Quotes of the Day

If you have any desire of being rich, you must focus. Put a lot of your eggs in a few baskets. Do not do what poor and middle class people do: put their few eggs in many baskets. [1998] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

The greatest indicator of life span isn't genetics, diet, or the amount of daily exercise, as many have suspected. It is lung capacity. Our ability to breathe full breaths is liberally a measure of living capacity. Any regular practice that stretches the lungs and keeps them flexible can retain or increase lung capacity. Moderate exercise like walking or cycling has been shown to boost lung size by up to 15%. [2020] - James Nestor

Start small by making sure your day-to-day routine involves others. Try talking to strangers of all kinds, such as salesclerks, the man or woman behind the dry-cleaning counter, the mailperson, or other parents at your children's school. The goal isn't ultimately to date them; it's to become comfortable talking to people you don't know well. A simple question, such as "how are you?" as you're paying for groceries or holding the door, or even just smiling and saying hello, can provide a background of positive social interactions. The courage history you build through these small steps can help you take it a degree further and begin talking to an interesting-looking stranger who crosses your path. [2004] - Bonnie Jacobson

In today's fast-changing world, it's not so much what you know anymore. It is how fast you learn. It's priceless in finding faster formulas--recipes, if you will, for making dough. [1998] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

A living trust places your portfolio in the hands of an independent manager, usually a trust company, with family members as co-trustees. The trust receives your investment portfolio and the trustees manage it such that you receive a stable income for life, similar to an annuity. The remaining capital is distributed to family members on your death. The provision of the trust agreement should provide instructions for the financing of your care should you require long-term medical attention. The main requirement for trustees is that they be competent, independent parties who will manage your affairs in your best interest. [2020] - Douglas Gray
