    What happened to:

    1. President of the largest steel company?

    2. President of the largest gas company?

    3. President of the New York Stock Exchange?

    4. Greatest wheat speculator?

    5. President of the Bank of International Settlement?

    6. Great Bear of Wall Street?

    These men were considered some of the world's most successful of their day. Now, 80 years later, the history book asks us, if we know what ultimately became of them. The answer:
    in mijn volgende posting, bij gebleken belangstelling uiteraard.

    Kokkie, ze zijn allemaal overleden.

    Maar pas wanneer een man overleden is weet je hoe hij geleefd heeft.

    Nog even geduld.

    Pluton moet een aantal van de antwoorden weten: NYSE president, de grootste beer van Wall Street, die horen bij je financiële cultuur.

    Pluton, denk even hard na!

    Straks de oplossing.

    Groeten,

    6. Great Bear of Wall Street?

    These men were considered some of the world's most successful of their day. Now, 80 years later, the history book asks us, if we know what ultimately became of them. The answer:

    1. Te president of the largest steel company, Charles Schwab, died a pauper.

    2. The president of the largest gas company, Edward Hopson, went insane.

    3. The president of the NYSE, Richard Whitney, was released from prison to die at home.

    4. The greatest wheat speculator, Arthur Cooger, died abroad, penniless.

    5. The president of the Bank of International Settlement, shot himself.

    6. The Great Bear of Wall Street, Cosabee Livermore, also committed suicide.

    However, in that same year, 1933, the PGA Champion and the winner of the most important golf tournament, the US Open, was Gene Sarazen. What became of him?

    He played golf until he was 92, died in 1999 at the age of 95. He was financially secure at the time of his death.

    The moral: Screw work. Play golf. You'll live longer and be better off in the end.

    Tiger Woods verdient honderden miljoenen.

    Althea Gibson, de eerste African American die tennis kampioenschappen won in Europa zowel als Amerika stierf enkele dagen geleden in relatieve armoede.

    Mike Tyson verdiende ook honderden miljoenen, en onlangs verklaarde hij falliessement.

    Peter,

    je wist niet dat er een wedstrijd was maar je hebt hem gewonnen!
    Je bent een filosoof. Gefeliciteerd.
    Hieronder je cadeau.
    Het neemt geen plaats in, roest niet, verouderd niet en het spoort met wat je denkt.

    Rondje applaus.

    Groeten,

    Michael Kraland

    The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings
    but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints.

    We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have
    bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time.

    We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

    We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too
    little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

    We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk
    too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

    We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years
    to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back,
    but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor.

    We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger
    things, but not better things.

    We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered
    the atom, but not our prejudice.

    We write more, but learn less.

    We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait.

    We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more
    copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

    These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and
    small character, steep profits and shallow relationships.

    These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes.

    These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw away
    morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.

    It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom.

    A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.

    Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are
    not going to be around forever.

    Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

    Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

    Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones,
    but most of all mean it.

    A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

    Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

    Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

    HOW TO STAY YOUNG

    1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and let
    the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her.

    2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

    3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening,
    whatever. Never let the brain idle. " An idle mind is the devil's playground, and the devil's name is Alzheimer's.

    4. Enjoy the simple things.

    5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

    6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person
    who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are
    alive.

    7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets,
    keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

    8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

    9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

    10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

    AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

    Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the
    moments that take our breath away.

    If you don't send this to at least 8 people.... Who cares?
