“You have to understand your own psychology. You have to understand that human beings weren't really designed to invest. We have all these emotions that are appropriate responses if you're being chased by a tiger, but they're terrible responses if you've got a 30-year time horizon to think about investment or when you're trying to manage investment over 30 years.” IfsThinkingTryingYearsHumansHuman BeingsEmotionPsychologyTerribleInvestmentResponseManageAppropriateHorizonTigers Author:William J.

“I guess it was this over-riding feeling I wanted people to get from the album - a kind of positivity. On the one hand it's quite a sad record, but I wanted the songs in essence to be about pulling yourself out of a difficult time. So I thought that the idea of day after a really long, difficult night, would be pretty appropriate... I think the album's about contrasts too - contrasts of emotion - so I thought the comparison was appropriate.” PeopleThinkingKindLongIdeasFeelingsHandsWould BeWantedNightSongDifficultEmotionRecordsEssenceAlbumsPositivityAppropriateComparisonContrastRidingPullingDifficult TimesReally Long Author:Sarah Blasko
