Getting to the point where a cause goes from being a terribly daunting task with a handful of adherents to an acknowledged success with momentum and many allies is a rarity.

If the world does well, gold will be fine. If the world doesn't do well, gold will also do fine... but a lot of other things could collapse.

Whatever you are doing in life, you have to build a high-class vehicle to deliver your vision.
