I love these sorts of posts because I had always hoped as a younger man that I could find some secret, shared trait common amongst the world's most wealthy but the only thing I found that came close in reality was prodigious Diet Coke consumption.

Observation about wealthy people:
I once worked with someone extremely wealthy, and what struck me was how they never complained about small inconveniences.
Their coffee order was wrong? They just drank it. Flight delayed? They pulled out a book.
They had this quiet acceptance that some things just aren’t worth the emotional energy. While the rest of us were stressing over things we couldn’t control, they’d already moved on to what they could control.
It wasn’t about the money solving problems.. it was about having enough security that they didn’t need to fight every battle. They could afford, mentally and emotionally, to let things go.
