Thank you Rich Dad, Poor Dad
CHAPTER ONE Rich Dad, Poor Dad As narrated by Robert Kiyosaki
I had two fathers, a rich one and a poor oneOne was highly educated and intelligent; he had a Phand completed four years of undergraduate work in less than two yearsHe then went on to Stanford University, the University of Chicago, and Northwestern University to do his advanced studies, all on full financial scholarshipsThe other father never finished the eighth grade Both men were successful in their careers, working hard all their livesBoth earned substantial incomesYet one struggled financially all his lifeThe other would become one of the richest men in HawaiiOne died leaving tens of millions of dollars to his family, charities and his churchThe other left bills to be paid Both men were strong, charismatic and influentialBoth men offered me advice, but they did not advise the same thingsBoth men believed strongly in education but did not recommend the same course of study If I had had only one dad, I would have had to accept or reject his adviceHaving two dads advising me offered me the choice of contrasting points of view; one of a rich man and one of a poor man Instead of simply accepting or rejecting one or the other, I found myself thinking more, comparing and then choosing for myself The problem was, the rich man was not rich yet and the poor man not yet poorBoth were just starting out on their careers, and both were struggling with money and famil | | 2:20 am |

The cost would be much higher than Carreen's share of Tara was worth, and she'd make it clear that the window was in exchange, not in additionThe Bishop would listen to reason, deville watch and then he'd tell the Mother Superior what to doScarlett's smile became warmer, wider "I'd be honored to see the Cathedral, Sister, if you're sure it's not too much trouble Pansy's mouth gaped open when she looked up at the soaring twin spires of the handsome Gothic-design Cathedral The workmen on the scaffolding that surrounded the nearly completed towers looked small and nimble, like brightly garbed squirrels high in paired treesBut Scarlett had no eyes for the drama overhead Her pulse clutch prada was quickened by the organized hubbub on the ground, the sounds of hammering, sawing, and especially by the familiar resiny smell of fresh-cut lumberOh, how she missed the lumber mills and lumberyardsHer palms itched with the yearning to run her hands over the clean wood, to be busy, to be doing something, making a difference, running things-instead of taking tea from dainty cups with washedout, dainty old ladiesScarlett heard barely a word of the descriptive wonders outlined by the young birkin hermes priest who was her escortShe did not even notice the surreptitious admiring looks of the burly laborers who stood back from their work to allow the priest and his companion free passageShe was too preoccupied to listen or noticeWhat fine straight trees had given up these timbers?

Then she could ask, could go see the mill instead of this sale gucci handbags churchScarlett scuffled her feet through a mound of fresh wood shavings and inhaled the tonic of the sharp scent of them "I must get back to the school for dinner," said the priest apologetically"Of course, Father, I'm ready to go She wasn't but what else could she say?

@@@@@It was his only chance! Then why was he @@@@@It was his only chance! Then why was he still inside? Why hadn’t his escape car fled from the area, speeding him to freedom? His back once again pressed against the wall, Jason sidestepped to his left, closely observing everything he could seeLike most armories the world over, Kubinka had no windows on the first floor, at least not for the first fifteen feet from the ground; he presumed it was because the occasional wildly galloping horses and glass did not go togetherHe could see a window frame on what appeared to be the second floor but close enough to the slain driver to afford maximum accuracy for a silenced high-powered weapon: Another frame on ground level had a knob protruding; it was the rear exit no one had bothered to mentionThe little things, the insignificant things! Goddamn! The muted music inside swelled again, but now the swelling was different, the drums louder, the trumpets more sustained, more piercingIt was the unmistakable ending of a symphonic march, martial music at its most intenseThat was it! The end of the event inside was at hand and the Jackal would use the emerging crowds to cover his escapeHe would mingle, and when panic spread through the parking area with the sight of the dead man and the shot-up sedan, he would disappear—with whom and with what vehicle would take hours to determine Bourne had to get inside; he had to stop him, take him! Krupkin had worried about the lives of “several dozen men and women”—he had no idea that in reality there were several hundred! Carlos would use whatever firepower he had stolen, including grenades, to create mass hysteria so that he could escapeLives meant nothing; if further killing was required to save his own, nothing Abandoning caution, Delta raced to the door, gripping his AK-47 laterally in his arm, the safety unlatched, his index finger on the triggerHe grabbed the knob and twisted it—it would not turn He fired his weapon into the plated metal around the lock, then a second fusillade into the opposing frame, and as he reached for the smoking knob, his personal world went mad! Out of the line of vehicles a heavy truck suddenly shot forward, coming straight toward him, wildly accelerating as it approachedSimultaneously, successive bursts of automatic gunfire Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 403 erupted, the bullets thumping into the wood to his rightHe lunged to his left, rolling on the ground, the dust and dirt filling his eyes as he kept rolling, his body a tube spinning away And then it happened! The massive explosion tore apart the door, blowing away a large section of the wall above, and through the black smoke and settling debris, he could see a figure lurching awkwardly toward the semicircle of vehiclesHis killer was getting away after all, But he was alive! And the reason for it was obvious—the Jackal had made a mistakeNot in the trap, that was extraordinary; Carlos knew his enemy was with Krupkin and the KGB and so he had gone outside and waited for himInstead, his error was in the placement of the explosivesHe had wired the bomb or bombs to the top of the truck’s engine, not underneathExplosive compounds seek release through the least resistant barriers; the relatively thin hood of a vehicle is far less solid than the iron beneath itThe bomb actually blew up, it did not blow out on ground level, sending death-inducing metal fragments along the surface No time! Bourne struggled to his feet and staggered to the Komitet sedan, a horrible fear coming into focusHe looked through the shattered windows, his eyes suddenly drawn to the front seat as a heavily fleshed hand was raisedHe yanked the door open and saw Krupkin, his large body squeezed below the seat under the dashboard, his right shoulder half torn away, bleeding flesh apparent through the fabric of his jacket “We are hurt,” said the KGB officer weakly but ca | | 2:20 am |
