Day: January 15, 2018

Posted on January 15, 2018

Professor Arthur’s thought for the day

“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform…or pause and reflect.”             Mark_Twain

“Off Piste”

Definition: So as to deviate from what is conventional, usual, or expected. It’s about hearing the often scornful, “WHAT are you DOING?” And realizing that scorn often represents the winds of consensus. And in life, as with investing, the hard thing to do,  and the right thing to do,  are often the same. The real question is, “What are you NOT doing?... And why not?” Off Piste is learning, risk taking, and learning to thoughtfully take risks.

Connecting the Dots

 

“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. Because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart even when it leads you off the well-worn path… and that will make all the difference. “– Steve Jobs

Enjoy your dots.
