It's easier to be a millionaire than get six pack abs.

Quote from brokerboy:

so your a millionaire?

Just what I was thinking. By the Wall Street Journal standards, it's only 2.6% of U.S. households that are millionaires. So that adage that millionaires in this day and age are a dime a dozen is inaccurate. Of course, everyone on ET is a millionaire many times over.
 
So I think if you really want to become a millionaire, you should try to get six pack abs first, because if you can get the mindset to do that, then having the mindset to make a million bucks (in trading, real estate, or business) will be cake.

so true..i was thinking about that while ago..when i was jogging..similarities between body building(or simple six pack(it's no so f** simple to get one,specially after 30)) and rate of success in trading. ..same exact rule..around 5%..likely less..for all trading haters-get this trough you head..same rule apply to everything..not just trading..FUCKING LIFE in general..btw-i agree-for many-six pack would be easiest way to check themselves before trading...
 
Quote from R. Raskolnikov:

No matter how hard I try, I can never get six pack abs. I've always got 2 extra. Guess I'll settle for 8 pack abs. :D

:D :D :D Damn! i got the pack,but frigging little "love handles" ...
 
Flawed logic - you assume that the reason people don't have 6 pack abs is because it's too hard. Whereas the reason is that most people don't see much point in having them. The benefits to being a millionaire are significant. The benefits to having 6 pack abs are zero.

You should look at how many people are in shape, because that is a significant health, athletic, and aesthetic benefit. Whereas 6 pack abs don't improve your health, athleticism, and only improve your looks to those people who like it - and many people prefer a flat but soft-looking stomach.

Why work very hard to get something with little or no value?

with all due respect i have to disagree with you on that..you can't get there without being in shape in general. and being in shape in general-there is a plenty of value in it..money can't buy everything..they can't buy happiness,when YOU look at your self in the mirror...trading,exercise,business,politics,power-it's all about being on top..isn't?

Quote from peilthetraveler:

Just like being a millionaire, some people get a six pack without trying very hard(or at all). Others of us (like me) have to work our asses off to get it. :( I'm still at a 4 pack and having alot of trouble getting those last 2 packs to show up. (sometimes I wonder if they are even there!) haha. Been stuck at 10% body fat for a while so I cut out my soda(my last vice) a few weeks ago hoping that will tip the scales in my favor. :)

If it is getting the weight off skip. If it is shaping then do leg raises.
 
Quote from peilthetraveler:

So here are the statistics. 9% of the 118 million households in the US are millionaires. So if you are the head of a household, your odds of being a millionaire are about 1 in 10.

The number of Americans with 6 pack abs are 1 in 25,000.


Most people think becoming a millionaire would be way harder than exercising your way to a 6 pack, but when you think of what is involved, they are both pretty much the same. Getting to both requires sacrifice, dedication, and time. Both goals will have people trying to scam you into shortcuts too. (Get rich quick scemes vs tv infomercials selling ab rockers) Both goals at times will make you feel like you are not moving forward at some point and want to give up completely because "its not working"

So I think if you really want to become a millionaire, you should try to get six pack abs first, because if you can get the mindset to do that, then having the mindset to make a million bucks (in trading, real estate, or business) will be cake.
