ABBA - Happy New Year

The time will come when you can think about the future without crying.

My grandmother once gave me a tip:

In difficult times, move forward in small steps.

Do what you have to do, but little by little.

Don’t think about the future

or what may happen tomorrow.

Wash the dishes.

Remove the dust.

Write a letter.

Make a soup.

You see?

Advance step by step.

Take a step and stop.

Rest a little.

Praise yourself.

Take another step.

And then another.

You won’t notice, but your steps will grow more and more.

And the time will come when you can think about the future without crying.

Money - To help you keep it all in perspective here are some thought-provoking quotes about money:-

 

Money is important but people are much more important. When we’re infirm or incapacitated, it’s our loved ones we’ll turn to for help. Yes you can buy a dog but you can’t buy the wag of its tail, as the saying goes.

So the message today is that you should never chase money at the expense of your loved ones.

If you do, you’ll regret it in time I’m sure.

1.    It’s good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it’s good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure that you haven’t lost the things that money can’t buy. ~George Lorimer

2.    You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off you. ~Maya Angelou

3.    Buy when everyone else is selling and hold until everyone else is buying. That’s not just a catchy slogan. It’s the very essence of successful investing. ~J. Paul Getty

4.    If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability. ~Henry Ford

5.    How many millionaires do you know who have become wealthy by investing in savings accounts? I rest my case. ~Robert G. Allen

6.    The real measure of your wealth is how much you’d be worth if you lost all your money. ~Author Unknown

7.    The individual investor should act consistently as an investor and not as a speculator. ~Benjamin Graham

8.    Every time you borrow money, you’re robbing your future self. ~Nathan W. Morris

9.    Never spend your money before you have it. ~Thomas Jefferson

10. It’s not how much money you make, but how much money you keep, how hard it works for you, and how many generations you keep it for. ~Robert Kiyosaki

11. Not everything that can be counted counts and not everything that counts can be counted. ~Albert Einstein

12. A real entrepreneur is somebody who has no safety net underneath them. ~Henry Kravis

13. Don’t take no for an answer. If you’re happy to sit at your desk and not take any risk, you’ll be sitting at your desk for the next 20 years. ~David Rubenstein

14. If you took our top fifteen decisions out, we’d have a pretty average record. It wasn’t hyperactivity, but a hell of a lot of patience. You stuck to your principles and when opportunities came along, you pounced on them with vigour. ~Charlie Munger

15. When buying shares, ask yourself, would you buy the whole company? ~Rene Rivkin
