Nassim Nicholas Taleb
"We see the winners and try to "learn" from them, while forgetting the huge number of losers." Nassim Nicholas Taleb
"Human beings tend to view the world as more explainable than it really is. So they look for explanations even when there are none." Nassim Nicholas Taleb
"We almost always ignore the fact that, for one success story, there are many failures. But we seldom hear about the failures (just like we never hear about the many theories that didn't fit the data). So it's all a game of numbers: out of 10,000 traders, a few are statistically bound to be successful, even if they are nothing more than lucky idiots. The fact that they succeeded does not mean anything. It doesn't mean that they are bad traders, but it doesn't mean that they are good traders either, because on average somebody had to succeed." - Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Simply The Best
Most individuals, if not all are unique and special.
They have their own opinion, temperament, personalities, thoughts, decisions and belief systems that work best for them and it is of equal value with intelligent, compassionate, skilled and gifted but function differently.
Each has a distinct personality as different as from one human to another.
Everyone is going to say theirs is the best. What else would they say – theirs is second best? Not a chance! They would say that theirs is simply the best.
Everyone who walks on this earth is unique and this is what makes human society interesting.

Not Everyone Deserves a Front Row Seat.
Life is a theater – invite your audience carefully.
Not everyone is healthy enough to have a front row seat in our lives.
There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance. It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you let go, or at least minimize your time with draining, negative, incompatible, not going anywhere relationships / friendships!!
Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention….
Which ones lift and which ones lean?
Which one encourages and which ones discourage?
Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill?
When you leave certain people, do you feel better or feel worse?
Which ones always have drama or don’t really understand, know or appreciate you?
The more you seek quality, respect, growth, peace of mind, love and truth around you, the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in The FRONT ROW and who should be moved to the balcony of your life.
You cannot change the people around you, but you can change the people you are around!
Remember, everyone does not deserve to occupy a front row seat in your life – adjust accordingly!
You cannot change the people around you...but you can change the people you are around!
Choose wisely the people who sit in the FRONT ROW of your life.
Remember that FRONT ROW seats are for special and deserving people and those who sit in your FRONT ROW should be chosen carefully.
Everyone Can't be in Your FRONT ROW
Remember that the people we hang with will have an impact on both our lives and our income. And so we must be careful to choose the people we hang out with, as well as the information with which we feed our minds.
We should not share our dreams with negative people, Nor feed our dreams with negative thoughts.
It's your choice and your life..... It's up to you who and what you let in it......

Many moons come, many moons go, I no come, baby come, how come? Many moons come, many moons go, you no come, many men come.
Once there was a young Red Indian couple who just got married. After 6 months of marital bliss, the wife was still unable to conceive, so the husband brought her to the Medicine Man. The husband asked the Medicine Man: "Many moons come, Many moons go; I come, Baby no come, How come?"
The Medicine Man told the husband to go to the Blue mountains and meditate there for 9 months. After 9 months had passed, he came down from the mountains, and was surprised to see that his wife had a baby.
So he brought her again to see the Medicine Man, and the husband asked him: "Many moons come , Many moons go, I no come, Baby come, How come?" The
Medicine Man turned to the wife for an answer. She replied: "Many moons
come, Many moons go, You no come, Many men come...."

The FRONT ROW seats
The FRONT ROW seats are for the special and deserving people and those who sit in that FRONT ROW has been chosen carefully. By the same token you might not even get a chance to sit in the balcony.

TANSTAAFL
TANSTAAFL - There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
TANSTAAFL means that a person or a society cannot get something for nothing. Even if something appears to be free, there is always a cost to the person or to society as a whole even though that cost may be hidden or distributed.
