That's not terribly fair Nick. Perhaps you didn't know but Eddie came here as an immigrant and had to start from the bottom up later in life and did so very quickly. I have great respect for first generation immigrants who come here and contribute to the capitalist system.
He is right about fear too. There's a reason many people are afraid of heights - it's lethal.
I would like to say one other thing in general too. None of us is in a race. I'm 33 and will retire next year. So what. That just means I have a portfolio to maintain and other things to fill my time with and other means of growing myself and my investments. Success is not final so there is no goal at which we stop. The only goal that matters are the ones you make that progress you to the next stage. When you stop breathing is when you stop pursuing success.
