In real practice, diversification is a safe bet, but it takes much more wisdom and courage to bet heavily on one or two life-changing investments.”

2023年快乐十分开奖结果🔸Intros and Extros
By Sylvia C. Löhken
“I’ve read 2023年快乐十分开奖结果🔸Intros and Extros by Sylvia Lohken a couple of times. As Aristotle put it, ‘Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.’ This book nicely introduces the concepts of intros, extros, and centros, along with their strengths, interests, and obstacles in dealing with one another. It has provided me with a different angle to understand myself and other people, breaking the myths of introverts and has allowed me to recognise the value in how introverts and extroverts can complement each other on teams.”
