Beware of poor man / woman desperate to be rich ! They are the most dangerous type of people.

I met a few. They are not like normal people. They are driven to a degree the normal guy or girl are not.

Epstein might have been such case.

Met a man whose parents were Jews.
When discussing something he would say.

"Yeah, This will take you to be a middle class people. But you will never have money."

We were all around late 20s. And the guy wasn't nether necessarily smarter than us nor hard working.

And I talking with my colleagues:

How Mayer wants to be rich, I don;t see him doing anything that points out that he will be rich like he wants to be.

Mayer died a year ago -my friends told me- He was not rich when he died

There was another one

TJ always come to mind when I remember Denilson. Another guy who wanted to be rich

The other one -same age as us- had a heart condition. Used to go every month to a specialist he trusted way out in the countryside.

The cardiologist was obviously a rich man. Had extensive property in the Amazon and want someone to go look if there was gold there

He wanted to go and do that prospecting.

Elmat (not the real name) you are smart guy. I get the money from the doctor. You join me.
Let's plan

Wht the hell are you and I going to do in the Amazon. We get malaria, We die.
The Indians will borduna us to death without even thinking a second.


This is how they use a borduna




Like you said. We explore. First we go and study.
Second trip we get what we go and we hire ex-soldier with experience in jungle warfare.

I said to him:
Think. You and I are urban techies! Why we risk this.
This is stuff for the peones who's got nothing to lose to go seek gold, and risk the Indian remove our heads as souvenir !

He said to me:
I want to be rich. I have invested in real estate I have a couple of gas stations.
Pretty soon I don't need this job.

and me
So? You're doing well investing all your savings.

and him:

I want to be rich. I want to have lots of money.
