Frank Lucas, the black drug lord who ruled Harlem in the 1970s, was so discreet that the police didn't know who he was in 1971 when he decided to wear a $100,000 full-length chinchilla coat — to a Muhammad Ali boxing match.
He later wrote that this was a “massive mistake.
Apparently, Lucas’s coat caught the eye of law enforcement — who were surprised that he had better seats than Diana Ross and Frank Sinatra.
As Lucas put it: “I left that fight a marked man.”

We often discuss the time value of money. But why do we never talk about the time value of life?
In life, just as in finance, there exists a concept known as the time value of money. This principle teaches us that money in hand today is more valuable than the same amount in the future, thanks to its potential to grow. But what if we applied this notion not to currency, but to our very existence?
Consider the years of youth as a unique form of currency. When we're young, we possess a wealth of health, energy, and potential experiences. These years are akin to having a valuable asset with tremendous growth potential. Just like money invested wisely can yield great returns, investing in experiences, happiness, and personal growth during our younger years can lead to a richer and more fulfilling life.
Here's the connection: Much like money is more valuable in the present due to its earning potential, our early years become more precious because they offer the chance to build a life filled with memories, relationships, and personal achievements. And those experiences are more powerful and enjoyable when we are young. It's a reminder that the quality of life we enjoy when we're older can be greatly influenced by the investments we make in our youth and that we may not have as positive an experience as we age.
So, seize the day, embark on adventures, cultivate meaningful connections, and chase happiness passionately in your younger years. You never know what life has in store for you, but by investing wisely in your present, you're setting the stage for a future that's rich in value and fulfillment.
