    Instead of beating your own path, you merely followed a map which had been made out for you.

    I got the audiobook version of this and I highly recommend it.

    Also Delivering Happiness by Tony Hsieh (CEO of Zappos).

    For me it wasn't a book,
    It was a subscription, many decades ago now on my 13th birthday.
    It was from my Mum's best friend.

    It was to National Geographic Magazine,
    She renewed it every year until I turned 18 too.

    Only then did She tell me that She had given me a template travel education, what my decision was though, well I had to decide for myself.
    To be insular & to only read & look at pictures & dream?
    Or to actually experience the chaos, the solitude, The smells, the beauty, the taste & the many cultures that what us make us all what we are today.
    Noboby else has changed my appreciation of both life & culture like She did, nor that of my children when travelling abroad.

    She was decades before her time imo.....I'll never forget her gift.

    Picked up the Elon Musk biography by Ashlee Vance yesterday morning, couldn't put it down, read it in two sittings.

    Absolutely fascinating. A bit of an eye opener into what the big corporations are (or rather are not doing), and really makes you think about the fact that essentially he's the only person driving innovation in the fields of electric cars and space travel. Always thought he was a bit of a mad scientist based on the odd media reports here and there, but wow, what a fascinating read and incredible achievements he's made so far. made me excited for the future again!

    Has anybody told this to Donald Trump?

    Because unless he has a Green Card (and even then there could be issues...) it's unlikely he will get into the US.

    Depends on where you were born...and what you believe ;)

    Pretty much like any book you read

    Will it change your beliefs, or perspective
