China created the subprime crisis
An interesting aspect of the subprime crisis is that its difficult to point a finger at one event, reason, person, institution or decision. A number of reasons have been cited for the cause of the crisis, however, China’s pegging of the foreign currency has rarely been mentioned as a major cause.
The dollar was pegged to the renmenbei at an artificially low level. This incentivized a surge...

A crucial part of my development was that I made a choice that I would rather be too aggressive than not aggressive enough. I decided I would accept the consequences of being too aggressive, but I would never accept thinking about “what might have been” as a result of being too passive.

Why India survived the Economic Crisis
The country has weathered the economic crisis better than most countries because the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) insists on a more hands-on approach and was not afraid to implement strict regulations during the boom years. This is in stark contrast to the U.S. Federal Reserve which tends to be more reactive instead of proactive with new regulations. The differences in approach helps explain why...
Power Status Confidence
Men view shopping as a transaction, women view it as an experience ( except in best buy)
Be whom you’re meant to be. You have to ask and find that answer. In your mind you don’t see yourself as a fat ass watching TV, but someone who has women in your life. You can see it and know that God didn’t put you on this Earth to not have women or good people in your life. You know truly that you must take action and do the steps to be the person that you *know* you should be....

Narcissism
As children we pass through a narcissistic phase which is immensely pleasurable. Happily self contained and self involved we have little need for other people. Then slowly we are socialized and taught to pay attention to others, but we secretly yearn for those early days.
There is nothing less natural than seeming...
Sometimes resistance is another way of saying - please seduce me. Cleopatra and Marilyn Monroe the 2 most seductive women that ever existed, did not have good faces. Anything that cannot be easily understood is supremely seductive. Especially if it permeates your manner. Make them feel like she is the only one u live for…by showing them a feeling of weakness towards her. The woman wants...

Without doubt. I remember the phase in the 80s when we were all very excited as if India’s time in the sun had come. Rajiv Gandhi was talked about as the next Kennedy and sure enough there was a lot of optimism in India and it derailed quickly because policy didn’t keep pace with aspiration. And the last five years in many ways have been interesting and if you look at this period where literally...
