I'm feeling lucky

"I'm feeling lucky" was my mantra going on a date.

Disappoint & reality quickly kicks in.

Do you want to know what upsets me about dating?

You only need to ask.

When out of luck - begging works for me

@luutzu - I failed to realise you may not be interested - but others may..

"When you go on a date you never know if you will be lucky - BUT she does"

I had better get to work and leave you to it. Keep up the good work.

@sptrawler something I learnt early in life..

"Working took up a lot of my spare time"

And you can take that to the Bank from someone who worked 7 days a week.

Have 5 days of the year where I was restricted from working - really pissed me off.

Humorous slant

Another comments from a reader

"I particularly enjoyed the humorous slant on the world’s most important financial institution, and reflected on the impact that emotional confidence has on the world’s economy"

Resorting to humour in trying times?

Maybe another topic of interest to dump on..

OTT

"Your words of wisdom continue to impress and edify, along with the insights into the fellow members of humankind who attract your admiration"

Now that over the top - I wonder what he was on when he sent the email to me?

You need to associate with good people

"I am also keen to assist in developing a format for your words of wisdom that will attract the attention of the large audience which they deserve (again to avoid the ‘annoyance and exhaustion’ factor with so many words strung together). Perhaps they could be shared in a weekly insight article in a journal of some repute"

Muddling words make a difference

“a wise friend of ours once reminded us that “happiness is appreciating what you have”

So close - My definition of happiness is ‘desiring’ what you have !!

Comma's make a difference as well

A comma can make the difference if you get a horse or not.

For sale
Horse, saddle & bridle (you get a horse)

For sale
Horse saddle & bridle (sorry no comma - no horse)

Straight from the horses mouth..
“China had enormous respect for DT, and his incredibly large brain” !!!

That reminds me of an old saying - “It’s better to remain silent & be thought a fool than open your mouth & remove all doubt”.

Teachers

Too often, schools become dumping grounds for every societal ailment, and teachers are expected to fix them all, often without any support. That’s not to mention mandatory five-point reporting from years earlier, along with a bevy of what are now referred to as ‘curriculum persepctives’.

You just gotta feel for teachers.

Been there done that - I took up a two offer to teach a specialised course at Tafe (students were adults not children)

Best thing to come from that was getting a really top solicitor (he was one of my students)

Targeted teaching

Functions of Trigonometry, Sine, Cosine and Tangent are important when it comes to coding a Trading algorithm- most trading strategies used in technical analysis are based on advanced mathematics that indicates if a market is trending or in a cycle, whether I should buy or sell.

Trigonometry has turned out to be important to me but to the majority of students less so.

Whereas Financial Educations is important to every student – they are basic life skills.

Scott Pape

1. “Arming kids with basic financial skills will help set them up for a much brighter financial future must start now”
2. “Most kids don’t have any financial confidence because they are not taught about it in schools,’’ he said.
3. “When you leave school if your parents don’t teach you anything about money the cycle repeats.”

Rubbing shoulders with other who share your view feels good.

Understand the concept of news.

Some news is simply passive reporting of factual events. This applies mostly to things beyond human influence or which are inconsequential. Natural occurrences, sports results and an article saying that 10,000 people attended a concert last night generally fall into this category. The facts are stated along with some photos and that's it really.

A considerable volume of news is actively produced however and this falls into two categories:

1. Where whoever is making the announcement wishes to gain maximum attention so as to promote themselves, a business, political party etc.

2. Where those announcing it wish to receive as little attention as possible since the content of the announcement is something they would prefer not to be known, it being announced publicly only because of some obligation to do so.

News of type 1 will contain the maximum possible amount of positive information, will usually completely omit any negative information or uncertainty, and will be announced at a time determined as likely to gain maximum attention.

News of the latter type 2 will contain only the required minimum of information and is typically announced when most people are distracted by other events. For example immediately prior to Christmas, on the weekend of a major sporting event or when some international drama has caught the public's attention.

Government media releases sent out at 4pm on the 24th of December are a classic example of the latter approach of seeking to avoid attention. These are, of course, the sort of announcements you'd be very wise to pay attention to.
