Take control of your own destiny
The recent economic difficulties experienced by the EU countries, the USA and others throughout the world have been well documented and will continue. It will see many normal people lose their jobs and possibly their homes through no fault of their own. Meanwhile, the bankers and so called financial experts who caused the problem will continue to live in their large mansions and continue with their affluent lifestyles. The very few individuals who were deemed responsible and sacked were given multi-million pound severance deals. They will not starve.
Over the years the financial sector has, on the whole, been very successful at using our money to make more money. The people involved were shrewd, sophisticated investors who were very good at assessing and managing risk. This strategy can still be successful in the future if it is managed correctly. The economic problems were caused by arrogant individuals who became over confident and took unnecessary risks with our money.
We cannot depend on big companies or the state to look after our welfare anymore. We should all take control of our own destiny, copy these methods and use money to make money. We will all need to increase our financial education and learn how to manage risk but the financial rewards will be much greater than working nine to five.
There is no difference between investing on the stock market and gambling using more traditional outlets such as bookmakers and casinos. You must be a sophisticated investor by assessing and managing the risk and the easiest way to do this is to use one of the many available systems and stick to it rigidly
I recommend the use of on-line casinos because there are so many advantages. You can play when you want from the comfort of your own home. You can practise for free and play for very small stakes. Nobody can see you and you can take as much time as you like.
Every on-line casino will have a bonus system and I strongly recommend that you use it. Deposit $100 and they will (at least) double it. You have made a profit of $100 before you even start.
Practise until you are ready, then when you are play for very small stakes. Remember this is gambling. Do not commit any money that you cannot afford to lose
Every casino has an acceptable daily loss and you should help yourself to some of it. Don't be too greedy though. Do not draw attention to yourself. The casino owners are intelligent people and they will see what you're doing and you might get banned. Share your winnings between a few casinos and in this way remain inconspicuous.

For Once in Your Life
For once in your life, why don't you do something positive for a change.
Far too many of us waste time on negative activities such as moaning, whinging, excessive drinking, smoking and even taking drugs. We often use stress or our poor lot in life as justification but deep down we all know that this is not good enough.
Why don't you participate in a positive activity? RIGHT NOW.
You could go for a walk on the fresh air. Better still, go somewhere nice (like the countryside, near the sea or to a famous oudoor landmark) and go for a walk in the fresh air.
You could visit your local library, choose a book that appeals to you and read it.
Why not get in touch with some old friends, arrange to meet, catch up and reminsce
Take up a new activity. What about golf? It is enjoyable, good exercise (carry your clubs) readily available for most people and is a great way to make new friends.
Do some work for charity. There are thousands of good causes in the world and they all need volunteers.
I recommend cycling. It is cheap, enjoyable, good exercise, readily available and there are thousands of miles of suitable paths to explore, often alongside rivers and canals. I particularly recommend cycling along some of the paths which were created from disused railway lines which can be found everywhere. On a summers day you can even enjoy a well earned drink in one of the many pubs you will find (often called The Railway, for obvious reasons) along the way.
Learn a foreign language, join a dance class, take up pottery, set up a website or do some DIY. There must be something you'd like to try.
Whatever it is, I promise you will enjoy it, feel better for it and it will make a pleasant change from incessant whinging and whining.
DO IT NOW.
GO ON.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

Australian Short Stories - (Mary) Valleys Senior Rugby League Team 1935
Before the 1939-45 war there were four football teams playing in the Gympie competition. One of these was Valleys, a team as the name suggests selected from the town ships of the Mary Valley.
My brothers Kev and Bert played, and as well as being captain of Valleys, Kev was captain of the Gympie representative team. Roads weren't crash hot back in the 1930's, there was no bitumen on the roads in the Valley and getting to the venue where the match was played was quite a chore.
Traffic on the road stirred up clouds of dust. It was almost impossible to pass a vehicle in front, as it was hard to see for dust, and if you followed too closely, you were smothered in the stuff.
One of the players, Frank Jocumsen had a cream run and picked up cream from farmers between Imbil and Gympie. The cream was delivered to the Gympie Butter factory on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays of each week. His truck was large for the times, about seven ton capacity with a canvas hood over the back to keep the cream cool. It was also a great way to transport the team to the playing venue on Sunday.
There was one snag, the back of the truck got splashed with cream, and by the end of the week, as may be imagined, was very smelly indeed. My role model Kev, volunteered me to clean the back of the truck, and every Saturday during football season Frank would bring it to the back of our house to have it cleaned. I was only seven or eight years old when I inherited the job and I can tell you it was no sinecure.
No hoses at the time, just many buckets of water, carried from the tank some distance away, soap and a broom, and some hard work. It was also my job to clean Kev's football boots and they weren't considered clean if you couldn't see your face in them.
All the Valley towns got behind their team and expected them to win every game. The interest and effort was so great that Jack Lutton who owned the sawmill in Imbil was reputed to have said production at his mill dropped considerably on Mondays and Fridays.
Fridays, because his employees, and there were several in the team; put in most of the day talking about how they would play Sunday's game, and after the game on Sunday they were too sore to work properly on Monday.
