BORING IS THE CATALYST FOR ALL
THE UN-BORING THINGS YOU DO IN LIFE.

Think about it. Boring is smart, steady, dependable. It's not wild or spontaneous. And neither are we. You see, for 160 years, we've been brilliantly boring with your money. The pragmatic, calculated kind of boring. So, you can be happily fulfilled with your life. Which is pretty un-boring, when you think about it.
