A Gift To My Children ( By Jim Rogers )

I just finished reading this book " A gift to my children " by Jim Rogers
its a nice book and really inspire me much...
the book is talking about the father writes 12 letters to his two kinds ,
and each title of the 12 letters is sooo meaningful and useful for everyone...
those are the concept of life ~
... Here It Is ....
a. dont be affected by others - if everyone all make fun of your thought which might be the index of leading you being sucessful
b. focus on what you love - working very hard with the job which you got big enthusiasm about , then you will find your dream
c. the common sense isnt that common- what everyone believes in, usually is wrong, dont just believe in those saying of most people and without doing any research
d. keeping your eyes open to the whole world- keeping yourself being open-minded and being a citizen of the world
e. to study philosophy and to learn cerebration- to train yourself to exam every concept ,
every truth
f. to study the history- because something happened before ,
it also might happen in the future
g. its a Chinese century, so to learn chinese !!- to be participate in a great country occur ,to buy the future of this country
h. knowing yourself indeed- knowing your weakness point and noticing your fault, so that you will find the right way
i. to recognize changes and to embrace them- the function of changing is like activator, to keep awake is a important lesson
j. facing the future- those people who knows what the future like , who can pile up the fortune
k. to do something different from everybody does- to find the truths and the opportunities , and dont just follow others
l. the luck is just happening to whom keeping working very hard- studying hard and you will know that you have so many things
which you still dont know
