40s age advice ? BY AGE 40 YOU SHOULD BE SMART ENOUGH TO REALIZE ? This must be done so that you can take this as your guidance to the world.
BY AGE 40 YOU SHOULD BE SMART ENOUGH TO REALIZE THIS:
1. Someone makes 10x more than you do in a 9-5 job because they have more “leverage” with their work.
2. Distraction is the greatest killer of success. It stunts and destroys your brain.
3. You shouldn’t take advice from people who are not where you want to be in life.
4. No one is coming to save your problems. Your life’s 100% your responsibility.
5. You don’t need 100 self-help books, all you need is action and self discipline.
6. Unless you went to college to learn a specific skill (ie. doctor, engineer, lawyer), you can make more money in the next 90 days just learning sales.
No one cares about you. So stop being shy, go out and create your chances.
8. If you find someone smarter than you, work with them, don’t compete.
9. Smoking has 0 benefit in your life. This habit will only slow your thinking and lower your focus.
10. Comfort is the worst addiction and cheap ticket to depression.
11. Don’t tell people more than they need to know, respect your privacy.
12. Avoid alcohol at all cost. Nothing worse than losing your senses and acting a fool.
13. Keep your standards high and don’t settle for something because it’s available.
14. The family you create is more important than the family you come from.
15. Train yourself to take nothing personally to save yourself from 99.99% of mental problems.

I never signed up for this.
To have people my age, coming in the middle of the night, in a small borrowed sampan, asking for help. Swearing upon the name of God, upon the head of their son, that they will forever be indebted.
But even then, I cannot promise them anything. Somethings may be out of my hands. Somethings we can only advice and promise to try our best to support whichever decision they make. And sometimes, although logic dictates the best course of action clearly, not everything is easy to decide based on logic.
I told them, in the end, if I were in their shoes, I too would not know what the best decision would be. I can only promise to support my best whatever they decide on.
How does one decide whether to give ones flesh and blood up easily, against the known fact that keeping the baby would most probably mean hardship for the rest of his life. Whichever decision made…seems wrong somehow.
I didn’t sign up for this. But I am not walking away nor turning those who wash up on our shores away either. It isn’t easy this. Not for anyone. 40s Age Advice.
A reply from CEO of J.P. Morgan to a pretty girl seeking a rich husband. 40s Age Advice
A young and pretty lady posted this on a popular forum:
Title: What should I do to marry a rich guy?
- I’m going to be honest of what I’m going to say here.
- I’m 25 this year. I’m very pretty, have style and good taste.
- I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above.
You might say that I’m greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in New York.
My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary? Are you all married?
I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you?
Among those I’ve dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit.
If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York City Garden(?), $250k annual income is not enough.
I’m here humbly to ask a few questions:
1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym)
2) Which age group should I target?
3) Why most wives of the riches are only average-looking? I’ve met a few girls who don’t have looks and are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys.
4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend? (my target now is to get married)

A philosophical reply from CEO of J.P. Morgan:
Dear Ms. Pretty,
I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours. Please allow me to analyse your situation as a professional investor.
My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believes that I’m not wasting time here.
From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you. The answer is very simple, so let me explain.
Put the details aside, what you’re trying to do is an exchange of “beauty” and “money” : Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair and square.
However, there’s a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason. The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can’t be prettier year after year.
Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset. It’s not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worse 10 years later.
By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a “trading position”.
If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term – same goes with the marriage that you wanted. It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be sold or “leased”.
Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you. I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with $500k annual income.This has better chance than finding a rich fool.
Hope this reply helps.

J.P. Morgan CEO. 40s Age Advice.
