World Book Day: 3 Inspration Books I Want to Share

How long have you been without reading?

Do you remember the last time you read a book, where was it? Is it in an elegant and fragrant coffee shop? Or at home some afternoon?

How long has it been since you walked into a library?

“I was busy with work and had a lot of things to do. Every time I was about to pick up a book, I was always interrupted by various things……”. Is that you?

In fact, for those who really love books, no matter when and where, they can always find a corner where they can enjoy the fragrance of books.

At World Book Day, I have prepared several book lists, some of which I love, and some that I have collected and prepared to read, to share with you~

The first book: "Poor Dad Rich Dad" by Robert T. Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter.

This book is also my inspiration book into financial management. What is the biggest difference between the poor and the rich? Answer: Thinking!

The book mainly tells about Robert, who was born in a middle-class family. He has two fathers. The "poor dad" is a well-educated official, while the "rich dad" has no college education, but he is good at investing and managing money. In the vision of "Poor Dad", Robert should go to college, then have a stable and high-paying job, and embark on an ordinary life; however, "Rich Dad" believes that the poor work for money, and the rich let money work for themselves. Differences in thinking eventually lead to huge differences between rich and poor.

By analyzing the phenomenon, it introduces in detail what kind of thinking is easier to get rich, and also lists the steps to be completed to help you locate your financial situation and embark on the road of financial freedom. Even better, this is a financial education book, perfect for reading with your kids.

The second book: "Distant Saviour", author: Doudou

This book tells the story of Ding Yuanying (a man who can use the stock market as a cash machine), a business genius who once worked in a private equity firm in Germany and used the "cultural code" to plunder a large amount of cash from the Chinese stock market. But the assets were frozen, and they could only live in seclusion in the ancient city. Later, they met Rui Xiaodan, a female police officer. From acquaintance to acquaintance, they jointly created a business myth of robbing the rich and helping the poor.

When I read it for the first time, I just thought it was a novel. The description of human nature and the discussion of culture and religion in the book, and I just thought it was heart-wrenching when I read it again. The TV series "Tian Dao" is adapted from this novel, and it is also a very classic TV series in my heart.

Book Three: The Great Crash 1929, by John Kenneth Galbraith

"With history as a mirror, one can understand the rise and fall of a state"

This book comprehensively and systematically describes the economic history of the Wall Street crash in 1929. During that dark history, the stock market experienced a slump, the U.S. and European economies fell into crisis, and unemployment remained high, eventually triggering the U.S. and even the entire world. The Great Depression of ten years. The author believes that a full understanding of what happened in 1929 is the best safeguard against recurrence.

Since its publication in 1954, this book has been reprinted continuously, and Xiaohua is also planning to include this book in his book list.

    I have not been seriously reading a book for a long time now. The last read was “The Lucky One” & “Men are from mars women are from venus”. Being mindfulness is the in-thing in the past few years.
