      You clearly weren’t paying attention then. He clearly summed it up at the end. Don’t assume just because you’re successful that it was because you were brilliant. Look at the reasons behind your success, not just your failures, so that you have the skepticism to see the actual truth and not just “oh we must be doing everything right. If we just keep doing this, we’ll continue to be successful” There are so many factors in business that contribute to success…not all of which you can control.

      @Nebulana the logic is sound given the soccer league example; but Nokia didn’t share a similar profile with one off winning soccer team. Also the mobile phone biz has tons of product during Nokias prime time so it’s hardly a “low score” game where a large sample variance applies. What he described had little to do with the question he posed.

    This is so crucial in business and with sports teams. Many people….especially rich men, can incorrectly associate themselves for the reason things are a success.

    The true leaders and experts can separate that idea and realize it can a big wave and they are riding it! 🏄‍♂️

      Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others, nothing beats experience and that’s final, personally I had to reach out to MR. KORDUCKI for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account. Good earnings and little to no engagement at all on my part.

      @John Cris @Patrick Hollywood dear brother, no one is reedemed by his deeds, no one is without sin in front of god, and literaly no one will be in heavens because the good deeds taht they ve id, each and everysingle one of the people who will be in heavens , its because gods grace, and jesuses shatered blood, equaly ,for everyone! redemption is free, its up to us as we have free will, if we grab his loving hand or not! all you have to do is sincerly feel sorry, want to cutloose with the fake one, and have faith, FAITH is whats all about, if you believe, jesuses blood saved you, and youre being coopereative with the holy spirit, you will be in heavens! another thing, its not us who can do something as i sayed we are powerless, but oure faith is the conection to the holy spirt, tru faithfull prayers, and besides the prayers, god let us the bigest jolly joker posible, the BIBLE,! the bible is not a book ,its goods word, its literaly a sword against evil! everything you need to be set free to find back the meaning,: hope,joy,wisdom, love forgiveness, streght,shelter, guidance, literaly everything worthfull and what matters is there! its an unfatimable river of streght and guidance from above! the only thing is when you read the bible ,to be aware that is not just a book, but is gods private line to the siners ,along with prayers! so always before you read the bible , pray, for then holy spirit to reveal you ,what you need to hear! another thing, when people think at the bible they think, its a big book that they will never finish, its completly wrong, when it comes to bible its not about quuantity, its about quality! so dont even thinki you have to read much of it, not at all, ! read slowly and mediate at what you are reading, . see even if you ve read the same verse or chapter 100 times, buyt you sincerly and in an unshalow maner want to meet with god, for guidance and streght, you read the same thing 101 th , time it will always reveal you somegthing new, something you didnt understood, last time! another thing under the verses youl see a small writing, those are sendings, if you dont understand something, or you need more clarification, go to a sending , or even 2, thatsn how you shoul read the bible dive into gods word! those sendings are either same thing under diferent circumsyance or some similarity to what you read! i know it may sound, hard boring ,or useless, but i asure you is anything but! the key to it ,is realising its not a novel ,is gods word, theres no biger treasure than that, ! if you pray faithfully and you sincerly want to hear god, look no further is there! its all about you wanting to chanege, and having faith! i sugest you start with the new testament, from Mathew, but you can start with genesis to, its not a wrong or right way to read the bible, al its required is to pray before, and let god talk to you! its absolutely mandatory, satan infiltred everything, especialy the churches! for exemple the 4th coamndent: keep my sabaths, thatsb SATURDAY not sunday, exactuly that will be the 666 sign-worshiping sunday will be a decret! another huge decives , wich satan harvest huge , is the idea that the spirit lives aftelife, theres no such thing, death is like a 1 second sleeep, Eclesiast 9:4,5″the man who died no longer knows anything, hes dreams, hes wrath are long gone, he doesnt know anything hapning under the sun anymore, even his name is forgotten” see satans lies are everywerr, ;like the purgatory idea, it depicts god as cruel, and jesuses sacrifice as insuficnet, plus it lies that you can sin plenty, as the popoe will cleans you by confessions, and in the end after all that burning, youl be clean! or comandmnts 1 and 2″i am youre god … do not have other gods… do not give prayse or worship anything else than me, dont bow and dont make lokalikes of anything in heavesn earth or seas…” its full(the pope, crucifixes, countles saints, paintings of maryu and the babay, ceremonyes ,opulence and what not! see devil infiltratted everything, thats why you need a persoanl conection to god true the holy spirot, so you can tell satans decive from what god wants! and you can only achieve that by prayings and bible study! the biger the rank in eveerything, but sadly churches, the more the decive..(as i told you the sign 666 will be keoing sunday) take daily time for god, and when you hear him revealing what and how, listen to god, not the priest, or the comforting majority! and always praysse one for eachoters, praying to a piece of wood , has no power, praying one for eachoter has, its actualy a task and a blessing at once,! youl find the ten comandnts in exodus 20! il keep you all in my prayers, do asweel! god bless you and youre loved ones!
