READ ME OR RUE IT

Yesterday, I was talking here about a book from Lara. I haven't finished reading that book yet because the moment I started reading it, I remembered that Uncle Dale also lent me a booklet last January, it's title is Read Me Or Rue It.

The booklet is merely 55 pages and it's long been overdue. Uncle Dale was asking me if I finished it already and I promised him to finish it before the week ends. So, instead of reading The Price of Opportunity, I decided to read the "Read Me" booklet first.

I already read about 9 pages of it and it told the story of suffering souls and purgatory. Not all people are believers of the purgatory. I finished the booklet in an hour and as I flipped the pages, I realized more and more that I have wasted so much time in not reading the booklet the moment I received it.

If you're not comfortable with the topic on purgatory, you may skip reading this post. I learned from the book that there are millions of souls suffering and we can help them. We can help them by offering our prayers for them. About one-third of the book consists of prayers that we can offer to alleviate the sufferings of our departed loved ones.

I googled the title of the book and found out that the whole publication is also available for free i the internet. You can browse through the following websites to read for yourselves:

• http://www.holy-souls.com/read_me_or_rue_it.htm
• http://www.sufferingsouls.com/part3.htm
• http://www.ewtn.com/library/SPIRIT/READRUE.TXT
• http://www.theworkofgod.org/Library/Purgatry/Readme.htm

It's okay if you're busy, if you don't have the time, MAKE TIME.

The Price of Opportunity

Lara lent me a book entitled The Price of Opportunity by Dr. Bill Quain. Honestly, I have not read a single page of it. I'll start to read it today. The cover of the book says that it's all about the relationship between prices and profits - and what it means to your business.

I always wanted to have my own business. I was the proprietor/manager of our small restaurant at the age of 20. I was too young then. The restaurant business only lasted for four months. I decided to give up after the cook died. I wasn't able to find a suitable replacement, and I did not bother find another one. It was a hasty decision. The birth and death of the resto are hasty decisions. I promised myself not to make any decisions without studying the pros and cons of any engagement. Unfortunately, that principle made me an indecisive person.
