For some reason, most people fail to realise that there is just as much money to be made from the destruction of civilisation as there is from its creation.

Rhett Butler.

To become a billionaire you need first of all good luck, a considerable dose of knowledge, tremendous capacity for work - I emphasize HUGE - but most importantly and most importantly you have to have a billionaire mentality. Billionaire mentality is a state of mind in which you focus all your knowledge, all your skills, all your skills on achieving your goal. It is something that will change you.

"Imagine a stranger comes to your garage and tries to sell an automatic system to control your car. Pay just a few hundred dollars for a computer chip, install it in your car and stop wasting energy steering, he says.

You'll be able to take a nap in the driver's seat while the Nimble Steer takes you to work. Chances are, you'll laugh in such a salesman's face. But would you laugh if he offered you an automated system for a stock market game?

Gamblers who believe in the myth of autopilot believe that the pursuit of wealth can be automated. Some try to develop an automated gambling system themselves, while others buy it from specialists. People who have spent years honing their skills as lawyers, doctors or businessmen

are shelling out thousands of dollars for canned competence. They are driven by greed, laziness and mathematical illiteracy...". (c) A. Elder "How to play and win at the stock exchange".
