Not
everything that counts can be counted. Investment is not a game you play where
Risk and Return are knowable and the only two items on the scoreboard. What you
do genuinely matters. Fundamentally. It’s not a game. My biggest quibble with wealth
creation is the illusion of control and associated arrogance that can arise in
people who have “done well”. Like the TV series Westworld where the penny
drops about “what are we actually doing here?”, it is easy for us to get fooled
by randomness. To see patterns we want to see. To get lost in our own
illusions. At times of major crisis, you need to look beyond the numbers. What
really matters? What is a distraction? What is the core that will allow you to
rebuild? What are you building and why? Throw away the stop watch. The time
sheets. The productivity measures. Time and opportunity cost lose their power. Repurpose
to meet the challenge.
