Do you want to know what separates you from the ultra and uber successful? Funny enough, it's as simple as picking up a book. The average CEO reads 4-5 books a year. Warren Buffet, the third richest man in the world reads about 550 pages a day (he argues he's slowed down now at his current age) which is pretty much two books a day, you multiple that by 30 and you get an average of 60 books a month. Is that not absolute insanity? Bill Gates read about 4-7 books a month and has a reading vacation where he goes to one of his secluded properties and just read. Now with that being said, ask yourself and answer truthfully, how many books do you read a year or even a month? Your commitment to knowledge is very important and picking up a book is that gateway of you being able to transcend your situation. That $25 you're debating wether or not to invest into picking up a book at your nearest bookstore may make you millions for years to come... So ARE YOU serious about your future...?
