...high-minded moral and scientific principles in order to pursue and achieve the highest possible standards of excellence, generosity and tolerance. This can only occur through consistent magnanimity, the equitable sharing of knowledge and the maintenance of stable financial markets.
However lofty you may consider my own words to be, do bear in mind that bulls and bullies are unlikely to be found within my little Adelaidean villa, whatever the market trend will be in the year ahead. The Australian economy will rely on courtesy, reliability, trustworthiness and clear communication if it is to weather the global economic storms, international legislative and diplomatic obstacles, and various examples of domineering unpleasantness. Yet there is nothing new about the challenges ahead.
Unfairly privileged persons must display more enlightened nobility than they have in the past, whatever their national origins or current location. The same applies to persons of ordinary social and economic standing, including those with aristocratic or proletarian ancestors. There is no place in the 21st century for any form of interpersonal disrespect, anywhere in the world.
Noble minds always prefer to invest in the causes of stability, peace and tranquility rather than supporting unsustainable economic growth, unpleasant financial downturns, piracy, plagiarism, populism, elitism or an emotive sense of entitlement. Stability requires an understanding of limitations, needs, challenges and possibilities.
Unenlightened persons never truly invest, and rarely possess nobility. As such persons are inclined to speculate and manipulate, they fail to see that there is no nobility in bossiness, aggressiveness, coarseness, arrogance, insensitivity, brashness, abusiveness, rudeness, boorishness, greed, vulgarity, excessively loud motors and excessively loud music.
Speculation and manipulation are particularly devoid of nobility in a bull market or a ghost city. Perhaps there will be some interesting times ahead.
