The premise of this book is that you should focus on maximizing the enjoyment of your life instead of maximizing your wealth. These are two very different goals. Money is nothing more than a means to an end. Having money helps you achieve the most important goal of enjoying your life; but trying to maximize your money actually gets in the way of reaching the most important goal. Therefore, always keep this ultimate goal in mind.

Because it is located so far south, and the coastal plain quickly rises into highland, South Africa is one of the very few African countries that do not suffer from the curse of malaria, as mosquitoes find it difficult to breed there. This allowed European colonialists to push into its interior much farther and faster than in its malaria-riddled tropics, settle, and begin small-scale industrial activity that grew into what is now southern Africa's biggest economy. For most of southern Africa, doing business with the outside world means doing business with South Africa, which has used its wealth and location to tie its neighbors into its transport system, meaning there is a two-way rail and road conveyor belt stretching from its ports north through Zimbabwe, Botswana, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Mozambique, even a province of the DRC. A new Chinese-built railway from Katanga to the Angolan coast has been laid to challenge this dominance and might take some traffic from the DRC, but South Africa looks destined to maintain its advantages. — Tim Marshall
