Library Book

I just got home from the library with the book entitled "The 21 Success Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires" by Brian Tracy among other books. It bothers me that people write in books and I've been going through it erasing lots of pencil marks, writing and underlining.

Why are people so disrespectful? It's not much different than writing on a wall in an elevator, bathroom stall, spray paint graffiti, etc. Sure, only the people that get this book will see it, but still... if you want to write in a book, go to the book store and buy your own to mark up!

•••UPDATE••• I just finished reading this book, it was a short read with good info. There are a few things I want to quote from the book as follows:

• Every time you practice self-discipline, your self-esteem goes up. You like and respect yourself even more.

• You are like a chameleon in that you take on the attitudes, behaviors, values, and beliefs of the people with whom you associate most of the time. If you want to be a successful person, associate with positive people. Associate with people who are optimistic and happy and who have goals and who are moving forward in their lives. At the same time, get away from negative, critical, complaining people.

• Unsuccessful people are indecisive. They know that they should do or stop doing certain things, but they do not have the character or the willpower to make firm decisions. As a result, they drift through life, never happy, fulfilled, or successful. They never become wealthy or achieve financial independence. They settle for far less than is possible for them.
