@@@@@He bent one arm around Scarlett’s neck and held her
heavy head in his hand while he swam expertly through a breaking
wave
and used its power to carry them into the shallowsA thin rain was
falling, blown almost horizontal by the gusting windRhett cradled
Scarlett’s limp form to his chest and huddled over it, kneeling in the
white frothing edge of the water
A comber rose far behind him and raced toward the beachIt began
to
curl over on itself, then the foam-streaked gray water crashed, surged
toward land, and the rolling, roiling forces in it struck Rhett’s back
and roared across his sheltering bodyWhen the wave had passed
over
and spent itself, he rose unsteadily to his feet and stumbled forward
onto the beach, clasping Scarlett to himHis bare feet and legs were
cut in a hundred places by the fragments of shell that the breaker had
thrown against him, but he was uncaring
He ran clumsily through the deep clinging sand to an opening in the
line of immense sand dunes and climbed a short way into a bowl-like
area sheltered from the windsThere he gently placed Scarlett’s body
on the soft sandHis voice broke as he called Scarlett’s name over
and over again while he tried to bring life into her chilled whiteness
by rubbing every part of her with his two handsHer snarled,
glistening black hair was spilled around her head and shoulders and
her
black eyebrows and lashes were shocking streaks across her colorless
wet faceRhett slapped her cheeks softly and urgently with the backs
of his fingersWhen her eyes opened their color looked as strong as
emeraldsRhett shouted in primitive triumphScarlett’s fingers half
closed around the shifting solidity of the rain-hardened sandAnd she began to cry in gasping sobsRhett put one arm
under her shoulders and lifted her into the protection of his bent
crouching bodyWith his free hand he touched her hair, her cheeks,
mouth, chinI thought I’d lost youI thought
I’d killed you
I thought- Oh, Scarlett, you’re aliveDon’t cry, my dearest, it’s all
overEverything-” He kissed her
forehead, her throat, her cheeksScarlett’s pale skin warmed with
color, and she turned her head to meet his kissed with her ownAnd
there was no cold, no rain, no weakness-only the burning of Rhett’s
lips on her lips, on her body, the heat of his h

@@@@@So you boys go to school and get your college degreesI’ll teach you how to stay out of the trap
The pieces of the puzzle were appearingMy highly educated dad had a great education and a great careerBut school never told him how to handle money or his fearsIt became clear that I could learn different and important things from two fathers
“So you’ve been talking about the fear of not having moneyHow does the desire of money affect our thinking?” Mike asked
“How did you feel when I tempted you with a pay raise? Did you notice your desires rising?”
We nodded our heads
“By not giving in to your emotions, you were able to delay your reactions and thinkThat is most importantWe will always have emotions of fear and greedFrom here on in, it is most important for you to use those emotions to your advantage and for the long term, and not simply let your emotions run you by controlling your thinkingMost people use fear and greed against themselvesThat’s the start of ignoranceMost people live their lives chasing paychecks, pay raises and job security because of the emotions of desire and fear, not really questioning where those emotion-driven thoughts are leading themIt’s just like the picture of a donkey, dragging a cart, with its owner dangling a carrot just in front of the donkey’s noseThe donkey’s owner may be going where he wants to go, but the donkey is chasing an illusionTomorrow there will only be another carrot for the donkey
“You mean the moment I began to picture a new baseball glove, candy and toys, that’s like a carrot to a donkey?” Mike askedAnd as you get older, your toys get more expensiveA new car, a boat and a big house to impress your friends,” said rich dad with a smile”Fear pushes you out the door, and desire calls to youEnticing you toward the rocks

@@@@@ Croft stared at him with a mild pity, mixed with a trace of disgustIf a man gets wounded, it’s his own goddam fault, Croft thought
They knelt in the grass around him, careful to keep their heads lowWilson had become unconscious again”How’re we going to get him back?” Goldstein asked in a whisper
“Let me worry about that,” Croft murmured coldlyHe was concerned with something else for the momentWilson had been groaning loudly, and if the Japs were still in the grove they must have heard himIt was inconceivable that they wouldn’t have come out to kill him, and therefore the only answer was that they had retreatedTheir fire had been too sporadic, too small in volume, to have come from more than a squad of menUndoubtedly it had been only an outpost with orders to retreat if any patrols were sighted
Then the entrance to the pass was no longer guardedHe wondered if he should leave Wilson, and take the others with him on a reconnaissanceBut it seemed pointless; there would certainly be more Japs deeper in the pass, and they would never get throughTheir only chance was to go over the mountainHe stared up at it again, and the sight roused a delicate shiver of anticipation
There was Wilson to be taken care ofAnd he had to face something elseWhen the ambush had started, he had been paralyzed for a few secondsIt had not been fear, he had merely been unable to moveIn remembering this he felt a little balked, almost teased, as if he had missed an opportunity He was uncertain, but the emotion was similar to the one he felt now because he could not reconnoiter the passThere had been a gap before he fired, and in thatSomething he had wantedI fugged up, he told himself bitterly, not quite certain of what he me

@@@@@The unlucky parents who did not find a doll were forced to buy another toy for ChristmasThe incredible popularity of the Tickle Me Elmo doll made no sense to me, but it serves as an excellent example of supply and demand economicsThe same thing goes on in the stock, bond, real estate and baseball-card marketsFor instance, utilizing a corporation wrapped around the technical skills of accounting, investing and markets can aid explosive growthAn individual with the knowledge of the tax advantages and protection provided by a corporation can get rich so much faster than someone who is an employee or a small-business sole proprietorIt’s like the difference between someone walking and someone flyingThe difference is profound when it comes to long-term wealthTax advantages: A corporation can do so many things that an individual cannotLike pay for expenses before it pays taxesThat is a whole area of expertise that is so exciting, but not necessary to get into unless you have sizable assets or a business
Employees earn and get taxed and they try to live on what is leftA corporation earns, spends everything it can, and is taxed on anything that is leftIt’s one of the biggest legal tax loopholes that the rich useThey’re easy to set up and are not expensive if you own investments that are producing good cash flowFor example; by owning your own corporation – vacations are board meetings in HawaiiCar payments, insurance, repairs are company expensesHealth club membership is a company expenseMost restaurant meals are partial expensesAnd on and on – but do it legally with pre-tax dollarsProtection from lawsuitsWe live in a litigious societyEverybody wants a piece of your actionThe rich hide much of their wealth using vehicles such as corporations and trusts to protect their assets from creditorsWhen someone sues a wealthy individual they are often met with layers of legal protection, and often find that the wealthy person actually owns nothingThey control everything, but own nothi
