great philosophy

[Tim Y]

You owe it to yourself, if you have not already, to read Barach's Laughing in the Hills.

a quote:" Sometimes as I sat watching I wonder about the immerorial question, could the races be beaten. The answer was tough to swallow: YES, they could be, but never by me. I lacked the qualities necessary for success - dedication to the profit motive, a high tolerance for the drugery of daily handicapping and record keeping, a cold, emotionless eye, a tightly controlled system, an accountant's approach to cash flow and the cut throat maagerial attitude of a Harvard business scholl graduate."

And a remembrance to what the Taoists say about any venture: "If you mind is empty, it is always ready for anthing. In the beginner's mind ther are many possibilities, but in the experts, there are few."
