"People from all walks of life, people with some of the most incredible life experiences, people that have gone from pennies to fortune and from failure to success have taken the time to write down their experiences so that we might share in their wealth of knowledge.   They have offered their wisdom and experience so that we can be inspired by it and instructed by it, and so that we can amend our philosophy by it.   Their contributions enable us to reset our sail based upon their experiences.   They have handed us the gift of their insights so that we can change our plans, if need be, in order to avoid their errors.   We can rearrange our lives based on their wise advice. All of the insights that we might ever need have already been captured by others in books.   The important question is this: In the last ninety days, with this treasure of information that could change our lives, our fortunes, our relationships, our health, our children and our careers for the better, how many books have we read?"
