  Great lessons to life and investing. The good old wisdom like working hard and attention to details are always the right way to go.

  Rogers asked us to pursue our dreams too. And don't let the footsteps be stopped by anything.

  He gave an example that he did not stop traveling around the world even his father is dying as this is his passion. This is the only part in the book that I have some reservations.

  It's my belief that no one should be the centre of the world and a better choice would be to take care of our family instead of pursuing our "dreams". But ya, Rogers told us to make our own decisions too. So in the end we are responsible only to our inner self.

  You can feel his love to his daughters. A sweet read. I'm not good at figures, nor investment. But Rogers kept it so simple, I know what to do, to take care of my finance.
