He's Just Keepin' It Real For Y'all
"Now the commencement speakers will typically also wish you good luck
and extend good wishes to you. I will not do that, and I’ll tell you
why. From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated
unfairly, so that you will come to know the value of justice. I hope
that you will suffer betrayal because that will teach you the importance
of loyalty. Sorry to say, but I hope you will be lonely from time to
time so that you don’t take friends for granted. I wish you bad luck,
again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of
chance in life and understand that your success is not completely
deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved
either. And when you lose, as you will from time to time, I hope every
now and then, your opponent will gloat over your failure. It is a way
for you to understand the importance of sportsmanship. I hope you’ll be
ignored so you know the importance of listening to others, and I hope
you will have just enough pain to learn compassion. Whether I wish these
things or not, they’re going to happen. And whether you benefit from
them or not will depend upon your ability to see the message in your
misfortunes."

Inside A Piece Of Heave On Earth
The Honda Collection Hall Is A Salute To Ingenuity And Dreams
For the ¥1000 entry fee (about $8.75 U.S.) you can enter the Motegi Twin Ring complex, but admission into the Honda Collection Hall is free. The staff at the entrance gate will show you a map on how to get to the Collection Hall from the gate, but basically you drive two-thirds of the Twin Ring to get there. As far as museum visits go, it was one of the most special and unique.
Due
to its distance from basically everything, the Honda Collection Hall is
never too busy. From the outside it’s an unassuming grey building, but
once you get inside it’s Honda heaven. You’re greeted by a glass
sculpture with Soichiro Honda’s famous “Dream” motto written on it.

This Restaurants Closure Saddens Me
Landry’s Seafood House Shutters on the Westside
Even more changes for the local Landry’s empire
Even those who never dined at Landry’s Seafood House can’t miss the neon signage facing its more famous neighbor, Palace Station resort. Self-described as the “flagship restaurant” concept in the Landry's Inc. portfolio and despite years of service, the steak and seafood restaurant has now shuttered on Sahara Avenue.

Self-described as the “flagship restaurant” concept in the Landry's Inc. portfolio and despite years of service, the steak and seafood restaurant has now shuttered on Sahara Avenue.
A replacement for the substantial restaurant space has not been announced.
The closure follows a series of local overhauls by the corporation. Both locations of Joe’s Crab Shack have now shuttered, less than two months after the chain was acquired by Landry’s. And McCormick & Schmick’s vanished at the Hughes Center in September, to be quickly replaced by moving another of its restaurants, Claim Jumper, over from Town Square.

Some Damn Good Financial Questions
I'm a financial planner — here are the 7 questions my richest clients ask
Do I really have enough?
No matter the size of their nest eggs, the rich worry about having enough money to get through old age while also leaving a legacy behind. They worry about the future costs of nursing home care, whether their life insurance policies are sufficient (and aligned with their financial goals), about inflation, and how the world might change in the next ten, twenty, or thirty years.
How do I preserve capital?
If you're young and an average earner, many financial professionals would advise you to dial up your level of risk — especially in the stock market — to help grow early wealth that will compound over time. But what if you're already rich? What if you've been working decades and want to continue growing wealth without putting too much on the line?
A lot of my clients think just as much about preserving capital as they do about growing it. They already know how to make money, but they worry endlessly over how to keep it.
In these cases, I help them preserve their cash with an array of financial products that can include high-interest savings accounts, municipal bonds, Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, and sometimes even annuities. Of course, the right strategy for every rich family is different and depends on an array of factors including their ages, how much wealth they have, and how long they need it to last.
