Musings.
Email from Kamalini Kanapathippillai:-
We seldom get what we want,
We seldom want what we get,
We seldom have what we like,
We seldom like what we have.
And still we live & love.
That's life...
The best kind of friend,
Is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with,
Never say a word,
And then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
It's true that we don't know
What we've got until it's gone,
But it's also true that we don't know
What we've been missing until it arrives..
Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back!
Don't expect love in return;
Just wait for it to grow in their heart,
But if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.
It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone,
An hour to like someone,
And a day to love someone,
But it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile,
Because it takes only a smile to
Make a dark day seem bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile!
May you have
Enough happiness to make you sweet,
Enough trials to make you strong,
Enough sorrow to keep you human,
And enough hope to make you happy.
Always put yourself in others' shoes.
If you feel that it hurts you,
It probably hurts the other person, too.
The happiest of people
Don't necessarily have the best of everything;
They just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
Happiness lies for
Those who cry,
Those who hurt,
Those who have searched,
And those who have tried,
For only they can appreciate the importance of people
Who have touched their lives.
When you were born, you were crying
And everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so that when you die,
You're the one who is smiling
And everyone around you is crying.
Please send this message
To those people who mean something to you,
To those who have touched your life in one way or another,
To those who make you smile when you really need it,
To those that make you see the brighter side of things When you are really down,
To those who you want to know
That you appreciate their friendship.
And if you don't, don't worry,
Nothing bad will happen to you,
You will just miss out on the opportunity
to brighten someone's life with this message...

'How Great Thou Art', a song from the heart.
email from Kamalini Kanapathippillai:-
This
little boy's performance of "How Great Thou Art" will leave you in
awe
This small fellow sings from his heart.
Capitalist thinking.
email from Kamalini Kanapathippillai.
This Pretty Girl Was Seeking A Rich
Husband. The Reply She Got From A Banker Was Priceless!
The
following is what a woman posted on a dating forum seeking a rich husband:
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.
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)
Ms. Pretty

A
philosophical reply from CEO of J.P. Morgan below:
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.

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.
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.
