sleicest 6th January 2019 No comments

What has flexibility got to do with options? Quite simply if you have more options, you have more flexibility. In uncertain situations, or if you are somehow keen to grow (wealth, skills, influence, reputation, character development), having options is valuable. Of course, having more options isn’t useful if you can’t make a decision when timeContinue Reading Real Options and Personal Flexibility

Handling Set-backs and Personal Flexibility

Roller coaster rides remain exciting because of their ups and downs. Ditto the stock market, alpine landscapes and city rooftops. Watching a loved one’s heart rhythm on a hospital heart monitor, is to hope for a steady pattern of highs and lows. Not a flat line.
