Using common sense and keeping habits

April 21st, 2007 | by |

I saw a National Geographic show on people being attacked by animals in the woods. All the people had no weapons to fend off the animals.

Why?

The same reason why people think they will never be a victim of crime. No common sense.

I remember I went fishing in the remote wilderness in Canada when the steelhead trout were running. The lodge equipped the fly fishermen with a cowbell on the back of our vests. I said, “Why the bell ?”. They said it was to ward off the Grizzly bear in the area. I immediately got back in the boat and said no thanks.

You have to think of all the possibilities and go from there. They say analysis can cause paralysis, but there is a level of common sense that all should use. The same goes for investing in MLM schemes, hedge fund high returns, get rich quick schemes in the internet - you get the message.

Nothing is easy and everything requires work.
