When we have something of value to trade, we have options on what we trade it for. If we have nothing, we have to cross our fingers and hope for a handout.

Bitter truth isn't it? When we are young we kind of feel we could do a lot with trade and do a lot with our investment. And then reality, outside world and other variables of life hit.

On the topic of self made, I feel like we copy the successful people and look at the conditional probability if we can change our life based on their approach. If things work out we tend to move towards stacking of success and that starts to work.

I would love to read your future works on the "decision making" topic. Because more I read your views, more I get to improve my judgement over things.
