I want to be in third place(making millions)

It seems that a new aproach in the market is better than being number one, I think this may apply to every aspect of our lives, and even chess.

I actually thought it was a pretty interesting article.

See, you've got Tattaglia and Barzini trying to break into the drug trade, getting mixed up with guys like Sollozzo and crooked cops like McCluskey. The Corleone family chooses instead, to focus on its core competencies. In the end, it's the Corleone family that flourishes, making a bid for International Immobiliare.

Of course, Michael dies a sad and lonely old man, but that part of the discussion probably belongs in the "Friends or Money" thread.

If your overall objetive is to make money, but you get carryed away by competition, and you end up being in the first place of competition but loosing money, is it woth it???
