Arnold Schwarzenegger used to always say — Schwarzenegger, love him, hate him, I don’t necessarily have a feeling one way or the other, but he used to always say that a good pump in his weight-lifting world was as good as sex. I’d say hitting a home run is right there. The point is, getting to the point where you have got it on the line, you’re making something happen, you don’t give a shit what your neighbors think of you. You don’t give a shit what your family thinks of you. You’re just gonna take on the world. That’s it. That’s the goal. You live one time, one time and it’s over. If you go through life scared, if you go through life following the plan that your father told you to do, that your mother told you to do, or some other nonsense society told you to do: you need to get a steady job, you need a college degree, then you get a steady job, yada, yada, yada. Guess what, you’ll be 60, by the time you know it you’ll be 70, maybe you’ll be dead soon.

Stop waiting for the perfect opportunity to start living the way you want to live.

Before she says a word, Bob says, ‘I’ll give you $800 to drop that towel.’
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob, after a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.
The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.      
When she gets to the bathroom , her husband asks, ‘Who was that?’
‘It was Bob the next door neighbor,’ she replies.
‘Great,’ the husband says, ‘did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?’  
Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure. (more…)
