Studies during World War II, when Allied troops were preparing for combat in stifling jungle and desert environments, found that 60 to 90 minutes of moderate exercise per day in hot conditions would produce rapid physiological changes within a few days, with full acclimatization taking place within about two weeks.15 Simply living through a hot summer isn’t enough; you have to stress your system with exercise.
Thus, in skiing we must confront a basic fear: loss of the familiar. This feeling of uncertainty is similar to the first time we put our feet on the pedals of a bicycle, pushed off the wall of an ice-skating rink or tried to stay afloat in water. Just as in these other activities, learning to ski requires first being willing to let go of one known sense of control in order to gain another. In trying to do so, few of us escape a sense of panic.

Control frauds almost always report fabulous profits, and top-tier audit firms bless those financial statements. The S&L control frauds used a fraud mechanism that produced record profits and virtually no loan defaults, and had the ability to quickly transform any (real) loss found by an examiner into a (fictitious) gain that would be blessed by a Big 8 audit firm. It doesn’t get any better than this in the world of fraud! Chapter 3 discusses this fraud mechanism.
