A Gift to My Children by Jim Rogers

A Gift to My Children

Jim Rogers wrote a book for his daughters, teaching them the way of life to achieve success and happiness. Here are the things I learned from the book:

About Life

Passion is key to happiness – “Try as many things as you can, then pursue one (or two, or three) about which you’re passionate. I became successful in investing because this is what I enjoyed most… The quickest way to success is to do what you like and give it your best. For me, my love for investing was linked to my fascination with researching amd learning in detail what was happening in different parts of the world… The least-happy people I know are those stuck in jobs they don’t love; many because they can’t imagine giving up a paycheck… People who follow their passions do not “go to work”. They get up each day and cannot wait to have more fun doing what they love to do… Even if you don’t become wealthy pursuing your passions, you will be rich with satisfaction. Plus, you’ll be happy. You can’t put a price on that.” Read more…
