@@@@@”Anything you care to tell them,

January 2nd, 2011 by · No Comments · Uncategorized

@@@@@”Anything you care to tell them, Sergeant?”
“Yes, sir Croft stared at them, fingering the sodden collar of his fatigue shirt”I want all you men to remember where the trail isYou can line it up by those three rocks over there, or by that little ol’ tree that’s bent in half, an’ if for any reason one of you troopers gets lost, you wanta remember what these hills look like, so’s when you head south and reach the stream, you’ll know whether to turn right or left He paused and readjusted a grenade in his belt”From now on we’re gonna be in open country, an’ you gotta keep patrol disciplineI don’t want any goddam yelling or messing around, and you damn sure better keep your eyes openWhen we cross a ridge-line we do it fast and lowIf you’re gonna walk like a bunch of sheep you’ll be ambushed He fingered his chin”I don’ know if we’re gonna make ten miles or two ’cause you can’t tell ahead of time, but we’re damn sure gonna do it right, I don’t care what distance There was a low murmur from the men, and Hearn flushed slightlyCroft had virtually contradicted him
“All right, men, let’s go,” he said sharplyThey started off in a long loose column, plodding forward wearilyThe tropical sun glared on them, reflected from every blade of grass, and dazzled their eyesThe heat made them sweat profusely; their uniforms, which had been wet first by the spray of the boat, had been unable to dry for almost twenty-four hours, and the cloth stuck dankly to their bodiesThe sweat ran into their eyes and smarted, the sun burned on their fatigue caps, the high kunai grass lashed against their faces, and the unending hills absorbed their sinewsTheir hearts would pound as they toiled up a hill, and they would sob with exertion, their faces burning with feverAn intense pendant silence had settled over the hills, become ominous at last in its depth and pervasivenessThe men had not thought about the Japanese at all while they were in the jungle; the denseness of the brush, the cruelty of the river, had absorbed all their attentionThe last thing they had considered was an ambush
But now in the great open quiet of the hills they felt a constraint and fear even through their fatigueThe hills stared down on them when they were in a valley, and in crossing a ridge-line the contrast rendered them naked, as though they could be seen for milesThe country was beautiful; the hills were tinted a canary yellow, and spread about them in an unending run of broad smooth curves, but the men did not appreciate the beau

took

was shiveringShe curled up in front of the fire with the quilt
wrapped securely around herShe was tired, so very tiredShe’d
have
a little nap until Rhett came backShe slid into a sleep so profound
that it was more nearly coma
“Exhaustion,” said the army doctor Rhett brought back from Fort
Moultrie, “and exposureIt’s a miracle your wife isn’t dead, MrLet’s hope she doesn’t lose the use of her legs; the

and lifted her in his arms”Here, now, give her to the sergeant

@@@@@
Our partnership was revivedMike’s mom had a spare room in the basement that no one usedWe cleaned it out, and began piling hundreds of comic books in that roomSoon our comic-book library was open to the publicWe hired Mike’s younger sister, who loved to study, to be head librarianShe charged each child 10 cents admission to the library, which was open from 2:30 to 4:30 pevery day after schoolThe customers, the children of the neighborhood, could read as many comics as they could in two hoursIt was a bargain for them since a comic costs 10 cents each, and they could read five or six in two hours
Mike’s sister would check the kids as they left, to make sure they weren’t borrowing any comic booksShe also kept the books, logging in how many kids showed up each day, who they were, and any comments they might haveMike and I averaged $90 per week over a threemonth periodWe paid his sister $1 a week and allowed her to read the comics for free, which she rarely did since she was always studying
Mike and F kept our agreement by working in the store every Saturday and collecting all the comic books from the different storesWe kept our agreement to the distributor by not selling any comic booksWe burned them once they got too tatteredWe tried opening a branch office, but we could never quite find someone as dedicated as Mike’s sister we could trust
At an early age, we found out how hard it was to find good staff
Three months after the library first opened, a fight broke out in the roomSome bullies from another neighborhood pushed their way in and started itMike’s dad suggested we shut down the businessSo our comic-book business shut down, and we stopped working on Saturdays at the convenience storeAnyway, rich dad was excited because he had new things he wanted to teach usHe was happy because we had learned our first lesson so w

He liked GoldsteinThe amalgam of the night, the rustling of the leaves in the wood, worked subtly on him, opening the door to all his uncertainties”Look,” he said abruptly, “what do you think of me?” He was still young enough to make this question the climax of any confidential talk Goldstein always answered a question like this by telling people what they wanted to hearHe was not being consciously dishonest; he always generated warmth for the person who asked him even if he had never been a friend”Mmm, I’d say that you’re an intelligent fellow with your feet on the groundAnd you’re kind of ambitious, which is a good thingI’d say you’ll probably go places And until this moment he had never quite liked Stanley for exactly these reasons, although he had not admitted it to himselfGoldstein had a formal respect for successBut once Stanley had exposed his weaknesses, Goldstein was ready to make virtues of all his other qualities”You’re mature for your age, very mature,” Goldstein finished

@@@@@Her
grandfather must be much, much richer than she’d imaginedWhen
Jamie
introduced her as Pierre Robillard’s granddaughter, the man nearly
split his britches bowing and scrapingScarlett smiled, remembering
Then, after Jamie left, when I told him I wanted to rent a safe box and
transfer a half million to it, I thought he’d swoon at my feetI
don’t care what anybody says, having lots of money is the best thing
in
the world”I can’t stay late,” she told Jamie when he arrived”I
hope that’s all rightYou won’t mind walking me back by
eight-thirty?”
“I’ll be honored to walk you anywhere at any time at all,” Jamie
vowed
Scarlett truly had no idea that she wouldn’t be back until almost
dawn
evening started quietly enoughSo quietly, in fact, that Scarlett was
disappointedShe’d been expecting music and dancing and some kind
of
celebration, but Jamie escorted her to the now familiar kitchen of
his houseMaureen greeted her with a kiss on each cheek and a cup
of
tea in her hand, then returned to the preparation of supper
Scarlett sat down next to Uncle James, who was dozingJamie took
off
his coat, unbuttoned hisvest, and lit a pipe, then settled down in a
rocking chair for a quiet smokeMary Kate and Helen were setting the
table in the adjoining dining room, chattering to one another over the
rattle of knives and forksIt was a comfortable family scene, but not
very excitingStill, thought Scarlett, at least there’s going to be
supperI knew Aunt Pauline and Aunt Eulalie must be wrong about
the
whole fasting nonsenseNobody would live on only one meal a day for
weeks and weeks on purpose
After a few minutes the shy girl with the cloud of beautiful dark hair
came in from the hall with little Jacky by the hand”Oh, there you
are, Kathleen,” said JamieScarlett made a mental note of the name
It suited the girl, so soft and youthful”Bring the little man to

@@@@@
INVEST FIRST IN EDUCATION: In reality, the only real asset you have is your mind, the most powerful tool we have dominion overJust as I said about the power of choice, each of us has the choice of what we put in our brain once we’re old enoughYou can watch MTV all day, or read golf magazines, or go to ceramics class or a class on financial planningMost people simply buy investments rather than
first invest in learning about investing
A friend of mine, who is a rich woman, recently had her apartment burglarizedThe thieves took her TV and VCR and left all the books she readsAnd we all have that choiceAgain, 90 percent of the population buys TV sets and only about 10 percent buy books on business or tapes on investments
So what do I do? I go to seminarsI like it when they are at least two days long because I like to immerse myself in a subjectIn 1973, I was watching TV and this guy came on advertising a three-day seminar on how to buy real estate for nothing downI spent $385 and that course has made me at least $2 million, if not moreBut more importantly, it bought me lifeI don’t have to work for the rest of my life because of that one courseI go to at least two such courses every yearThe reason: I can rewind quicklyI was listening to a tape by Peter Lynch, and he said something I completely disagreed with Instead of becoming arrogant and critical, I simply pushed “rewind” and I listened to that five-minute stretch of tape at least twenty timesBut suddenly, by keeping my mind open, I understood why he said what he saidI felt like I had a window into the mind of one of the greatest investors of our timeI gained tremendous depth and insight into the vast resources of his education and experience
The net result: I still have the old way I used to think, and I have Peter’s way of looking at the same problem or situationI have two thoughts instead of one One more way to analyze a problem or trend, and that is pricelessToday, I often say, “How would Peter Lynch do this, or Donald Trump or Warren Buffett or George Soros?” The only way I can access their vast mental power is to be humble enough to read or listen to what they have to s
