Dave Cronen dcronen1 — While reading this book it reminded me how tough the middle school years can be. You practically remember the smells of insecurity, and since I was a chubby girl myself at those times I could relate to our main character Celeste. I could feel her pain when she talked about the dreaded one mile run! So glad that's over. Well, the story begins with Celeste trying on a bridesmaid dress for her cousin's wedding. While her family and her are leaving the store, her Aunt Doreen sees a pamphelt for a contest to become the face for the clothing line Peach Wear and be the next Miss Husky Peach. Celeste totally dismisses the idea of becoming a fat model. Who wants to be known for that? Before she knows it though she is one of the twelve contestants competing for the title Miss Husky Peach. Our main character decides she can't win if she loses the weight so she creates a masterplan to purposely not win this contest, and this is where things start to pick up and.... Throughout this story you see friendships fall apart and new ones created and root for Celeste when she starts to gain confidence while the weight starts coming off. I really like the little twist in the end, but I couldn't have myself give it more stars for the sole reason that when I finished all I could think of was "that was a nice story". Highly recommended for middle school aged girls.

Federico Jiménez jimenezhueb452 — A few times in my life, I have read exactly the right book at exactly the right moment. This summer was that moment for this book. A writer, who is around 50 years old, takes a year off from her normal life to rediscover herself and to find her new calling. Some of my favorite moments are when she swims with the seals, when she walks in the fog, and when she figures out how to finance urgently needed roof repairs. Joan Anderson asks, "Doesn't change occur only when we stop living the expected life?" As I begin my own year by a sea, I am hoping the answer to her question is "Yes!"

Landry Harlan landryharlan — We all know the government is shit, and is getting worse. Employees get taxed out of the ass while investors get huge tax breaks. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Mr. Kiyosaki knows this and I agree when he says that instead of complaining about it we need to learn about it and then take advantage of it. This book also explains why network marketing is the new top business of the 21st century. Notes & Quotes: "Take responsibility for your finances - or get used to taking orders for the rest of your life. You're either a master of money or a slave to it. Your choice." - Robert T. Kiyosaki (The Business of the 21st Century, Pg. xi) "Have you ever wondered where the idea of retirement at age 65 came from? I'll tell you where: Otto Von Bismarck, the president of Prussia, in 1889. Actually, Bismarck's plan kicked in at age 70, not 65, but it hardly matters. Promising their old folks a guaranteed pension after age 65 was not much of an economic risk for Bismarck's government: At the time, the life expectancy of the average Prussian was about 45. Today, so many are living well into their 80s and 90s that the same promise might well bankrupt the federal government within the next generation." - Robert T. Kiyosaki (The Business of the 21st Century, Pg.11) "Forbes magazine defines "rich" as a person who earns in excess of $1 million per year (about $83,333 per month, or just under $20,000 a week), and "poor" as someone who earns less than $25,000 a year." - Robert T. Kiyosaki (The Business of the 21st Century, Pg.15) Book: Cashflow Quadrant Book: Rich Dad Poor Dad Book: We Want You to Be Rich 27 books in the rich dad series as of (2010) Cashflow Quadrants: Employee (Security) Self-Employed (Independance) Business owner (Wealth Building) Investor (Finacial Freedom) "Oh, I know that some schools teach stock picking, but to me, that is not investing: that's gambling." - Robert T. Kiyosaki (The Business of the 21st Century, Pg.22) "Have you ever used one of those spring-loaded water faucets that some public restrooms install to save water? When you turn the water on, you have to hold the faucet there, because when you let go, it bounces back to the off position. Most people's income source works just like that faucet: You get a little money flowing, and then when you let go, it bounces back to off. You can never build freedom that way. What you want is a money faucet that you can let go of once you've turned it on, because it stays on by itself." - Robert T. Kiyosaki (The Business of the 21st Century, Pg.30) Passive Income - Residual Income Popular business model of passive income: network marketing "It's not about income - it's about assets that generate income." - Robert T. Kiyosaki (The Business of the 21st Century, Pg.39) "Your house is not an asset; it's a hole in the ground into which you pour money." - Robert T. Kiyosaki (The Business of the 21st Century, Pg.40) Build Assets "While I won't work hard for a job, I'll work really hard to build an asset, simply because I think like a rich person, not like a working-class person." - Robert T. Kiyosaki (The Business of the 21st Century, Pg.40) "My house went up in value. My car went up in value." That's capital gain, not cash flow." - Robert T. Kiyosaki (The Business of the 21st Century, Pg.40) "If you want to become rich, you need to network with those who are rich or who can help you become rich." - Robert T. Kiyosaki (The Business of the 21st Century, Pg.55) "Wealth is the ability to survive so many number of days forward. Ask yourself, "If I stop working today, how long could I survive financially?" Your answer is equal to your wealth at this moment." - Robert T. Kiyosaki (The Business of the 21st Century, Pg.78) Network Four-step plan to retire young and rich: 1) Build a business 2) Reinvest in your business 3) Invest in real estate 4) Let your assets buy luxuries "Most people think that the point of real estate is to buy a property at one price and then sell it (either quickly, after some hasty improvements, or at a later time) for a higher price. Wrong. That's just buying a cow and then selling it for steaks. What you want to do is buy a cow and keep it forever so you can sell its milk." - Robert T. Kiyosaki (The Business of the 21st Century, Pg.80) "You don't use your income to buy yourself luxuries: You use your income to build your assets - your business and real estate investments - and then, once they're sufficiently built to be able to do so, you let them buy your luxuries." - Robert T. Kiyosaki (The Business of the 21st Century, Pg.81) "In his book Outliers: The Story of Success, Malcolm Gladwell explains that to become outstandingly accomplished at anything, it takes about 10,000 hours of hard work." - Robert T. Kiyosaki (The Business of the 21st Century, Pg.108) "I know that the more mistakes I make and learn from, the smarter I will become. If I make no mistakes for five years, then I am no smarter than I was five years ago - just five years older." - Robert T. Kiyosaki (The Business of the 21st Century, Pg.108) "I realized that it was not the tangible asset that was valuable. It was information relative to the asset that ultimately made a person rich or poor. ... It is your financial intelligence that makes you rich." - Robert T. Kiyosaki (The Business of the 21st Century, Pg.112)
