Wealth vs Power
- What's funny?
- His wish list - "I'd want a closet full of designer dresses and some elegant jewelry to go with them. Put the closet in a really nice house and put the house someplace where I'd be important..."
- I detect a shift from money to power.
- Maybe so. But what's the difference, really?
- Money buy things. Power makes things happen. If you ever have a choice, take the power.
One of my favorite quotes.
Lately I come to believe that majority of wealthy people only have money.
If you receive investment from a wealthy man - don't EVER allow him to make decisions. You will regret the moment you trusted him with control for a very long time.

Да фигня это.

Ты из этого делаешь вывод о том что коротенькие истины фигня. Что их употребление есть признак убожества. Что язык не годится в качестве коммуникативного средства. И идешь пить горькую.
Стакан наполовину пуст, а в глазах осень...
Может быть дело все в том, что изначальная посылка "существуют короткие истины которые можно употреблять в реальной жизни" это фигня. И если выбросить ее в мусоропровод, то и смысл в нелюбезных тебе пословиц обнаружится равно как и польза от них для людей, а?
> Ты из этого делаешь вывод
> то и смысл в нелюбезных тебе пословиц
P. S. Я вовсе не противник пословиц. :-)

"There is a difference between being poor and being broke". I think it's about the same thing. The sense is NOT in the amounts of money, really...

The catch is that power & money are so close intertwined that we forget they aren't the same. And sometimes make grave mistakes because of it.
