  • I’m Going To Answer This In The Snarkiest Way Possible

    How does your mindset affect your financial success?

    How mindset affects performance no matter what we are doing.

    To those reading this you’re going to get one terrible post today.

    The beauty of being older than 50. I have not eaten in two days. I’m drinking this terrible fluid that makes me go to the bathroom every five minutes. It’s colonoscopy day.

    I have two more 8 ounce glasses to drink and it is horrible.

    But I know I’m doing the right thing and that keeps me coherent.

    Yes, mindset determines many things in life.

    Thank you for your patience.

    If your pet could talk, what would be the first thing it says?

    Our brains are hardwired to look for minds and assign intentionality wherever responsiveness is detected—even a dog tilting its head or waiting by the door triggers our social processing machinery.

    So our dogs are already talking to us. And her cats as well. I know some of us have conversations with our dog and our cat and we simulate the responses they give back to us.

    We would like to think they would start talking to us about a novel about dogs, or the classical music playing in the background.

    One would think Luna would be talking to me about why the cats are allowed on the sofa, and she cannot. That’s not how animals work . That’s how short sided human nature works.

    In general Luna would not talk very much. Because her first sentence would have something to do with squirrels. She would get frustrated because it is a hard word to pronounce.

    And go back to chasing her tail.

    I Will Miss You

    Have you ever regretted reading a book — which one and why?

    There are many books

    when you get to a point

    Where

    One frantically turns the

    page and there is none

    and your comfortable

    companion of the last

    few weeks and hours

    fades into a pleasant

    memory waiting for

    A cocktail party

    conversation
