Virgin Cow- Recommended Reading, Books, Knowledge, Wisdom

Resources > Books

There are two ways of learning- mentors and mistakes. One is hard. One is easy. Why spend a lifetime, and a lifetime worth of money, trying to solve a problem, when you can spend a few dollars and a few hours reading a book to get the answer. Everything you need to make your life better and easier has already been written. And, it's all available to you and is easily accessible. Everything you need is within your reach.

Poems

"It isn't what the book costs; it's what it will cost if you don't read it. The book you don't read won't help." --- Jim Rohn

"I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book." --- Groucho Marx (1890 - 1977)

"If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest." --- Benjamin Franklin

"Words do two major things: They provide food for the mind and create light for understanding and awareness." --- Jim Rohn

"If you seek, then you will find," (Matthew 7:7, Luke 11:9).

Here are some tips to help motivate you to begin your library...

Every home valued at $250,000 or more has a library.
Every millionaire reads at least one non-fiction book a month.
To get started building your life changing, mind enhancing library, check out your local USED bookstore. I have found some wonderful books, at incredibly low prices, at local USED bookstores, and so can you. I'm not saying "Don't buy new books," because I have bought plenty of new books. Just check a used bookstore first.
Go to the library. Did you know that only three percent of the people in America have a library card? A library card is FREE!!! You can read thousands of excellent books and not have to spend a dime of your money. You can learn any skill, any new language, and get an education at no charge.

Below are links to pages with lists of some of the excellent books and articles my wife and I have read that have dramatically changed our lives. New books and articles will be added all the time, so make sure to check back often. And, continue to search for more knowledge and wisdom in other books. Reading develops the mind, so turn off the television, and grab a good book.

The statistics speak for themselves; the faster a person reads, the more books they will read and eventually the more money they will make over the course of their lives. This is what the statistics tell us. Therefore, I want to encourage you not only to nurture your desire to read, but also your desire to read faster.

Speed Reading is an extremely comprehensive program and covers everything from the very basics of speed reading to building your vocabulary and remembering what you read. The goal is not to simply read faster, the goal is to read faster coupled with retaining what you are reading.
