or listen to experts. Why should they? They are the center of the universe.
There are so many “intelligent” people who argue or defend when a new idea clashes with
the way they think. In this case, their so-called intelligence combined with arrogance equals
ignorance. Each of us knows people who are highly educated, or believe they are smart, but
their balance sheet paints a different picture. A truly intelligent person welcomes new ideas,
for new ideas can add to the synergy of other accumulated ideas. Listening is more important
than talking. If that were not true, God would not have given us two ears and only one mouth.
Too many people think with their mouth instead of listening in order to absorb new ideas
and possibilities. They argue instead of asking questions.
I take a long view on my wealth. I do not subscribe to the get-rich-quick mentality most
lottery players or casino gamblers have. I may go in and out of stocks, but I am long on
education. If you want to fly an airplane, I advise taking lessons first. I am always shocked at
people who buy stocks or real estate, but never invest in their greatest asset, their mind. Just
because you bought a house or two does not make you an expert at real estate.
