During the most recent presidential election campaigning between President Barack Obama and ex governor Mitt Romney we were given opportunity to learn a valuable lesson, and although this lesson may have been missed due to all the other important events that took place during the campaign it was and is, I think, a very valuable lesson.
Although Mr. Romney had to be pressured into teaching us some of the key points of this lesson by being forced to reveal and explain the millions of dollars he had stored away in offshore accounts; in the end, this acknowledgement only helped to bring onto full perspective how successful this man has been at investing, even in defeat.
The other parts of Mr. Romney's very significant investing lesson naturally became clear during the course of the Presidential election.

I know some may say well that wasn't so difficult when you have a lot of money ; however, I think we have seen enough rich and famous relationships go down the toilet to know that money doesn't necessarily hold a relationship together through the long and sometime difficult times.
It was also very evident for those of us who watched the campaigning and debates for the office of President of the United States that Mr. Romney's son have a great deal of love and respect for their father which to me means that he must have been investing a lot of his time, wisdom, money and love with them while they were growing up and continues investing a meaningful connection with his sons to help in their development as men.
