Bernard Baruch used to say, "IF we took all of the world's money and distributed it equally, within a few years all of the people who have most of it today would have it again". While I am somewhat skeptical about this I do think that most CEOs have that combination of brains, guts, drive, energy and lack of empathy for others that sets them apart from the average person.

I work with guys who came from Africa China, India and elsewhere. They're good people, and talented. Just don't see any of them being as crafty, driven and hard nosed as your average CEO.



Matt, isn't your own opinion good enough for you? Why do you care what others think of your posts or your lifestyle?

You have come a ways in life and live in a particular place. You're happy being a good steward to the planet. Some of us, in contrast, are just cheap and get a small stroke from being efficient, is all. Others want to party or have a greed for speed.

Some people are not going to agree with you. Some will call you names. I don't agree with all that you claim here but I think that you're sincere.

Let the bad roll off of your back. I've had people come at me here and as long as they don't get too intense I let it go. If they want to scrap I give it to them. Life is too short to worry about what others think of you, besides the people who you pledge allegiance to in RL. I care what my lovers, friends and family think, not of me but of what I do with them.

Everyone else? It's nice but not essential.

Gene

Gene,

You seem very wise, and your words are encouraging and useful.

I see what you mean about the CEOs, but some in this world do get certain things in life from knowing successful others. This is often not the case, but some will argue that a certain "C" student got into office as president because of his connections in life.

I also see what you mean about the comments regarding, "caring what others think"... I am not one to care what others think too often... I was just indicating that people are pushing themselves into nice, neat little world views, and that we should more often than push others away, should embrace similarity... all in which, would lead to kinder people.

Thanks Gene for putting a better face on Yaris World, and continue to do your part for efficiency from a technological standpoint... very interesting!

Matt
