Peter McWilliams had also supported this idea as proposed” a little risk for rich people is what takes them to arrive at creative ideas, acquire wealth and achieve superior results. “The wealthy carefully monitor their associations. They involve the right people in creating a context that is conducive to good decisions. The right people are those who are knowledgeable, have experience, have stake in the outcome. “It’s better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behaviour is better than yours and you’ll drift in that direction.”-Warren Buffett added as he proves
