Wanting to build my own company in the future. Hoping I will find the perfect woman to marry. Planning to have a healthy family. Hoping to be fortunate to be surrounded by a few good friends.

Luxury goods used to be better. Better than the alternatives. The best-made clothing, the best saddle, the most reliable luggage. The top of the market was the place people who cared needed to go to buy something that had the highest performance. Today, though, a Toyota is a better car than a Bentley. More efficient, more reliable. The Vertus phone was a joke, and no one needs a $200 mouse when a $9 one is faster and easier to use.
