Verbum Humanum

Learn a specific part of the real estate business that attracts you, and steer clear of single family residence homes. With that sort of cash you should be in multiple dwelling properties, or commercial retail, industrial or office buildings. The real estate market is dead and dying a bit more, so in the next couple of years that plum bargain is going to turn up, and you can be johnny on the spot, if you have done the study and learnt what is what. One good commercial property investment and you and your future family could be set for life with a healthy tax advantaged income and growing asset base.

Sounds good to me.

Davies compiled the ten activities, believing they will make a person more interesting, based on two assumptions.  However I believe the two assumptions themselves are the point that needs to be made:

The way to be interesting is to be interested. You’ve got to find what’s interesting in everything, you’ve got to be good at noticing things, you’ve got to be good at listening. If you find people (and things) interesting, they’ll find you interesting.

Interesting people are good at sharing. You can’t be interested in someone who won’t tell you anything. Being good at sharing is not the same as talking and talking and talking. It means you share your ideas, you let people play with them and you’re good at talking about them without having to talk about yourself.

This seems obvious.
