对话华商领袖郭鹤年 FULL VERSION

企业家都有一种使命感。赚钱当然是最重要的工作,可是,当获得大量金钱后,使命感便会油然而生。没有使命感,一个人很快便想到退休,每天在高尔夫球场出现。 许多人比我聪明,不过,聪明的人夜生活比较乱,第二天可能在桌上睡着,我没有睡,所以我的马儿就跑得比较快。 http://wiki.mbalib.com/wiki/%E9%83%AD%E9%B9%A4%E5%B9%B4

Gisele Bundchen, Warren Buffet, and Donald Trump

图片
What do Victoria Secret model Gisele Bundchen and billionaire Warren Buffett have in common? Besides fame, fortune, and investing smarts (yes, models have brains), they both hated the U.S. dollar... and may still to this day. You see, back in 2007, the catwalk princess refused to be paid in U.S. dollars. Bundchen requested she be paid "only euros" because, as Bloomberg pointed out at the time, the dollar "can only depreciate because Americans led by President George W. Bush are living beyond their means." Even Buffett could be heard laughing when asked about the world's best currency: "Not the U.S. dollar," he'd often say. Today Donald Trump is joining the anti-dollar ranks, having just accepted $200,000 in gold bullion for office space . And it may be one of the smartest things Trump has ever done, knowing that as long as Bernanke is Fed chief, gold will be a great investment moving forward. It's up to you how you want to tra...

None Dare Call It Conspiracy

图片
Government either gets money by taxing or borrowing. The super-rich got that way by leveraging the latter. But does anyone really understand how that government borrowing works? From Gary Allen's famed 1971 classic None Dare Call It Conspiracy: The public is led to believe that our government borrows from "the people" through savings bonds. Actually, however, only a small percentage of the national debt is held by individuals in this form. Most government bonds, except those held by the government itself through its trust funds, are held by vast banking firms known as international banks. For centuries there has been big money to be made by international bankers in the financing of governments and kings. The process through which one collects a debt from a government or a monarch is not a subject taught in the business schools of our universities, and most of us - having never been in the business of lending money to kings - have not given the problem much thought. B...

Provoking Thoughts : Cancer treatment is about making money?

图片
video on internet: from a fwd mail... The below is absolutely 100% true and as a doctor I have been telling people this for 15 years now. No one wants to listen. Folks need to wake up. Cancer treatment is about making money. It is a 120 billion dollar a year industry in the United States alone and estimated to be a 600 billion dollar a year industry worldwide. A successful cancer case according to the American Cancer Society and the American College of Oncology and Hematology means that the person survives for 5 years. Both the American Cancer Society and the American College of Oncology and Hematology admit that a person is likely to survive cancer for 7 to 10 years even if they do absolutely NOTHING. Of course, only the doctors get those magazines - not you, the cancer patient.  Alternative medicine's track record of curing cancer is 10 times higher than that of conventional medicine. Note that I say CURE. ...

The Thinking Man

Be The Thinking Man Thong Ming Sen Make money your God and it will plague you like the devil. ~ Henry Fielding In today's world, greed rears its ugly head in the form of insatiable thirst for materialistic wealth. We deceive ourselves into thinking that we will be content if we get what we want only to find out that the happiness is only temporary and before long, we are craving for more and better items, just as how drug abusers crave for more drugs. If the remedy for drug abuse is rehabilitation programmes, then the remedy for greed is looking for non-materialistic joy. If criticism are fired at you, remember that no one kicks a dead dog. The fact that you are being criticised shows that you are "worthy" of it. Furthermore, life is a marathon, not a race. The good thing about life is that if you are good, there's always someone better than you, and if you are bad, there are always others who are worse. The sands of time are such that the past, present ...
