Happy New Year...Never Say Never, Always be Closing and Be Grateful

I hope everyone has a fantastic, healthy and happy new year. I have had the year of my life. I am appreciating every moment and trying to enjoy every second. It is very hard to be grateful. I have been there so I try not to judge.

There is a lot of pain out there and we are surrounded by stupidity.

I am treating this period in time like being caught in a bad neighborhood…keep your head down, move forward, go fast and don’t expect luck.

In 2002, I said I would never have another partner or start another business (my partner was stealing from me)…but I did.

I never thought I would leave Phoenix as a home. I did.

I never thought I would own a home again because the math did not work and I love math. Sometimes even math is wrong.

I never thought Chinese stocks would reach their 2008 highs. Take a look at what $BIDU did post crisis.

In the end, ‘never’ is a dumb word. It will limit your growth or it will bankrupt you.
