Why did you choose your signatures like that?

Hi PPers,

One member asks me regarding my signature below, I have been thinking really
hard about what matters to me in life and I come up with the values below.
In the middle is the word "Commitment" which requires us the finish what we
start and persevere until we succeed and don't give up living a better life.


~~~~~~~Family Faith Friend~~~~~~~
Compassion Commitment Communication
~~~~~~Wisdom Work Wealth~~~~~~


How about you? Why did you come up with your signature?

Re. my signature:

The three "solas" come from the time of the Protestant Reformation in the 1500s and are a mark of the Lutheran Church.  They mean "scripture alone, grace alone, faith alone" and need to be taken as a package of all three together.  If I remember correctly, the three solas are an understanding that other ideas are not foundational for Christianity (for example the Pope, and indulgences which were being sold at the time to "buy your way to heaven or to buy a loved one out of purgatory").  Perhaps this short article will help explain:

That's a good one, Mountaineer. I believe the complete set consists of 5 solas:


Sola Fide, by faith alone.
Sola Scriptura, by Scripture alone.
Solus Christus, through Christ alone.
Sola Gratia, by grace alone.
Soli Deo Gloria, glory to God alone.


I guess it isn't hard for you to figure out what my avatar means.

My signature is the closest PP-related quote I found in the Judeo-Christian sources. I tried to find something in the Bible, but nothing looked sufficiently close to PP theme, so I picked a well-known quote from Talmud.


"Business" apparently describes stocks (more of a single company stock, I guess), "reserve" is gold and cash, as to "land", I can't put it into a single PP bucket, but I feel it plays a role of a distinct uncorrelated asset quite well.

  Correct.  And, it is a marvelous avatar.

"Let every man divide his money into three parts,
and invest a third in land,
a third in business, and
a third let him keep in reserve."
- Talmud


Thanks, Mountaineer, Foglifter.


Regarding the Talmud quote above, there is a 4th intangible investment is we divide money into four parts and we invest a fourth in people because people are the most precious investments of all. What do you think?

Is there a slavery ETF?

The investment in business = the investment in people.

I chose mine because I love George Orwell and I didn't have room to quote all of 1984.
