Another MeMe....Book Style

OK Vickie Barrington here is the MeMe that you requested.  Myself, along with 4 others, are supposed to respond to this request....is there a time period to respond?  Anyway I think I'm first to commit.

Here are the rules

1. Grab the nearest book.

2. Open the book to page 56.     

3. Find the fifth sentence.     

4. Post the text of the next two to five sentences. 

5. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book or the intellectual one. Pick the Closest.

6. Tag five people to do the same  

*The one book that this can not be is the Bible************************************

 Pretty simple, and seeing I usually follow the rules, I'll do this, HOWEVER, I like a few others, could not bear the pain of following through with rule #6......so 5 out of 6 isn't too bad is it Vickie?

1-3 EASY!!

#4 harder, but here goes:

What these individuals don't realize is that most big things start small.  They mistakenly believe that big success at anything requires big and mysterious things they don't have, such as the following:

Special natural abilities verses a little of some acquired aabililities.  Lots of free time versus a little bit of well spent time.  Massive amounts of money versus a little well placed money. 

Those are the next 2 to 5 sentences, they make really no sense till you know what the next sentence is....so go get the book "The Millionaire Real Estate Investor" by Gary Keller

Yeah, I know I gotta get a life outside of real estate.

Hi Dick,
I disagree, I think these sentences do make sense even without the next one.  Sounds like a book full of sage advice.

Hi Cynthia,

How 'ya been neighbor?  They do make sense to me, and now you.  These book meme's are what I don't understand....Why?  Actually I'm more of a magazine reader....short, fast, to the point, and cheap (ha,ha) Thanks for commenting! and Happy Holidays

I have that book.  I need to pull it out and take a look.  I attended a Mastermind session recently and the new "thing" that KW is focusing on is the Shift which takes a look at the shifting real estate market.

Hi Tracy,

I have read both of the KW books...this is my third.  They are pretty good, aren't they?  Thanks

Dick, this was all new to me too.  I don't think there is a time limit but I was told to keep it going.  I do understand skipping number 6 and that is certainly your choice. This sounds like a good book also.  I have read Rich Dad, Poor Dad and we can never stop learning enough about real estate and finances.

I don't blame you for reading that book, it is a great book! I truly believe if you read more books like that you will have a lot more time to read recreational books.
