Since I've never read Seneca in any form that I know of, and since his wording is somewhat different, I still claim original authorship even if the sentiment is the same. Smart guy that Seneca, and I'm proud to share similar thoughts with him. :-) Regarding my second assertion that there are people who walk right by opportunity without recognizing it, and others who will not take the risk of picking up opportunity and running with it, I find no Google hits at all. Therefore your claim that I plagiarized Forbe's seems to be totally without merit and may rise to the level of defamation of character. Of course we've come to expect nothing less from you. |

Too bad you seem to have had trouble following their advice. They have a paid financial advisory service called "Forbes Special Situation Survey" which I highly recommend: https://www.forbes.com/newsletters/sss/ I've found it to be well worth the cost. |
