Rich Dad Poor Dad

Robert Kiyosaki thinks it's foolish to simply say to a child to study hard, get a good grade and you'll get a good job, a secured job with high pay and great benefits.

I couldn't agree with him more. It was something that i used to believe when i was a little girl. All i know is that education is important. Only well-educated person will excel in life, will get a good job with promising future. All i know was that i have to study hard to get good grades, to get to a better high school and a better class with those good grades. I did it and i continued to work hard so that i can get into the sciences stream with good grades as everyone says good students/bright students go to the sciences stream. I followed the advice thinking only students with good result get into university and a university graduate will have a good job in the future while those not-so-good student will end up looking for job after high school. It struck me when basically everyone goes to university or college, be it a straight As student or a straight Bs student. Eventually everyone is a degree holder. University graduates are every where. The 'degree' thing is not something so precious as it used to be many many years back. It's not the good grades that decide the promising job/high pay. To me, the path that you chose is very important, as in Robert's favourite poem, the road not taken, the path that you take, make all the difference.
' I shall be telling this with a sigh
somewhere ages and ages hence
2 roads diverged in a wood, and I...
I took the one less traveled by
and that has made all the difference'

Rich dad said: Life is the best teacher of all. Most of the time,life does not talk to u. It just sort of pushes you around. Each push is life saying:wake up, there's sthg i want you to learn.

Not Dead Enough by Peter James

RM15.00

On the night Brian Bishop murdered his wife, he was sixty miles away, asleep in bed at the time. At least, that's the way it looks to Detective Superintendent Roy Grace who is called in to investigate the kinky slaying of beautiful young Brighton socialite, Katie Bishop.
Soon, Grace starts coming to the conclusion that Bishop has performed the apparently impossible feat of being in two places at once. Has someone stolen his identity, or is he simply a very clever liar? As Grace digs deeper behind the facade of the Bishops' outwardly respectable lives, it starts to become clear that all is not at all as it first seemed. And then he digs just a little too far, and suddenly the fragile stability of his own troubled, private world is facing destruction.

SLEEP NO MORE - Greg Iles
The spirit of Mallory Candler who's dead for ten years, shows up in the body of a local beauty. She's back....& she's all around Waters...
This tale is like watching a train wreck in slow motion - horrifying....haunting...unforgetable...
While coaching his daughter's soccer game, John Waters happens to notice Eve Sumner, a local real estate agent who is a total stranger to him but who knows him very, very well. She knows things about him, in fact, that only one other person knows. Or knew. That one person is Mallory Candler, who had been Waters's lover in college but whose obsession with him had ultimately driven him away from her. Candler had disappeared after Waters married, only to reappear, tragically, as a murder victim in New Orleans. Yet, it seems that Mallory, as Eve Sumner, is back, as improbable that may be.
Sumner knows all of Waters's secrets and all of the intimate memories that they shared together. Waters soon finds himself again involved with his old flame. Her obsession with him is as strong as it ever was, however, and Waters soon finds himself consumed by that passion, to the point where his entire life may be destroyed. When another tragic event occurs, Waters realizes that this is an affair that can only end in one way.

Get it Now! for RM15.00!
