Reading and Day dreaming

I've not really read much lately so I thought i'd order some books, I really started to enjoy reading after I found Kurzweil Book so facinating! In fact his "Age of Spiritual Machines" was the first book that I read fully and it changed my outlook on the future and he certainly has had a massive influence on the direction of my life... Thank you! -- he was also kind enough to get three autographed books sent to me last year, how awesome is that!

So anyway I thought I'd read some other stuff than technology, the future and all that kind of thing. I bought a book called "Anyone can do it" by Duncan Bannatyne and what an amazing read so far... basically he is saying that anyone can do what he did, he earned himself 160 million in a very short space of time. He left with school with no qualifications, he was really poor, and one day he decided he would become very rich. He never invented anything, he was just careful with his money and he built up small businesses. I'm only about 1/4 way through the book and so far he has led a very interesting life. He also thinks he's going to live forever, in that video on the link above he says he will live to 500 because he loves life.

I wonder why aren't more millionaires or billionaires donating to Mprize? lol. There has been a few, but I hope there will be a lot more. Maybe they are concerned about their public image, what if people say "why didn't you donate to something more important, like cancer, heart disease, children in africa" and so on. But the more people that donate the louder the message becomes. One day it will be normal for people to consider aging a disease and want to live longer than our current lifespan.

Maybe this book will inspire me to make goals for myself, to somehow make myself wealthy by working hard. 

When I become a multi-millionaire I wil help all my family out and donate loads to the mprize.

Matt, please be careful that this "make extra money" site is not a scam. If someone is going to hire you to do something, why are they going to charge you $20 dollars to find out how you can make money? Sounds like they web page owner is making $20 off many unsuspecting people who hand over their credit card information. For the $20 they probably give them some dubious information, then sell the credit card information to hackers in their net that trade credit card information for fraud. Those hackers can later charge to the credit card information, well knowing that the credit cards usually reimburse the credit card owners for fraudulent charges. I'd take this person's comment off your blog, BTW. Cheers. A
