WHY IS THIS BOOK GOING OUT OF PRINT? IT DESERVES THE STATUS OF "Classic", and should NEVER go out of print! I hope to use its principles to get copies for all my friends and relatives, in the next 5 years or so! IF THIS BOOK DOESN'T MAKE ONE A MILLIONAIRE, IT WILLD E F I N I T E L Y....LET YOU KNOW HOW MILLIONAIRES THINK!!!!PLEASE KEEP THIS 5 STAR....NO, 100 STAR! BOOK IN PRINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...........................................................THIS BOOK, "The 10 Top Distinctions Between The Rich And The Middle Class", CAN BE READ IN NEAT LITTLE SECTIONS! This is especially impoertant for those who, like me, grew up with TV -- and, despite TVs many wonders, have, (due to 10 minute segments between commercials), had our attention spans totally, (or almost), decimated -- making reading of most books difficult at best. (Is this how "Farenheit 451" becomes reality?_Luckily, a wonderful book like this one, is, as I have said, divided into neat, easy-to-read sections. One need not read it all the way through! It's a small book -- but full of wisdom and VERY good advice.AMAZON.COM, and the publishers, (and probably the writer), have also graciously allowed would-be buyers a "peek" inside this book! My advice:read the "peek", then buy the book. The "peek" consists of a listing of the "10 Top Distinctions", the book itself is an enlarged, elucidation of these 10. The language is simple, yet full of wisdom. For instance:7: Millionaires Take Calculated Risks. The Middle Class Is Afraid ToTake Risks:The Middle Class is trapped in the rat-race because it doesn't takerisks. The only way out of the rat-race is to take risks. Theonly way out of the rat-race is to take risks. No, that is not atypo. I intentionally wrote it twice. In fact, let me write itonce more. The only way out of the rat race is to take risks. IfYou take risk out of life, you take opportunity out of life.Taking a risk doesn't mean taking a shot in the dark.Millionaires take CALCULATED risks. What does "calculated" mean?It means to gain knowledge first, and to consider the consequencesof failing before taking the action.......................Millionaires practice risk management. One ofthe simplest ways to manage risk I learned from my mentor, NidoQubein. He taught me to ask three questions...1) What's the best thing that could happen?2) What's the worst thing that can happen?3) What's the most likely thing to happen?Simple, straightforward, EASILY-UNDERSTOOD advice. It runs allthrough the 112 pages of this small, easily-understood, just-aboutindespensible book. The print is of a nice, large size too...witha nice bit of spacing between the lines, to make it easily-read -- delightfully complimenting the easily-understood writing style.Another snippet of information I got from reading a random paragraph in this book, (can't find it just now), which mentioned that millionaires talk mainly to other millionaires, and not to "ordinary" people. THIS IS N O T DUE TO ANY SNOBBISHNESS ON THEIR PARTS, BUT SIMPLY AS A SELF-PRESERVATION DEVICE. M O S T people talk about other people, or about things. Millionaires talk about I D E A S. Probably, a millionaire will gladly speak to a "millionaire-in-the-making"....a person who, though not (yet) rich, ALSO speaks mainly of ideas, (and not people or things) -- but most millionaires do NOT want to spend time speaking to people who's main conversation topics are what is going on in the lives of Hollywood celebrities, or latest designs in sports cars.Why? Because millionaires want to LEARN things -- that's why they talk mainly about IDEAS. The thought came to me to equate this to the following: If you are a person, say, who wants to write a book on Sir Laurence Olivier, you probably would NOT spend your time speaking to "Tony Manero", (the character played by John Travolta in "Saturday Night Fever") -- as Mr. Manero knew of Laurence Olivier ONLY as a guy on TV who advertised Polaroid Cameras! In a millionaire's eyes, everyone may be equal, and have equal access to the Public Library...but speaking to anyone who's PRESENT msin interest is what went on on a popular TV show, last night, or Jessica Simpson's, (or any other celebrity's), new hair-style or career move, will not, in the millionaire's mind, expand HIS (the millionaire's), horizons one bit! And learning and expanding horizons are one of the, (intertwining!), distinctions, (this one being Number 6), betweeen Millionaires and the Middle class.THIS IS NOT A SNOB BOOK. THIS IS A BOOK ANYONE, LIVING IN A FREE SOCIETY, CAN LEARN FROM....AND BECOME RICH FROM!Sadly, though, the publishers of this truly essential, classic book, have seen fit to publish it on inferiour, semi-newsprint paper (!) This is all the more astonishing, since the book not only, (as I have said),has very well spaced, and larger-size print -- but also has a binding of the second-highest quality! (No -- not sewn with sections, but it does have a general sewn-binding for all the pages together.) Perhaps this poor-quality paper the author's and publisher's gentle way of saying, "time's going fast...read and use this book before the paper crumbles!" -- but a book of this, (just about classic!) quality deserves good quality paper, nonetheless!money....money....money....money....money...moneyWhen I was going to public school, I begged and begged my parents to send me to private school, (which, of course, they couldn't afford.) Although our public school district, (No. 26 in Queens, NY), was counted amongst the best, I still KNEW, somewhere in my heart, that private schools were somehow, someway, different and better. I never knew WHY I thought this...but I just KNEW it. Now, finally, I think I know why I thought this. Rightly or wrongly, I believed that in public schoolthey taught the three Rs, history, music, art -- and how to be a "good little member of the general public." But in Private Schools -- or so I rightly or wrongly thought -- THEY TAUGHT HOW TO MAKE (LOTS OF!) MONEY IN A LEGAL, MORAL WAY.....JUST WHAT IS INSIDE THIS BOOK!Whether all, (or even most) private schools teach these lessons, I do not know. But, thankfully, (very thankfully!), they are available now, for anyone to read and study, in the pages of this wonderful small book!Whether a reader becomes a millionaire or not from it, is basically up to the individual -- but trying to apply as many of these 10 distinctions to one's own life, cannot but help! At any rate, it is aFIRST-RATE ALTERNATIVE TO ALL THE NEGATIVITY THAT SEEMS TO BE PERVADING LIFE TODAY! Read this little treasure -- and apply as much of it as you can to your own life! Even if you don't become a millionaire, you will know how people become millionaires! Pass it on to your children, and give it as birthday presents to those you love to be with.The rich are really NOT that much different than you or I -- all they do is THINKa little differently!
