What Will The Future Hold?Robert Kiyosaki, author of the Rich Dad Poor Dad series of books, impacted the way I choose to live my life. He introduced me to seeing the world through different eyes. I loved The Cash Flow Quadrant the most. Now, in short 20 chapters, Chris Martenson has summarised many of the ideas Kiyosaki had been writing about and he does so by getting right into the details. In a Crash Course that took him 4 years to create and research, he is now distributing it for free. Take The Crash Course now. What is it about? It is about how our economy, our ever-dwindling supply of oil and our exhausted resources may eventually culminate in disaster.

I heard it's very good for posting quick thoughts and ideas. I can see the appeal. I don't have to think too much about what to write about and how to write it. That does take too long. So today, I finally opened up an account and logged in. There are a few prominent individuals, personalities and organisations there using it for what they do, so I can get a summary of what they are all doing at a glance. So, I decided to join.
