Happy New Year!

Jump to new
Sat next to a Sri Lanken Stunner last night at a $200/head New Years eve Ball.

Humbling to find out that our ticket price was over 3 mths pay in many cases.
Worked out that my wage bill for the 15 staff I have could have employed me around 350 Sri lankens!!

So as we continue to accumulate our wealth (and so we should ---we have the opportunity so use it!),remember that no matter how poor you are in this country you are richer than 95% of those on this planet!!

Enjoy 2005 its another year in the short visit we have here.

And the greenkeeper who prepared one of the wickets
in the recent India/Oz test series gets $30.00 weekly.

I think complacency is our biggest enermy here
Make hay while the sun shines.

All the best for 05
May all your goals come true

Why don't we just share some of our money? After all you even get tax benefits and this is as good a time as any to share. If someone is particularly tight you can start with as little as $10- it builds character to give to the needy and the opressed, or volunteer your time instead. I have a goal to give away a certain amount of money every year (just as I have a goal to make a certain amount every year). Even George Soros donates so I can't see why we traders don't.
 
Many of us do but dont talk about it.

The public of Australia have been fantastic with $50 mill donated thus far.When you have been to places like Indonesia,Thialand youll realise that these people will never have the OPPORTUNITES you and I have.

They will never(well most)be in the position to own a company,Trade the stock market,buy and sell property.Even to travel.

Yet if you need a meal they will be the first to invite you into their home and family.

They are few poor in this country and most of them are by choice!!
 
Donating is great but please do it directly if you can and avoid the many ngo/charities which are actually just scam.in the spirit of New Year celebration, i will stop here but i lost some more faith in mankind yesterday on that subject
 
Happy New Year everyone!

I feel we need an inspiring quote to get us off on the right foot:
“There are no great men – only great challenges, which ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.”

Sorry, that's all I got. I know @Skate will have a good one. :)

I live my life by this one quote
"Life is like a dogsled team. If you ain't the lead dog, the scenery never changes"

"Life is like a dogsled team. If you ain't the lead dog, the scenery never changes"
And i might add bluntly
"And you keep looking at asses"

qldfrog your tag explains exactly why you need to be the top dog.

My life has revolved around that one quote & it has stood me in good stead.

Many receive advice, only the wise profit from it and those who read the quote more than once, unpack it, will find words of motivation.

I think Syria would be up there at 98 percent
