русский term

"умный бедным не бывает"

русский => английский Бизнес/Финансы Журналистика investing
Все о том же, об инвестировании... На сколько вы могли заметить, аксиома, приведенная выше, во многом созвучна модному сейчас "теплое сырым не бывает" или "хороший петух толстым не бывает" (последнее из разряда "gems of Ukrainian mental capacity"). I'm serious, CREATIVITY is so much welcome...:))

"умный" is "clever". "To be clever" and "to be intellectual" have different meanings.The qualities of "clever" are:quick learning and understanding;ingenuity,;pragmatism.An "abstraction" is a domain of the intellect.Many intellectuals are poor due to the lack of business sense while the clever ones,with their shreudness, can make their living in the desert.

Согласен с Вами, ведь как написано в Библии "богаты скудостью желаний своих..." Никак не могу дождаться истечения 24-часового "задержания"
Aleksey Chervinskiy Jul 4, 2009:
можно и так .
Vladimir Dubisskiy Jul 3, 2009:
а это не в смысле ..что настоящее богатство не в деньгах, а в уме? Ведь запросто и так можно прочитать.

The smart don't go begging.

This could be misinterpreted, of course. It has an obvious literal meaning, but also calls to mind the idiom "go begging," which means "to be left over, unwanted, or unused." In other words, the smart folks make out well where investments are concerned.

smarts and powerty don't mix

Во бред то! Тогда Дональд Трамп в несколько сот тысяч раз умнее умершего в нищете Шопенгауэра.
Это новые русские теперь себя и умными к тому же начали считатать.
