Your idiotic opinion is always welcome...
Boyd:
Ben Suarez call it "ornamental magnifiers." Agree with him, I do. What's really interesting is that even Barnum mentions this behavior in The Art of Money Getting which you greatfully linked to the other day. Of course, in this day we might not think a fake camel hair shawl will impress anyone, but its equivalent might. If you (as in anyone) is happy to drive an old car and live in an old house or mobile home and live an uncluttered life, no one sees you coming. They leave you alone. You get on with your life making money. Let them buy the depreciating do dads. While you get rich. HA! One guy I was discussing a business venture with said, "You'll recognise me cause I'll be wearing my Calvin Klein shirt." OH what a wanker. (Turns out his shirt was an imitation made in Bali shirt - and he was also wearing a fake made in Bali rolex, and hocked up to his eye balls with new car leases and living in an apartment he couldn't afford.) HA! Know a guy worth about $15mil. Drives an old battered F150, gets around in old shorts and a T, does his own garden work and lives in a non-descript house. Difference is one guy doesn't care about what you think of him. He just goes about his business. The other guys spends all his money to look the part of something he is not - and that's a game you can never win. Michael Ross P.S. I don't think your comments are idiotic. |
