It is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things.
- Henry David Thoreau
I look around and see the depravity that some individuals have reached and the heights that others have achieved. The notion that a person can find happiness by taking lottery winning actions, i.e. doing those things that will either give them a measure of success or return absolutely nothing is dangerous at best.
The Enron scandals of a few years ago clearly demonstrate this. Similar attitudes are to be found in foundering politicians and leaders of many fallen businesses. Placing faith in desperate and unlikely sources is a dangerous and generally unwise thing to do.

This is very thought provoking and wise. I will remember it. It's always good to slow down sometimes and ponder over things, we always then get better answers than doing stuff in a rush. I found you while adgitizing.
