If you manage to pull a smile everyday and not get emotionally attached to any client or deal, you will be a rockstar and it will be a highly rewarding career.

Quote from @Dave Foster: @Nic A., Investing for "what if" is fraught with risk. 

I've only held onto it because I have an emotional attachment to the area.

@Alvin Sylvain I agree the emotional support animals are B.S. but they are legal and we have to abide by the law.If the animal is an ESA, you are allowed to ask if the person is disabled and what service the animal provides.

One more tip – people remember stories that trigger their emotions.

For your part, it might seem like a free roll of the dice to go to court, but there are surprises and landmines along the way, litigation always takes far longer than anybody expects, and the time and emotional expense of fooling with litigation are energy drains on more productive endeavors.

off-market deals can sometimes be the most emotional situation you will encounter. 

Don't be emotional, just rational. 

For example, if the husband didn't know his wife for 10-20 years, and he just had to give up $1MM, without any emotional ties, years of life, trust, stress etc. invested in that person, it wouldn't be as bad as an actual divorce.

"Inflation expectations" is a purely rational and logical way to look at it, but let's consider that bond market buyers/sellers aren't 100% comprised of Vulcans, and that there are highly emotional and irrational individuals among them, as well.
