@@@@@The
look Sharon gave me seemed designed to @@@@@The look Sharon gave me seemed designed to be followed by hostile actionBut she let Jamie go with a nod after I choked out my whispered request, and when we were alone, he held my shaking hand and told me Sharon looked the same way at anyone who interrupted her class The very worst was the time I had to find Doc, because Ian insisted on showing me the wayI could have refused, I suppose, but Jeb didn't have a problem with the arrangement, and that meant Jeb trusted Ian not to kill meI was far from comfortable with testingthat theory, but it seemed the test was inevitableIf Jeb was wrong to trust Ian, then Ian would find his opportunity soon enoughSo I went with Ian through the long black southern tunnel as if it were a trial by fire I lived through the first halfHe seemed unsurprised to see Ian tagging along beside mePerhaps it was my imagination, but I thought they exchanged a significant glanceI half expected them to strap me to one of Doc's gurneys at that pointThese rooms continued to make me feel nauseated But Doc just thanked me and sent me on my way as if he were busyI couldn't really tell what he was doing–he had several books open and stacks and stacks of papers that seemed to contain nothing but sketches On the way back, curiosity overcame my fear “Ian?” I asked, having a bit of difficulty saying the name for the first time “Yes?” He sounded surprised that I'd addressed him “Why haven't you killed me yet?” He snorted “You could, you knowJeb might be annoyed, but I don't think he'd shoot you What was I saying? It sounded like I was trying to convince him “I know,” he said, his tone complacent It was quiet for a moment, just the sounds of our footsteps echoing, low and muffled, from the tunnel walls “It doesn't seem fair,” Ian finally said“I've been thinking about it a lot, and I can't see how killing you would make anything rig | | Friday, December 31st, 2010 | | 8:26 pm |
@@@@@His shoes had filled with water and he @@@@@His shoes had filled with water and he worked his toes to warm his feetSqueegee action, he thought; probably the man who invented the squeegee had an experience like mine Ridges was watching the typhoon with panic and acceptanceMighty sponges o' God swelling, he said to himselfThe foliage of the jungle was churning turbulently, and the leaden-green sky painted it with greens so varied and brilliant that Ridges thought it looked like the Garden of EdenHe felt the throbbing of the jungle as a part of himself, the earth, which had turned to a golden mud, seemed alive to himHe kept looking at the fantastic green of the jungle and then at the orange-brown earth, febrile and pulsing as though the rain were cutting wounds into itRidges flinched before the power of it The Lord giveth and He taketh away, Ridges thought solemnlyStorms were a basic part of his life; he had come to fear them, to bear with them, and finally to expect themHe saw his father's reddened wrinkled face with the sad quiet blue eyes"I'll tell you, Ossie," his father had said, "a man works and he toils, he puts in his good sweat tryin' to pull out a livin' from the land, and when all his work is done, if the good Lord sees it fitten, it's taken away in a storm Perhaps that was the deepest truth in Ridges's nature; it seemed to him that all his life, he and his father had struggled with barren land and insects and blights, had worked their fields with one aging mule, and often as not, their work had been ruined in one black night He had helped Goldstein pound in the stakes because you helped your neighbor when he asked for it, and Ridges had decided the man you bunked with, even if he was a stranger, was still your neighbor; but secretly he had felt that their attempts to secure the tent would be uselessGod's ways were God's ways, he told himself, and a man did not try to brook themIf the storm was meant to blow away their tent, it would do it even if they had a plow to hold it downNow, because he did not know it was not raining in Mississippi, he prayed that the storm should not destroy his father's cropsThey jus' been planted, LordPlease don' wash them awayAnd even in his praying Ridges had no hope; he prayed to show that he was respectful The wind tore through the bivouac area like a great scythe, slashing the palm fronds from the coconut trees, blasting the rain before itAs they looked, they saw a tent jerk upward from its mooring, and then stream away in the wind, flapping like a terrified bird"I wonder what's happening up at the front," Goldstein shoutedHe had realized with a shock that there were other bivouacs like this, scattered for miles into the jungle"Holdin' on, Ah guess," he shouted back | | Thursday, December 30th, 2010 | | 8:18 pm |

@@@@@Statistics I had never seen before, even @@@@@Statistics I had never seen before, even though I already owned a substantial share block of an existing oil companyWith that information, I immediately began looking for and found a new undervalued oil company that was about to find some oil depositsMy broker was excited about this new company, and I bought 15,000 shares for 65 cents per share In February 1997, this same friend and I drove by the same gas station, and sure enough, the price per gallon had gone up nearly 15 percentAgain, the "Chicken Little" worried and complained I smiled because in January 1997, that little oil company hit oil and those 15,000 shares went up to more than $3 per share since he had first given me the tipAnd the price of gas will continue to go up if what my friend says is true Instead of analyzing, their little chicken closes their mindIf most people understood how a "stop" worked in stock-market investing, there would be more people -investing to win instead of investing not to loseA "stop" is simply a computer command that sells your stock automatically if the price begins to drop, helping to minimize your losses and maximize some gainsIt's a great tool for those who are terrified of losing So whenever I hear people focusing on their "I don't wants," rather than what they do want, I know the "noise" in their head must be loudChicken Little has taken over their brain and is yelling, "The sky is falling and toilets are breaking So they avoid their "don't wants," but they pay a huge priceThey may never get what they want in life Rich dad gave me a way of looking at Chicken Little "Just do what Colonel Sanders did At the age of 66, he lost his business and began to live on his Social Security checkHe went around, the country selling his recipe for fried chickenHe was turned down 1,009 times before someone said "yes And he went on to become a multimillionaire at an age when most people are quitting "He was a brave and tenacious man," rich dad said of Harlan Sanders So when you're in doubt and feeling a little afraid, just do what ColSanders did to his little chickenBusy people are often the most l | | Monday, December 6th, 2010 | | 8:47 pm |
