    Track:  "Funeral March of a Marionette" -- Charles Gounod


    This is a stange Kikkoman! commercial I found while cleaning out my e-mail boxes for the week.  I'm not possitive I'll finish all of my replies, but I have already finished reading everything.  I see the world didn't fall apart without me.  :)


    This Rich Dad, Poor Dad book that I'm borrowing from Steve is a kickbutt book!  I haven't been this impressed with a book lent to me since Michael lent me the Potter books.  Some of the stuff I already know.  Some of the stuff I already know, but let my emotions dictate me in the wrong direction.  Nevertheless, some of this stuff I never knew.  Yet, it seems so logical that it has to be right.  I can't look at the way I live my life the same anymore since reading this book.  It's a total wakeup call.  I could continue to be a working class chump, or I can reach for the stars. 


    Now don't get me wrong.  I've never really wanted to be rich.  So how could I get anything out of this book?  Because I always spend the money I have on what I think are good causes.  And as long as I spend my money the old way, I'll always be in the type of monetary cycles I always find myself trapped within.  But if I can be retrained to do things the new way, I can plan for spending that kind of money and perhaps even more.  And that appeals to me.  It requires a little more responsibility, but how could more self-responsibility be bad?  Any book which encourages following your dreams by tempering your emotions with logic has got to be on the right track.
