Hi MM
Wow, the library's at yr doorstep . How marvellous. I will look for it on my next trip to the NLB.

Read Showing Up for Life: Thoughts on the Gifts of a Lifetime by Bill Gates Sr today. Its an easy to read book. The book comprises of articles where he explored family, friends and his work with Bill and Merlinda Foundation, among other things.

It covers alot of ground for a 185 page book. Throughout the book, you can read his humility and sincerity. When asked what's the secret in raising fantastic kids such as Bill Gates, he replied "It's a secret alright... cos' I don't get it either".

Available from your local library.

Rereading "Conversations with God" again ..

=================================


1) The only one purpose for all life, is to experience fullest glory

2) Life is not a school. We are not here to learn lessons. We are here to remember and re-create "Who You Are".

3) The souls's only desire is to turn it's greatest concept of itself, into it's greatest experience.

Example: You cant know yourself as generous unless you do something that displays generosity.

4) My purpose for you, is that you should know yourself as me

5) There's no coincidence. Nothing happens by accident. Each event is called to Your Self, by Your Self, in order that you might create and experience " Who You Are"
