Sa huling bilang ko nakapagbasa na ako ng higit 100 nang libro at ang bawat isa sa kanila ay naglalaman ng kaalamang nagagamit ko sa buhay. Hindi ko man maalala ang lahat ng nakasulat, pero mahalaga pa rin ang natutunan ko sa kanila.

Nagsulat na ako ng isa pang article tungkol sa halaga ng mga magagdang libro (hanapin ang “From Books to Riches”), at sasabihin ko itong muli:

Wala kong alam na ibang investment na ang PRESYO ay napakalayo sa kaniyang HALAGA bukod sa edukasyong ibinibigay ng mabubuting libro.

Tandaan: Makakamit mo ang KAHIT ANONG Pangarap mo… KAPAG NATUTUNAN MO KUNG PAANO ito pagsisikapan.

By my last count, I’ve read over 100 books and each one contained precious bits of wisdom that I use (consciously or not) to this day. I may not remember most of what’s written in those books, but they had all been valuable.

I’ve written an earlier blog about how valuable great books are (see “From Books to Riches”), and I’ll say it here again.

I don’t know any other investment whose cost is so far removed from its value aside from a Great Book.

Remember: You can achieve ANYTHING you want in life… ONLY when you LEARNED how to do it.

The Tale of Two Brothers: Their Thoughts and Their Destinies

“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t–you’re right.”

– Henry Ford

Once upon a time, there lived a pair of twins from the Pa family. The stronger, smarter, and taller twin was named Tallo, while the other was named Nallo.

When they were little children, their mother once brought home a bag of cookies for them to eat. She placed the bag on a cabinet high up on the wall before leaving for work as she forgot that the two children couldn’t reach it.

Although Tallo was taller and stronger, no matter how hard he jumped, he couldn’t reach the cookies. He stopped trying and thought to himself: “No matter how hard I try, it’s useless. I CAN’T do anything.”

Nallo tried jumping for it too, but he also couldn’t reach it. Thinking of how he can reach the cookies, he saw the dining chair and a broom in their kitchen. He climbed on top of the chair and clumsily used the broom handle to try and reach the cookies. Although he failed a lot at first, after trying for 20 minutes, he eventually got the cookies and shared it with his brother. Nallo thought to himself: “I CAN do anything if I find out how to do it.”

As they grew older, Nallo and Tallo both went to the same school in their village. Tallo was smart enough to get good grades, but since he couldn’t get perfect scores, he stopped trying. Nallo had a hard time learning and failed the first few of his tests.
