Hey!


How is it going? I have been busy in the past few weeks working on a new blog that my wife asked me to put up. It is about parenting and more of personal blog. It is a tandem blog and whenever I feel the itch to write, I focused my energy to that blog so I can schedule posts.


It is always easier doing that. Scheduling posts. I know some does not like the idea but I am one of those who only gets the spark to write once in awhile. So whenever that moments comes, I try to write as many article that I can and schedule them ahead of time.



Then I realized I haven't had any new posts to this site. It could only mean one thing: I am not learning as I should be. As you know, I post in this site whenever I read something new. I write it down here so I can go back and learn it again myself.


And that is exactly what I did when I saw that I do not have new posts. I grabbed one of me old books. I browsed the pages trying to remember the lesson with the intention that I can put them into practice. It is  said that we learn best when we encounter the lesson five times. Read it. Write it. Feel it. Hear it. Do it.


With that let's review the 17 Ways Rich People Think and Act
