Book Wisdom: Money


"You can buy bonds sold by companies or other groups. You will be promised higher interest rates than you could get by putting your money in the bank or by buying government bonds - but you could lose some or all of your money, so you better get paid enough for taking the risk." quoted from pg. 15 from this book......

American Dream

Words:

"Luck. That's what the American Dream now rests on." quoted from pg. 8 of this book.

Reality:

The American Dream is still about education, hard work, and perseverance.... The fact that millions of legal immigrants come to America every year and they are doing fine is the proof that the American Dream is attainable. Many Americans who are living their dreams now mostly work hard for it. If luck is the only determinant, then there should be a lot more people in poverty than the ones who are not. It's because only one out of many millions of people can be lucky enough to win a lottery.....

Book Review: The Rules for Hearts

I don't have anything to say about this book except that there is nothing interesting in this story. There is no interesting plot and no interesting character. The book is plainer than plain.... I can't relate to it at all.
