(Excerpt
from No Condition is Permanent)

How often do you read? The late Earl
Nightingale, a pioneer in the area
of self-help, said that if we read
one hour a day on any specific subject,
in five years we would become a national
expert; in ten years we would have
the equivalent of a Ph.D.
You might not be able to study one
subject every day for one hour for
five or ten years, but you can certainly
try. Many people graduate from high
school or college and say to themselves,
“Thank God I am through with
school. I will never open another
book!”
Wrong!
School never ends. A graduation is
merely the beginning of our learning
journey. That is why they call the
graduation ceremony the commencement
ceremony. It is the beginning of learning.
You
might say, “I don’t have
time to read. By the time I get out
of work, I have to take care of a
thousand things.” All you are
telling me is that you are not serious
about reaching the top of your field.
Time is completely relative.

I can hear someone saying, “How
can that be possible?” It’s
very easy, and I’m not talking
about peripheral knowledge; I’m
talking about specific and useable
ideas that can make a significant
difference in your life. Let’s
say you bought a book by business
and management expert, Tom Peters,
or one by an expert in your field.
Do
you realize that the author has condensed
thirty or more years of his best knowledge
into only two to three hundred pages?
What if you could digest every one
of his ideas and use them? It would
cost you approximately $25. Is it
possible to get thirty years of education
anywhere for $25?
self
help books are many on the market.
However, many of those
self help books are not worth your
time and effort. We will continue
to update this page with some of the

help books can have a strong positive
impact on your children. Our advice

you are sending a subliminal message
to them.
