- Happy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
This might be controversial, but sometimes I think that being happy is a decision. I don't mean that in a way to diminish clinical depression. But on a more day-to-day level.
- Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Usually halfway through a book I have a serious depression, so I go on safari on my ranch in South Africa, or fishing off my island in the Seychelles. When I come back and re-read it, I think: 'What was all that about, Smith? It's fine, just get on with it.'
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We've always been modestly leveraged, and we've never believed in a great deal of leverage on either our private equity business or on our investment banking business.

Depression has existed as long as mankind itself, and certainly well before psychiatry, antidepressant medication, or the nation of America itself came into being.
- Mood
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In the end, I do not think we will find the neat boundary between 'normal sadness' and 'clinical depression,' if only because mood is an innate human characteristic, like weight or the length of our hair.

- Expressed
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In my mind, depression is, like all non-communicable diseases, a physiologically expressed condition which is profoundly influenced by our social and cultural environments.

- Brain

- Endure
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Discussions of the economy, especially during times of crisis, are often framed in terms of lessons we supposedly learned during the Depression of the 1930s.
