Sounds like a great book Bill. I am like you, I love to read about history and self help books, but I typically think of reading fiction as a waste of time. (Sorry all you fiction readers out there) I will have to check this out.

Pam, my idea is to work as hard as I can to be a better and more educated and informed person.  I've always thought that was our purpose here, i.e., be that so we can contribute more than we take out.

Thanks for commenting, and also thanks for letting me know we're kindred spirits.

GOD Blesses!

Bill...I must admit I like fiction...I believe I'm an escapist! I am a tactile learner and learn best with verbal and visual then a written re-enforcement!

But I retain...when I learn hands-on. It's the retention that's important for me....doesn't come so easy these days.

I'm off to bed...eyes are closing! Nite Bill :-)

Miss Joanie,

I actually learn best by doing it, screwing it up, then cleaning up my mess.  And while I was not a particularly good student before college, what I did learn stayed with me until this very day.  For an example, I can still work a slide rule and my math skills remain.

So all in all, I probably got more out of my public schooling than the Valedictorian.

Patty learns like you do, and like you, she's a smart cookie.  I don't want to match wits with either one of you.

Love hearing from you.  Miss you when I don't.

Bill,

Thanks for the heads up on this book. I love to read all the non-fiction I can get my hands on. My degree is in marketing and I love to study people and NLP. I already know about me -- I'd much rather learn about other people. You've got to be comfortable in your own skin to first sell yourself, which is the first thing people buy, to be able to sell anything else. Sounds like an interesting read.

Cheers.

Sounds like a good book!  It's funny, but beyond magic books (my hobby as a kid) every book was a biography.  I've always studied people to pattern.  I also have little use for novels, if I'm going to read I need to learn something FAST.  I like movies based on novels - I wonder what that means????

Miss Terri, you and I share the same logic and for the same reasons.  Often times I have trouble pulling in the suggestions to my personality, but I sure try, and I always see why they would make me a better person.

Miss Rebecca, I am totally amused that you were a kid magician!  My lifelong friend, Jasper Tramonte, and I also studied magic and we called ourselves the Twin Foondinis.  We put on quite a few shows, actually, and I've always sworn that we were the inspiration of Sigfried and Roy.
