Business Reading

I started reading an online book sent to me by www.trustetc.com today. It is "Think & Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. It was written shortly after the Great Depression, but so far (I'm up to Chapter 4) it has a lot of great ideas. I don't necessarily agree that you should "desire" money at the cost of everything else, but you can apply the principles of goal setting and focus on a lot of things. The direct link to the PDF file is http://www.iraetc.com/tgr2/tgr.pdf if you want to download it.

The Trust ETC Site (www.trustetc.com) will be my link for the day. There is a lot of good investment information on their site. This site also tells about the Real Estate IRA, which is a great find.

The quotes today are all similar so I'll give you three:

It is not the same to talk of bulls as to be in the bullring. -- Spanish Proverb
It is easy to be brave from a distance. --Native American Proverb
I want to see you shoot the way you shout. --Theodore Roosevelt

Citizenship in a Republic - Theodore Roosevelt

I've been reading some quotes and came on this speech . It has a few sections that are quoted often. I found some more that interested me as well. I'm sharing the entire speech here, with my high-lites.  The Famous Quote: It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena , whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.  Keith

Happy Birthday SSM

Happy Birthday to my wife! (She shall remain nameless by her request. Actually she said "don't put me on that thang." I haven't gotten this far by listening to everyone who tries to limit my creativity.) Scripture: Proverbs 31:10-30 10 [a] A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. 11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. 12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. 13 She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands. 14 She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar. 15 She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls. 16 She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. 17 She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. 18 She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. 19 In her hand she

Johnny Earl Maxwell: "Mr W.A. and Mrs. Thelma's Boy"

Johnny Earl Maxwell (9/20/1940 to 7/2/2020) “Mr. W.A. and Mrs Thelma’s boy” The above quote was from one of Dad's growing up friends, I think it was the younger brother of Thurman and Herman Moseley. Either way it's a very fitting description of John Maxwell. Here is a sort of memorial tale of my Dad. They wouldn't let me use it as the Obituary , but I like the story. Joel, visited the last two weeks to help with things and we had LOTS of laughs with Dad, talking about old times. Joel cooked for him, and fixed him coffee and got him whatever else he wanted. Dad loved it. Duh. And I loved that he kept things cleaned up.  Camellia called him on his last day and of course, he asked about Katie, one of his “favorite” grandkids. He lived with Camellia for the last 10 years or more. She took care of him, his only daughter, and the one most like him. So, he was very close to Danielle and Katie, seeing them, and hugging them about every day. And his favorite son-
