“Intriguing. Illuminating. An investing primer on some of the most notable role on Maui. Anyone who has been on the island 24 hours will find this a handy guide. Maui Time Weekly
I could not put it down.
John T., Maui Friends of the Library.”
“Intriguing isn't it? One day you are the king of your world. And the next day, you stand aside, watching it all burn. Ashes slipping out of your hand, you just stand and stare, your glassy gaze fixed on something no one else could see, no one else could know...
People will talk as people do talk. And they will walk over the ashes. And the ashes will dance in front of you, reminding you every second of what was and what might have been. And you will almost give in.
But my advice is, don’t give in. Because one day, you will decide to turn the corner. Put it all behind you. Just stand strong and still as the great wind comes and takes all the ashes away with with it, leaving fresh air behind. Fresh for you to make a new world, a better world.”
“Intriguingly, in poll after poll, when Americans are asked what public institutions they most respect, three bodies are always at the top of their list: the Supreme Court, the armed forces, and the Federal Reserve System. All three have one thing in common: they are insulated from the public pressures and operate undemocratically. It would seem that Americans admire these institutions, precisely because they lead rather than follow.”

“Intrinsic security doesn't come from what other people think of us or how they treat us. It doesn't come from our circumstance or out position. It comes from within. It comes from accurate paradigms and correct principles deep in our own mind and heart. It comes from inside-out congruence, from living a life of integrity in which our daily habits reflect our deepest values.”

“Intrinsic Value Calculations for Stocks are only for a selected few. It is boring, mundane hard work.
For everyone else who wants to make money, there is the 'Greater Fool Theory', and it also works remarkably well in the real world.
You may not believe it, but there always exists a bigger or greater fool willing to pay a higher price.”

“Intrinsic value can be defined simply: It is the discounted value of the cash that can be taken out of a business during its remaining life.”

“Intrinsic value can be defined simply: It is the discounted value of the cash that can be taken out of a business during its remaining life. The calculation of intrinsic value, though, is not so simple. As our definition suggests, intrinsic value is an estimate rather than a precise figure, and it is additionally an estimate that must be changed if interest rates move or forecasts of future cash flows are revised.”

“Intrinsic value follows meaning follows form follows economics follows function follows more economics follows market research.”
“Intrinsic value is not measured by how much money you make,

“Introducing a great artist, Alexander Wainwright in THe Fate of Pryde.
In his landscapes, Alex expresses the totality of everything in the universe. At the same time, within each leaf, each drop of water or human hair, he conveys a light or glow, which seems to come—how shall I put this—from another dimension. And each brushstroke contains every ounce of his own life and vitality.

“Introducing a spelling test to a student by saying, 'Let's see how many words you know,' is different from saying, 'Let's see how many words you know already.' It is only one word, but the already suggests that any words the child knows are ahead of expectation and, most important, that there is nothing permanent about what is known and not known.”
“Introducing a technology is not a neutral act--it is profoundly revolutionary. If you present a new technology to the world you are effectively legislating a change in the way we all live. You are changing society, not some vague democratic process. The individuals who are driven to use that technology by the disparities of wealth and power it creates do not have a real choice in the matter. So the idea that we are giving people more freedom by developing technologies and then simply making them available is a dangerous illusion.”

“Introduction
Money isn’t just about numbers—it’s about behavior. That’s the core message of The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel, a bestselling book that dives deep into the emotional, irrational, and surprisingly human side of personal finance.
Whether you're an investor, advisor, or someone simply trying to make better money decisions, this book delivers timeless lessons that go far beyond market strategies.
What The Psychology of Money Teaches Us
Morgan Housel’s writing is simple yet powerful. Instead of complex charts or technical jargon, he uses stories and examples to show how psychology drives financial success more than intelligence does.
Here are a few standout lessons from the book:
1. Wealth is What You Don’t See
People often show off what they spend, but true wealth is built by what you don’t. Housel reminds us that saving and living below your means creates real freedom.
2. Compounding is Magic
One of the most powerful forces in investing is time, not timing. Letting your money grow slowly and steadily—like Warren Buffett did—is more powerful than chasing quick wins.
3. Luck & Risk Are Real
Success in investing isn’t always due to brilliance; luck plays a part. Similarly, failure doesn’t always mean bad choices. Understanding this makes us more humble and grounded.
4. You Don’t Need to Win Big to Win
Building wealth doesn't require genius or perfect timing. What matters most is consistency, patience, and a strategy you can stick with for decades.
5. Freedom is the Ultimate Goal
At the heart of all money goals is one thing: control over your time. Money is a tool—not for flashy things, but for buying back your time and choosing how you want to live.
Applying Housel's Ideas in Real Life
Reading is one thing. Applying these principles is where the real value lies.
That’s where platforms like AssetPlus come in.
✅ Want to help others start early?
✅ Want to promote consistent SIPs over speculation?
✅ Want to build long-term relationships based on trust, not market hype?

Offer long-term investment products simply
Track SIPs and AUM for steady trail income
Build a behavior-focused investment journey with clients
Final Thought
Morgan Housel’s The Psychology of Money is more than a finance book—it’s a mirror. It forces us to think about why we spend, save, and invest the way we do.
And if you're someone helping others do the same, AssetPlus is your perfect companion—a smart, digital-first platform that helps you turn timeless money lessons into real-world action.”
“Introduction of rational standards to differentiate between acceptable and unacceptable forms of drug related conduct allows us to hold drug users fully accountable for any harm resulting from irresponsible, stupid or ‘anti-social’ drug use in a manner consistent with current alcohol and tobacco policies, and more importantly, in a manner consistent with our commitment to the principles of liberty, freedom of choice and so on.”

Forward
It is rare today to find Christians who are in love with doing the Lord's service. Many would sit to the side and let others bush-wack the path, but Bryan has always been the one who delights in making the way clear for others. His determination, commitment to producing these writings was encouraging to watch come to fruition. Take time now see for yourself how God is directing these works to provide something sincere, pure, innocent for families to enjoy. A pleasant respite from a sin-sick world. So, please, feel free to find a quiet place today and enjoy them alone or with your family. This body of work calls upon us to take time to be holy. I believe with all my heart that this is the authors intent, the Lord's plan, my hearts prayer that they bless you as much as they have blessed me. May God bless the time and energies sacrificed by the author in its production. Sincerely in Christ, Michael Lawrence.
When writing with Shirley Dye on messenger about editing the book, she commented that this book would be a blessing to many people. That is my solemn humble prayer.

“Introduction To Poetry I ask them to take a poem and hold it up to the light like a color slide or press an ear against its hive. I say drop a mouse into a poem and watch him probe his way out, or walk inside the poem's room and feel the walls for a light switch. I want them to waterski across the surface of a poem waving at the author's name on the shore. But all they want to do is tie the poem to a chair with rope and torture a confession out of it. They begin beating it with a hose to find out what it really means.”

“INTROSPECTION AND INSANITY: A GODELIAN PROBLEM
I think it can have suggestive value to translate Godel's Theorem into other domains, provided one specifies in advance that the translations are metaphorical and are not intended to be taken literally. That having been said, I see two major ways of using analogies to connect Godel's Theorem and human thoughts. One involves the problem of wondering about one's sanity. How can you figure out if you are sane? This is a Strange Loop indeed. Once you begin to question your own sanity, you can get trapped in an ever-tighter vortex of self-fulfilling prophecies, though the process is by no means inevitable. Everyone knows that the insane interpret the world via their own peculiarly consistent logic; how can you tell if your own logic is 'peculiar' or not, given that you have only your own logic to judge itself? I don't see any answer. I am just reminded of Godel's second Theorem, which implies that the only versions of formal number theory which assert their own consistency are inconsistent...”
“Introspection and preserved writings give us far more insight into the ways of past humans than we have into the ways of past dinosaurs. For that reason, I'm optimistic that we can eventually arrive at convincing explanations for these broadest patterns of human history.”
“Introspection can easily become the tool of Satan, who is called the accuser. One of his chief weapons is discouragement. He knows that if he can make us discouraged and dispirited we will not fight the battle for holiness.”

“Introspection is a devouring monster. You have to feed it with much material, much experience, many people, many places, many loves, many creations, and then it ceases feeding on you.”
“Introspection is a form of self-management. You reflect. You decide. You change. You allow yourself to grow.”

“Introspection is painful. We are good at lying to ourselves. Being honest, even when it is just inside our head activates painful realizations and memories. It takes an enormous amount of energy to deal with all this. We usually tend to avoid it.”

“Introspection is self-improvement and therefore introspection is self-centeredness. Awareness is not self-improvement. On the contrary, it is the ending of the self, of the “I,” with all its peculiar idiosyncrasies, memories, demands, and pursuits. In introspection there is identification and condemnation. In awareness there is no condemnation or identification; therefore, there is no self-improvement. There is a vast difference between the two.”

“Introspective souls are often tormented by their passionate visions. This is because visionaries see what shall be and wake up to what is. However, if you couldn't see a glimpse of the city lights while stranded in the forest, how would you ever know to walk in that direction? Sometimes, your vision can't be put into action, until you gather the learning experiences, along your journey first.”
