Because of China’s production-oriented monetary regime, credit expansion can become disinflationary rather than reflationary, from Jeffery (Jinfan) Chang and Wei Xiong https://t.co/dlcmE3s3XO
Your success in life is almost always directly correlated with how many uncomfortable conversations and situations you are willing to put yourself into
Ronald Reagan beautifully captured the essence and greatness of America, reminding us that our strength lies in being a welcoming beacon of hope, innovation, and renewal. Ronald Reagan - Anyone Can Become an American https://t.co/OA8d2yplUm via @YouTube
Ayn Rand: "The moral code which is implicit in capitalism has never been formulated explicitly. The basic premise of that code is that man, is an end in himself, not a means to the ends of others. That man must exist for his own sake, neither sacrificing himself to others nor others sacrificing themselves to himself.
This is the moral premise in which the United States of America was based.
The principle of man's right to his own life, to his own liberty, to the pursuit of his own happiness."
10 years. 10 years. I’ve listened to every Dem & never Trump pundit call Trump, Elon and anyone else who voted Republican a Nazi. And now they line up behind Platner, with an actual Nazi tattoo. Unbelievable.
My favorite piece of career advice comes from Marc Andreessen
The first rule of career planning is to not plan it at all
The world is simply too dynamic to box yourself into a singular pre-determined path for your entire life
I think one of the biggest misconceptions about banking and buyside jobs is that your hours are only bad during your analyst years
Reality is that there are still VPs and MDs who are well north of 40 but still pulling 70-80 hours per week despite having kids and a family
The sheer number of hours might not all be spent at the desk, but they are constantly traveling, talking to companies, going to dinners to meet with potential clients, and building up relationships
Even when they are at home having dinner, a lot of them are not fully present and still thinking about the job.
Not to mention, they are always on call when something needs to get done. There is no concept of a vacation or time off, no matter the circumstance
I have had VPs/MDs join in client calls in the middle of their kid’s graduation and during their best friend’s wedding. Every MD I have ever worked for has always been responsive to client emails within minutes, even during time away
The uncomfortable truth is that when you have a seat paying you that much, there is no escape from the role. You are signing up for it to consume every second of your life
That is the price you pay for the money and status it earns
@Savageboston I honestly think he can be as good (or maybe even better) for the team than AJ Brown. Chemistry wise he knows Maye and he proved last season he can be coached without having an attitude.
