The year is 1923. In 1923, do you know who was:
1. President of the largest steel company?
2. President of the largest gas company?
3. President of the New York Stock Exchange?
4. Greatest wheat speculator?
5. President of the Bank International Settlement?
6. Great Bear of Wall Street?
Now, these men should have been considered some of the world's most
successful men. At least, they found the secret to making bundles of
money.
Almost 80 years later, the history book asks us, do we know what
actually became of these men?
ANSWERS:
1. The president of the largest steel company, Charles Schwab, died
a pauper.
2. The president of the largest gas company, Edward Hopson, went
insane.
3. The president of the NYSE, Richard Whitney, was released from
prison to die at home.
4. The greatest wheat speculator, Arthur Cooger, died abroad,
penniless.
5. The president of the Bank of International Settlement, shot
himself.
6. The Great Bear of Wall Street, Cosabee Livermore, committed
suicide.
However, in that same year, 1923, the winner of the most important
golf championship, Gene Sarazan, won both the US Open & PGA
Championship.
What became of him, you ask?
Well, he played golf until he was 92, died in 1999 at the age of
95,& was financially secure at the time of his death.
CONCLUSION : Stop worrying about business & other bull**** & start
playing golf.

Thank you for the reminder. It is in alignment with my motto starting this year - "Live Large". The two words help keep things in perspective.
