Black Tuesday is best remembered for investors and consumers making a run on banks that could not service everyone, and banks failed often during the Great Depression, due to bad loans and a lack of public confidence.

Deutschs could have used those to fight against enemies. Unless we strictly pursue our profits, we can lose one way or another. Do you know what is the most common trait among all the losers? They waste time – probably, they throw away energy and money, too. While it doesn't mean we should work to ...
