It’s half-time in a girl’s freshman basketball game. The score 31-9. My officiating partner and I discuss how difficult our job can become in a lopsided game. We need to keep our heads in the game despite the score. The team that’s leading is the first to score in the second half. They score again, and again, still again. By the time the third quarter is over they are the only team that’s scored and it’s now 48-9.

Albert Einstein called compound interest the most powerful force in the universe. [Compounding is reinvesting the income on an investment and watching your principle grow. It grows exponentially over time. See Chart below.]
