There are two types of people in this world

I was out to dinner with a random bunch of gf's friends among who I met a 27 year old BSDesi who runs the derivatives trading desks at a well to do bank (according to the league tables). This guy seemed to be pretty made. He was going on about buying a 1500ft loft with 14foot ceilings on Broadway overlooking City Hall. BS in Math and Economics from U of Chicago. Regardless, he seemed like an friendly guy.
I asked the guy when/whether he was going 'buy side' or PE ? He answered with
'There are two types of people in this world: Those who try to look for a better place and those who try to build it around themselves. Those who look for a better place never find it'
I found this to be some profound shit.
