Do not be fooled into believing that because a man is rich he is necessarily smart. There is ample proof to the contrary.

Early in my business career I learned the folly of worrying about anything. I have always worked as hard as I could, but when a thing went wrong and could not be righted, I dismissed it from my mind.

Adopting a contrary outlook when necessary is not wrong it's smart.

If you're THAT smart...why aren't you THAT rich?

Why are so many very smart people not also rich? I guess they are too busy calculating risks rather than getting into action.
