I have a collection of over 150 quotes and maxims on flying that relate to trading. I wrote an application that randomly selects a quote from the data base. My signature contains a link to this application.

I'll post a random selection here from time to time. Discussion encouraged.
 
I learned that danger is relative, and that inexperience can be a magnifying glass.

Isn't having it in your signature enough? Surely this is just going to clutter up the forum.

I started this at the suggestion of others to provide a place to discuss the maxims. I'm sorry you feel it is clutter.
 
I think it is a pity to lose the romantic side of flying and simply to accept it as a common means of transport.

I don't get that one at all. Please explain. Is there anything romantic about trading?

There is if your name is Howard "lemonparty" Cahodas

For some of us there is. I've been blessed that all my career I had jobs I loved. They had risk and satisfaction with success. I worked for myself and I worked for others.

If you don't love what you do I don't think you do well at it. That's the meaning I get out of the quote.

OK, fair enough, I accept that and understand it. I actually enjoy this for its own sake as well, and I agree with the sentiment you've expressed.

Here's my problem though (this is entirely constructive criticism). Some of your expressions are good and work fine. But I think the effect is diluted by some of those that are not such a good way of expressing your meaning (like, in my opinion, the one we are discussing). I think there are much better sayings that express it far more clearly. Is there not a danger that you are picking weaker expressions purely because they relate to aviation?

So basically, you are intending to use your subjective interpretation of a quote pertaining specifically to one areas as a basis for justifying a parallel with pretty much any other area of your choice, and apparently the more tenuous to non-existent that parallel the better?

That’s fine. Just as long as we all realise this is another Howard Cojones Show and not in any way expected to approach reality.
