In 1923, who was:

President of the largest steel company? Charles Schwab
President of the largest gas company? Edward Hopson
President of the New York Stock Exchange? Richard Whitney
Greatest wheat speculator? Arthur Cooger
Great Bear of Wall Street? Cosabee Livermore
The PGA Champion and winner of the most important golf tournament, the US Open? Gene Sarazen

These men were considered some of the world?s most successful of their days. But 80 years later, we can look at the history books and see what became of them.

Charles Schwab died a pauper.
Edward Hopson went insane.
Richard Whitney was released from prison to die at home.
Arthur Cooger died abroad, penniless.
Cosabee Livermore committed suicide.
Gene Sarazen played golf until he was 92 and died in 1999 at the age of 95. Unlike these other men, he was financially secure at the time of his death.

The moral of the story: Forget work - play golf!
