We talk to you all the time about investing money . But money isn't everything . If you invest in yourself , you can earn returns that will last your lifetime . Have you ever walked into someone's home and not seen a single book ? It's scary ! I would rather see furniture made from the human skin than no books . I don't even believe it matters so much what you read . Sure , some things might be more beneficial than others , but I think the act itself , is what will improve your mind .
