Ok, you usually go on about penguins in reference to how they go to work each day and earn a wage, or something similar. Where as you invested, built equity and bought a business for your income.
I probably haven't explained the penguin reference clearly enough.
It's in reference to things that all we humans do as a general group, which are not what you'd call sensible thinking, rational etc, yet we see many examples of it every day...after day, after day.
Like the penguins which take 30 or 40 goes at walking out of the surf at dusk - something they do every singe day of their lives...
Now, in the human instance, I'd put into this same category things like smoking, eating tons of Maccas, lining up in the bank on Thurs between 9.30 and 11.00 when there is no need to ever do it.
Stuff like that.
The difference is humans should have the intelligence to stand back, observe the behavior and say; "hang on; this is stupid; I'm not gunna do it like everyone else does".
That's what I'm referring to with yer penguin behaviour.
As for me; yes, I do lots of stuff yer normal person does, but I would hope that I don't succumb to the non-sensible stuff that can be avoided.
Stuff like; living 1.5 hour drive from work, sitting in that traffic year in and year out, hating it.
It's insane; move to a better location, or change jobs. Anyway, it's their choice; I don't care - I just comment on it; I find it intriguing.
You say I'm a conformist. Would you consider investing, building equity and buying a business the majority activity of people? How many people do we all know that have IP's, or run a business that employs staff? Not that many.
Not that it is any big deal, and I don't think I'm special or better. I'm illustrating that being involved in just those two activities makes you different from most - good or bad.
With the Commodore; it's not a normal one, but I don't advertise it. It's an HSV R8. Not yer everyday model. But you brought it up.
