Thanksgiving being thankful or grateful results in more to be thankful for.

In my 45-year career as an investment counselor, humility did show me the need for worldwide diversification to reduce risk. That career did help me to become more and more humble because statistics showed that when I advised a client to buy one stock to replace another, about one-third of the time the client would have done better to ignore my advice. In other endeavors, humility about how little I know has encouraged me to listen more carefully and more wisely.

Diversify your investments.

Surprising and interesting things happen to those who keep their eyes and their minds open and alert!

If you are curious as to what your future may hold, you can look into a mirror. What is reflecting back? Does a sparkle in your eyes indicate excitement about new adventures and opportunities? Does a smile on your lips portray an inner happiness and abundant goodwill towards others?

If you want to have a better performance than the crowd, you must do things differently from the crowd.

Self-improvement comes mainly from trying to help others.
