Book excerpt: RICH DAD, POOR SONPoverty is the easiest thing to inherit a childWhen I say that the easiest thing for a father to inherit their children is his poorness, I do not refer to his material possessions, valuable objects or money in any of its presentations.I refer to the way in which us fathers -conscious or unconsciously- inherit our good and bad habits to our children, and that they will be used as an example to build up their growth and development.Our words must be consistent with our actions, Our children's mind won't remember or give any importance to the million of advices we give them, if they're not coupled with our actions.Teaching them a good financial education is the basis of their economic success. From a very young age, they must know how to add and generate and not to subtract.It is not enough to inherit an incredible yacht and a beautiful mansion in the beach, if you never showed your children how to fish. It is enough to invest a little time effort and dedication in showing them how to fish, for them to be able to buy their own yacht and mansion in a little time.A nice read to help you think if you're well-educating your children.

Download or read book Journal 1955 1962 written by Mouloud Feraoun and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ?This honest man, this good man, this man who never did wrong to anyone, who devoted his life to the public good, and who was one of the greatest writers in Algeria, has been murdered. . . . Not by accident, not by mistake, but called by his name and killed with preference.? So wrote Germaine Tillion in Le Monde shortly after Mouloud Feraoun?s assassination by a right wing French terrorist group, the Organisation Armäe Secr_te, just three days before the official cease-fire ended Algeria?s eight-year battle for independence from France. However, not even the gunmen of the OAS could prevent Feraoun?s journal from being published. Journal, 1955?1962 appeared posthumously in French in 1962 and remains the single most important account of everyday life in Algeria during decolonization. Feraoun was one of Algeria?s leading writers. He was a friend of Albert Camus, Emmanuel Robl_s, Pierre Bourdieu, and other French and North African intellectuals. A committed teacher, he had dedicated his life to preparing Algeria?s youth for a better future. As a Muslim and Kabyle writer, his reflections on the war in Algeria afford penetrating insights into the nuances of Algerian nationalism, as well as into complex aspects of intellectual, colonial, and national identity. Feraoun?s Journal captures the heartbreak of a writer profoundly aware of the social and political turmoil of the time. This classic account, now available in English, should be read by anyone interested in the history of European colonialism and the tragedies of contemporary Algeria.
Download or read book His Only Son written by Leopoldo Alas and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unlikely hero of His Only Son, Bonifacio Reyes, is a romantic and a flautist by vocation—and a failed clerk and kept husband by necessity—who dreams of a novelesque life. Tied to his shrill and sickly wife by her purse strings, he enters timidly into a love affair with Serafina, a seductive second-rate opera singer, encouraged by her manager who mistakes Bonifacio for a potential patron. Meanwhile, Bonifacio’s wife experiences a parallel awakening and in the midst of a long-barren marriage, surprises them both with a son—but is it Bonifacio’s? In the accompanying novella, Doña Berta, the heroine of the title, an aged, poor, but well-born woman, forfeits her beloved estate in search of a portrait that may be all that remains of the secret love of her life. While largely unknown outside of Spain, Leopoldo Alas was one of the most celebrated writers of criticism in nineteenth-century Spain and employed his satirical talents to powerful and humorous effect in fiction. His Only Son was Alas’s second and final novel, full of characteristic humor, naturalistic detail, descriptive beauty, and moral complexity. His frail and pitiful characters—irrational, emotional actors drawn inexorably toward their foolish fates—are yet multidimensional individuals, often conscious of their own weaknesses and stymied by their very yearnings to be more than the parts they find themselves playing.
Download or read book Was Jesus a Poor Man written by Clarence Jackson Jr and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-04 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible states in 1 Peter 2:21 "For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps." What was the example Jesus left us to follow? Was it one of poverty and lack, or one of abundance? Many people believe that he was poor financially and materially when he lived upon the earth. And many of those same people believe that he and his disciples were beggars subsisting on the handouts of others. In his book Was Jesus A Poor Man? Clarence, with over 20 years of study, shows us through the Word of God whether this belief is true or false by tackling such topics as Did Jesus have a house? Did he have a job? Did he pay taxes? Did his ministry have a treasury? Did he wear designer clothing? Did he have a car? and so on.
