation.  Thanks in advance for your support.

Ash Barty

The news that Ash Barty has taken the decision to retire at the age of 25 has caused many people to react.  Some understand, others question, others accuse.   Her decision has touched off a few ideas of my own. When is enough actually enough?  When do we decide we have enough?  When can we stop and just be content with what we have? At 25 she has achieved so much.  I have seen words accusing her of lack of character, of quitting or of not having the mental fortitude (one person I saw was wondering what was wrong with women's tennis?)  I think none of these people can really speak with any authority.  First of all most of these people, writing the drivel, can hardly speak from a place of success.  How many grand slams have they won?  How many tens of millions of dollars have they earned, how many weeks at number one have they spend and how well known are they in the world?   At some point, enough is enough.  I respect Ash Barty for taking a personal decision.  She has enough.  She h
