The cow season ends when chaos begins. In this troubled world, there will always be opportunities for exceptional profits. The only flaw of these ideal situations is their constant movement from one economic sector to another. Throughout human history, what is considered ideal has shifted from trade in wood and marble to precious stones, then to coffee, tea, bananas, cotton, oil and beyond. As the ancient Greeks said, everything flows. Similarly, the phrase "money never sleeps" reminds us that we must plan our course and pursue it diligently.
The path to wealth requires deep economic thinking. We must focus on understanding money rather than chasing it blindly. Often, we spend hours, days, or even months on things we could have achieved if we had access to sudden wealth. An objective analyst might ask why we fail to seize the opportunities presented by a globalized world.
Too often, we hesitate to produce useful products, services or information for the public because we fear failure. Even worse, we fail by restraining our own will and not daring to implement a plan. Failure is often presented as an unavoidable obstacle to our aspirations. To overcome this fear, we must pursue our goals with stubbornness, ignoring discouraging advice. Nothing can overturn the momentum of genuine passion, the secret ingredient of success.
Some people talk about the collapse of the economic system and ridicule those who invest or start businesses. But waiting for fate to change accomplishes nothing. Even if the global financial system collapses, nothing essential to our personal lives or character is lost. Chaos can be the foundation for greatness, as long as we remain true to ourselves. Money follows the path of your work and that path never changes, because creation demands effort and dedication.
