Book Review

I actually ended up enjoying this book more than I thought I was going to. At first I didn't really think I would enjoy reading about economics and ways to stay out of debt. After reading a little ways into the book I really started to apreciate the tips and knowledge they share about keeping yourself out of debt. One of my favorite quotes from the book is, "Engage in one kind of business only, and stick to it faithfully until you succeed, or until your experience shows that you should abandon it." I think it's kind of ironic that the book tells us to focus solely on one type of business when in school we are raised to be well rounded and have a diverse set of skills, but in reality we probably will end up only needing one specific set of skills. Another quote I really liked from the is book is, "Firstly, repetition and reminder of the basics are important in any field of endeavor where you are actually trying to ACHIEVE something specific."  Again just comparing this to school where we go over so many different things briefly it's like the book is telling us to do something completely different than what we are doing in public schooling.
