Have been reading The Rule of Four (by the way, do take the time to follow this link and try out the game!) lately. This is another book which is quite addictive, that, once started, I found it most difficult to put down. In fact, hard to believe this is the first by the two close friends – according the bio, the authors have been friends since they were 8.

To continue the <a href="”>previous post on novel series which I really enjoyed, another one which deserves mention is Ender’s Game, by Orson Scott Card.
While I don’t quite remember when I first picked up the this book – probably the second or third year during my undergraduate studies – I can recall vividly how emotionally I got involved while reading this book at the time. The action, the pace, the pain and toll of intensive training on a child, the loneliness of having no equals among your peers, and the realisation of having single-handedly annihilated an entire alien race, the list goes on.

Saw the movie I, Robot last night. I must admit, when I learnt that the storyline was not the same as the novel of the same name by Issac Asimov, I was a little disappointed. However, fortunately, the movie turned out to be quite entertaining. The special effects are just ideal for this type of movies. Essentially, the I, Robot series (“I, Robot”, “Pebble In The Sky”, and “The Stars, Like Dust”)was more of a detective series rather than conventional sci-fi dealing with technology or alien life forms.

Been reading the Rich Dad, Poor Dad series as mentioned earlier. In one of the books, the author advocated that money is just a concept.
In order to acquire wealth, one of the starting point is to actually change the thinking process. To be the rich, you need to act and think like a rich person. But, I gather, this does not mean spending as if you are loaded when you are not! The author’s central thesis is to challenge people to change the “I can’t afford this” thinking into “How can I afford it?”

Have been reading books from the Rich Dad, Poor Dad series.
In Rich Dad’s Guide to Investing, Kiyosaki mentions that his rich dad spoke of the magic or power of committing mistakes. In essence, to his rich dad, mistakes served as an impetus as well as learning experiences for future improvements.
