The marketplace isn’t fair

It may be unfair, but it is predictable:

• Memento mori: Latin for “You too are mortal; you too shall die.” What you’re experiencing now won’t last forever, for better or for worse, so we should be sure to…
• Prepare for the ups and downs: Because they’re both coming. The marketplace rewards those who are ready. That lets us be on…
• The right side of unfair: i.e. “The winning side.” We don’t get there by wanting or toiling… unless those wants become action, and our toil remembers Memento mori.

Nature gave us an unfair marketplace that–in its irony–gives us all an equal opportunity to produce meaningful work that makes an impact.
