Thumbs up Rich dad, Poor dad (Robert T, Kiyosaki)

I'm reading a financial book named Rich dad, Poor dad. It's a story of a boy that have one father who went to the university and was minded by studying. This father was poor. The other dad was the best friend of his real father.This one wasn't minded by studying. He didn't want to work for money. He wanted to have time to be with his family. He wants money to works for him. He decided to start his own company and concentrate his money in the real estate. After 5 years, he was financially free. His business was working for him. On the other side, you have the dad that was minded by school and get a great job. He was not happy because everytime you want more money, you need to upgrade your job. Then you work more and you don't see your family. This dad was poor! In the book, the rich dad is helping the boy to be like him. He tell him financial tips and more...
This book drove me into another minding. The minding of an happy moneymaker( a businessman).
I hope you will read this book because it will probably change the way you live and your mind about money and work.
This was the greatest book I ever read.

The Bedside Book of Beasts by Graeme Gibson. It's a very interesting compilation of observations by the author and other animal experts about the behaviour of predators and their prey. It has a lot to say about people too, if you can read between the lines.

Default Think of Turbulence

Hey!

It is a very good question, as I read a lot and different things. If we are talking about books, then I am now reading Alan Greenspan's The Age of Turbulence. It is a great book.

Kind regards,

I am at the moment reading Chopper 10 by Mark Brandon Read.
He was a notorious Australian Criminal but his outlook of life is brutal and humorous. He maintains that he has never hurt any member of the public just other criminals and drug dealers. His favorite crime was to rob drug dealers as they could not go to the police.
Their was also a film made about him called Chopper. I think it came out in 2000.
I seem to be reading a lot of true crime books at the moment. Especially about Glasgow crime and Scottish criminals.
I love reading but it takes me a while as i am dyslexic. But i would rather read a book than watch T.V.
