There are two things that you need to save for. First, you need an emergency cushion of no fewer than six months of living expenses.

The old way of doing 'good business' was based on the principle, 'the ends justifies the means.' In the future, good business will invoke 'the means justifying the ends.'

The ultimate function of prophecy is not to tell the future, but to make it. Your successful past will block your visions of the future.
