Have not read this book yet but it does sound fascinating.

I have always had a hard time listening to people tell me about their problems in life while explaining to me how someone else is living on easy street. I used to build stairs on tract homes and seemed to make pretty good money doing it. Everyone referred to me as easy money and I heard this for years even though other people were making more money than myself.

I never seem to hear this from the people making more money or the same amount of money I was making, it was always from other people that never seem to put the effort into educating themselves or even a desire to learn how to build stairs and eventually do my job.

I have spent a lifetime listening to people tell me how good I have it and how bad they have it. Don't become one of these people and if you are this book sounds like a good place to start.

There's an old saying "The Harder I Work the Luckier I Become".

Something to think about.
