In 1923, do you know who was:
* President of the largest steel company?
* President of the largest gas company?
* The greatest wheat speculator?
* President of the Bank of International Settlement?
* The Great Bear of Wall Street?

These men should have been considered some of the world's
most successful men. At least, they found the secret of
making money. Now almost 80 years later, do you know what
became of these men?

died a pauper.

insane.

penniless.
* Cosabee Livermore, president of the BIS, shot himself

In that same year, 1923, Gene Sarazen won most of the important
golf championships, including both the US Open and PGA Championship.
He played golf until he was 92 and died in 1999 at the age
of 95... and was financially solvent at his death.
Conclusion: Stop worrying about business and start playing
more golf!
