1:02 pm	@@@@@What is my wealth? Let's go back to @@@@@What is my wealth? Let's go back to Buckminster Fuller's definitionUsing his definition, how many days forward can I survive? And let's assume a 30-day monthBy that definition, I have enough cash flow for half a month When I have achieved $2,000 a month cash flow from my assets, then I will be wealthy So I am not yet rich, but I am wealthy I now have income generated from assets each month that fully cover my monthly expensesIf I want to increase my expenses, I first must increase my cash flow from assets to maintain this level of wealthTake notice that it is at this point that I no longer am dependent on my wages I have focused on and been successful in building an asset column that has made me financially independent If I quit my job today, I would be able to cover my monthly expenses with the cash flow from my assets My next goal would be to have the excess cash flow from my assets reinvested into the asset column The more money that goes into my asset column, the more my asset column growsThe more my assets grow, the more my cash flow growsAnd as long as I keep my expenses less than the cash flow from these assets, I will grow richer, with more and more income from sources other than my physical labor As this reinvestment process continues, I am well on my way to being rich The actual definition of rich is in the eye of the beholderYou can never be too rich Just remember this simple observation: The rich buy assetsThe poor only have expensesThe middle class buys liabilities they think are assetsSo how do I start minding my own business? What is the answer? Listen to the founder of McDonald's CHAPTER FOUR Lesson Three: Mind Your Own Business In 1974, Ray Kroc, the founder of McDonald's, was asked to speak to the MBA class at the University of Texas at AustinA dear friend of mine, Keith Cunningham, was a student in that MBA classAfter a powerful and inspiring talk, the class adjourned and the students asked Ray if he would join them at their favorite hangout to have a few beers Ray graciously accept (Comment on this)
6:39 am	@@@@@ He felt relaxed, extremely relaxed, in @@@@@ He felt relaxed, extremely relaxed, in comparison to the tension he had sustained when they were loading the food, and with surprise he noticed how wet his clothing had becomeSome spray was washing over the forward ramp, and Hearn stood in the supply well, and let it patter down upon himOverhead, the sun was breaking through the clouds, the overcast retreating wispily before it like paper curling away from a flameHe mopped his forehead once more, felt his collar gathered like a sodden rope around his neck Well, twelve pounds was not badKerrigan would have charged him at least fifteen pounds for those supplies, perhaps twentyThat seaman had been an ass, and the General was an ass tooCummings had expected him to come back with only the whiskyYesterday Horton had been talking about a purser"That sonofabitch won't co-operate at all," Horton had saidAnd the purser was Kerrigan The General had sent him out on a special detail to buy some extras for officers' mess when clearly it was a job for one of the officers in Horton's sectionSomehow he had sensed the General's motive, he must have, otherwise why would he have gone to the trouble of bribing the seaman or become so angry when Kerrigan had given him lip? So the General was having an effect on himHearn sat down on the tarpaulin covering the supplies, took off his shirt, swabbed his wet body with it, and then, holding it dourly in his hand, he lit a cigarette After the boat landed, Hearn had the supplies transferred to a weapons carrier, and rode back with his detailHe reached the bivouac before noon, and dropped in at the General's tent to report, savoring the idea of disappointing Cummings, but the General was not thereHearn sat down on a foot locker, and surveyed the tent distastefullyNothing in it had been altered since early morning when Clellan had worked on it, and in the sunlight that glanced through the open flaps the tent was rectangular and unfriendly with all the corners squared, and no sign that anyone ever lived in itThe floor was spotless, the blankets were drawn tautly over the General's mattress, the desk was unclutteredHearn sighed, felt a vague uneasiness stirring in himEver since that particular night The General was putting the screws on himThe things Cummings gave him to do could be done easily enough, but there was always a special brand of humiliation in themThe General knew him in some ways better than he knew himself, Hearn realizedIf he had a job he would do it, even if it meant being a bastard about it, but each time he was a bastard it was a little easier to be one the next time (Comment on this)

1:02 pm	@@@@@The General was paying attention to the @@@@@The General was paying attention to the silent rhapsodic swoop of the shell, was following it in his mind's eyeHow long did it take? Perhaps half a minute? His ears were alerted for the sound of its explosion "I never quite get over it, sirIt must be bloody hell at the other end Cummings was listening to the dull muted tones of the explosion, miles away in the jungleHe saw in his mind the bright destroying bouquet of flame, the screams and the rent iron singing through the airI wonder if it killed anyone? he thoughtHe realized the tenseness with which he had been waiting for the shell to land by the weak absorptive relief that washed through his bodyAll his senses felt gratified, exhaustedThe war, or rather, war, was odd, he told himself a little inanelyBut he knew what it meantIt was all covered with tedium and routine, regulations and procedure, and yet there was a naked quivering heart to it which involved you deeply when you were thrust into itAll the deep dark urges of man, the sacrifices on the hilltop, and the churning lusts of the night and sleep, weren't all of them contained in the shattering screaming burst of a shell, the man-made thunder and light? He did not think these things coherently, but traces of them, their emotional equivalents, pictures and sensations, moved him into a state of acute sensitivityHe felt cleaned in an acid bath, and all of him, even his fingertips, was prepared to grasp the knowledge behind all thisHe dwelt pleasurably in many-webbed layers of complexityThe troops out in the jungle were disposed from the patterns in his mind, and yet at this moment he was living on many levels at once; in firing the gun he was a part of himselfAll the roaring complex of odors and sounds and sights, multiplied and re-multiplied by all the guns of the division, was contained in a few cells of his head, the faintest crease of his brainAll of it, all the violence, the dark co-ordination had sprung from his mindIn the night, at that moment, he felt such power that it was beyond joy; he was calm and sober Later, returning to his headquarters in the jeep, he was in an excellent moodHis body was still keyed, still the least bit feverish, but the excitement it caused him went beyond restlessness, and charged his brain to intense activityYet it was random casual thought; he amused himself the way a child would sport in a toy store if given complete freedom to touch everything and cast it away when tiredCummings was not unconscious of the processAny new physical action always aroused him, infused his perceptions When he reached his tent, he looked cursorily at the few dispatches that had collected in his absenc (Comment on this)

He seemed closest to her in the quiet time after supper when she sat with his mother in the study and listened with fascination while Miss Eleanor talkedShe was always willing to remember things Rhett had done or said when he was a little boyScarlett enjoyed Miss Eleanor's other stories, tooSometimes they were wickedly funny Eleanor Butler, like most of her Charleston contemporaries, had been educated by bags dolce gabbana governesses and travelShe was well-read but not intellectual, spoke the romance languages adequately, but with a terrible accent, was familiar with London, Paris, Rome, Florence, but only the famous historic attractions and luxury shopsShe was true to her era and her classShe had never questioned the authority of her parents or her husband, and she did her duty in all respects, without complainingWhat set her apart from most women of her type was that she had an irrepressible, quiet sense chanel cc earrings of (Comment on this)

6:39 am	@@@@@I used the title ‘Doctor’ with the cripple’s @@@@@I used the title ‘Doctor’ with the cripple’s companion and he responded to it “Where have they gone? It’s vital that I know!” “It was not disclosed, but I will soon learn enough for you to find out, old manThe porter who took their luggage to the south platform will get the description and the license of the car that meets them “In the name of God, call me back with the information!” ?? ?? ?? Three thousand miles from Paris, Louis DeFazio sat alone at a rear table in Trafficante’s Clam House on Prospect Avenue in Brooklyn, New YorkHe finished his late afternoon lunch of vitello tonnato and dabbed his lips with the bright red napkin, trying to look his usual jovial, if patronizing, selfHowever, if the truth were known, it was all he could do to stop from gnawing on the napkin rather than caressing his mouth with itMaledetto! He had been at Trafficante’s for nearly two hours—two hours! And it had taken him forty-five minutes to get there after the call from Garafola’s Pasta Palace in Manhattan, so that meant it was actually over two hours, almost three, since the gumball in Paris, France, spotted two of the targetsHow long could it take for two bersaglios to get to a hotel in the city from the airport? Like three hours? Not unless the Palermo gumball drove to London, England, which was not out of the question, not if one knew Palermo Still, DeFazio knew he had been right! The way the Jew shrink talked under the needle there was no other route he and the ex-spook could take but to Paris and their good buddy, the fake hit manSo Nicolo and the shrink disappeared, went poof-zam, so what the fuck? The Jew got away and Nicky would do timeBut Nicolo wouldn’t talk; he understood that bad trouble, like a knife in the kidney, was waiting for him wherever he went if he didBesides, Nicky didn’t know anything Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 310 so specific the lawyers couldn’t wipe away as secondhand horseshit from a fifth-rate horse’s ass And the shrink only knew he was in a room in some farmhouse, if he could even remember thatHe never saw anybody but Nicolo when he was “compass mantis,” as they say But Louis DeFazio knew he was rightAnd because he was right, there were more than seven million big ones waiting for him in ParisSeven million! Holy Christ! He could give the Palermo gumballs in Paris more than they ever expected and still walk away with a bundle An old waiter from the old country, an uncle of Trafficante, approached the table and Louis held his breath“There’s a telephone call for you, Signor DeFazio As was usual, the capo supremo went to a pay phone at the end of a narrow dark corridor outside the men’s room“This is New York,” said DeFazio: “This is Paris, Signor New YorkThis is also pazzo!” “Where’ve you been?
