the sleepless nights.

Estate - Debt

I kind of hate to be the voice of doom, but I just can't see how prices can't
go down. I think people have actually forgotten that property prices can decrease.
There's this feeling that they just won't fall, but, of course, that's not true.

A revolution in humanity’s use of fossil
fuel-based energy would be necessary sooner
or later to sustain and to extend modern
standards of living. It will be required
sooner if we are to hold the risks of climate
change to acceptable levels. The costs that
we bear in making an early adjustment will
bring forward, and reduce for future times,
the costs of the inevitable eventual adjustment
away from fossil fuels.

Great talents are the most lovely and often
the most dangerous fruits on the tree of
humanity. They hang upon the most slender
twigs that are easily snapped off.
Carl
Jung - Great

Security is mostly a superstition. It does
not exist in nature, nor do the children
of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding
danger is no safer in the long run than
outright exposure. Life is either a daring
adventure, or nothing.
Helen

The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word 'crisis'. One brush stroke

A man does what he must.. in spite of personal consequences, in spite of

Banks and other providers of credit to households
have been competing vigorously to expand
or protect their market share. In the process,
lending standards have been progressively
eroded so that lenders are now engaging
in practices that would have been regarded

ago.

When everyone feels that risks are at their minimum, over-confidence can
take over and elementary precautions start to get watered down.

One doesn't accept bad challenges. Part

seeing that the risks are rational and the

commensurate.. with the risks.
Sumner

We all have to decide how we are going to
fail.. by not going far enough or by going
too far.

the risk.

Risk
Every day, you'll have opportunities to take chances and to work outside
your safety net. Sure, it's a lot easier to stay in your comfort zone.. in my
case, business suits and real estate.. but sometimes you have to take risks. When
the risks pay off, that's when you reap the biggest rewards.

In my case, if one out of five opportunities
is interesting enough to work on, maybe

are all the variables. But you have to be
constantly sorting and choosing and prioritizing.
