As I have stated in my year 2010 posting that I have a personal reading goal of at least 15 books per year, this year is quite similar as I have managed to read more than the amount that I have set. However, I did not read very intensively in year 2011 compared to year 2010 as I have set priorities in other areas like taking up real estate courses and creating my new housing in Singapore site.

Personally, I start to love the library and the books as they provide a lot of useful information for me to enjoy. Recently, I watched a youtube video by Darren Hardy which my colleagues shared with me that made me ponder about how to make use of the knowledge that I have gained from the books I have read. I think I might have to start learning about taking notes like a student and implement the useful information that I have found in the books into my personal life.

Anyway, the following is the list of books that I have read in the year 2011:

As you can see, I have started picking up a lot on real estate books and a few books on selling. Personally, I feel that things are getting more interesting as I am planning to venture full-time into real estate in a few months time. There are a lot of people that I met tell me to stay put at my job as the economy is getting worst but I really see it as a challenge for myself to learn more through it. I know those people who gave their advice to stay put is fearful about the upcoming financial crisis and hope that I can bear through it without any problems but I feel that in life, we must always challenge ourselves in order to excel and achieve what we want. I do have a belief that we should never give in so easily to life challenges or you will not have really live a meaningful life. I do hope more people can support my point of view and wish me all the best along my journey to success.
