Goal of the day: 966 words<\/a>. Written: 284<\/b>.<\/p>\n

This book is... Well, I'd better let me just quote it: 'ISBN 978-9986-16-5...'<\/span><\/p>\n

Oi. I'm not sure what I meant by that myself. I'd better start again.<\/p>\n

I found this book in the old book house \"\u017dmoni\u0173 knygos\" in Kaunas. If anything, I go there and bring my own books that I've read and don't want to read again in the future.<\/p>\n

And I picked it up because it cost very little, and it was translated by Au\u0161ra Maldeikien\u0117. Yes, the same plump economics auntie who says all sorts of things out loud. I liked her two years ago, so of course I'm picking up her translation!<\/p>\n

I took it. I read it. I read it.<\/p>\n

To put it crudely, I learned very little from this book.<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. It is difficult to read.<\/strong> The authors write in that typical lecturer's way - a wall of text. No rhythm, no paragraphs, no strong lines (which are the most important to remember) - just text. And what a text! It's hard to write.<\/li>\n
  2. The studies were based on.<\/strong> And that's why I love authors. I love all people who rely on research, not just their personal guesses. (Except for love letter writers and poets.)<\/li>\n
  3. Written mainly for business, in business language.<\/strong> Which is great, because life is a big business - politics, persuasions, earnings, adjustments - but it was all too much for me. Too much talk for business and not enough for a person who is building a business with just himself.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I found some interesting observations. Ideas. Thoughts.<\/p>\n

    But not so much that they alone make it worth reading this book, or now looking for those few sentences to quote to you.<\/p>\n

    A good book. But it would be better if only 20% of it remained.<\/p>\n

    Oh, that's right:<\/strong><\/p>\n
