From Dr. Bill Delglish (Raging Bell): By: Bill_Dalglish Reply To: None Saturday, 25 Dec 1999 at 3:49 PM EST Post # of 22966 To All There is something very special about this Raging Bull IDC board that I have found no where else. On this Christmas Day (The first of the "Twelve Days of Christmas - lots more of Christmas left - no need to stuff all the wonders of Christmas into this 24 hours), I'm very grateful for the regulars here and the great newcomers who are joining our special IDC community by lurking and posting here. Jim Lurgio did us an immense favor when he encouraged us to move over here from Yahoo over a year ago. That leadership is a very important factor in our great success. Before long (if not already) there will be some very wealthy folks here. Christmas Day is a good opportunity to realize that the wealth that comes our way is, like all of creation, simply entrusted to our care by our Creator, who expects us to use that wealth to accomplish what our Creator has in mind. When I met for a regular visit with my spiritual advisor (an ordained minister and PhD in psychology) a couple of days ago, he had two pieces of advice I'd like to pass along on this Christmas Day: 1. He said it would be a powerful witness if people saw that I wasn't throwing money away on new toys for myself - but was looking for ways to truly make a difference in life. Its the knowledge that one "made a difference" that is most satisfying at the end of one's life, not having lots and lots of toys and other stuff. 2. This spiritual advisor/psychologist also reminded me that just because I've done very well with my IDC investment doesn't guarantee my continuing to do well. He said he's seen many folks do their homework (DD), make an excellent investment, then forget what it took to make that good investment (lots of homework) and jump into something else and lose all they had made. Thanks again to all here - just for being who you are, and sharing that with me! Have a wonderful TWELVE days of Christmas! Bill PS If this sounds a little preachy, that's because it is. Many of you know that I am an Episcopal priest as well as a certified financial planner; an unusual, but greatly fulfilling combination.
