How to Become a Millionaire?

Step One to Becoming a Millionaire - Learn What You Don't Know?

My book find of the week is courtesy of Kristi Hughes who emailed to tell me about Robert Lawson's new book, "Dare to Be a Millionaire." Step No. 1 in his 20-year plan is to "learn what you don't know."
"One of the most powerful and significant investments you can make in your life lies in the development of your own abilities and potential," says Dr. Lawson. "The more skilled and adept you become at helping yourself, the more you will be able to empower and help others."
Good advice, especially this week, when we're spotlighting eight considerations when thinking about going back to school. Perhaps our list needs another item: How will school help you develop your natural abilities?

Kids and Popularity – What Can A Dad Do To Help Kids Cope

There is intense pressure on children to be popular at school or among friends. For tweens and teens, it can almost dominate their lives. The right friends, the right labels, the right gadgets seem so totally essential. And yet popularity seems to evade many children, youth and teens. How can a father help his children see popularity in its true light and help them cope in a world where popularity seems so important?

Mitch Albom is a columnist for the Detroit Free Press and took on 26 year old New York Jets player Antonio Cromartie for having fathered 8 children with 6 women and not even being able to remember their names. But, after all, four of them are three years old. Albom writes, in part:

Cromartie is the new face of irresponsible fatherhood. But while he has more than earned the honor (the Jets, according to reports, had to front him $500,000 for paternity suits), he is hardly alone.

Fathering kids as if you're watering plants is a growing problem in the sports world, particularly in African-American circles. And if we are going to talk about this issue, we need to drop our sensitivities toward this fact.

It is so hard for me to understand the mentality of a man who takes fatherhood, not to mention unprotected sex, with such a cavalier attitude. Most men, at least the ones I know, make responsible choices and understand consequences. So guys, let's not look at some of these NFL stars just based on their on-field play, but let's remember that life is one great whole, and not divisible into parts. Fatherhood is all about living responsibly and taking responsibility for our actions.

Salman no longer interested in Katrina Kaif, He wants Deepika Pandokone now

Salman wants Deepika Padukone for the remake of the South film Bodyguard

Buzz is that Atul Agnihotri's remake of the South flick Bodyguard with brother-in-law Salman Khan will star Deepika Padukone. Katrina Kaif was Atul's first choice but Sallu feels the Om Shanti Om girl is more apt for the role.

A source says, "Salman is keen on working with Deepika. He feels they will look good on screen.

When Atul suggested Katrina's name, he shot it down saying the project needed a fresh pairing. He's watched the original and thought Deepika would fit the role perfectly."

Both Sallu and Dippy have had opportunities to work together in the past. The star wanted to work with her in Anees Bazmee's Ready, but talks fizzled out and Asin stepped in.

Salman and Kat were last seen together in Yuvvraaj (2008). Even though the film didn't work at the box-office, they had offers to work together. However, both chose not to work opposite each other. While Salman signed Zarine Khan for his home production Veer, Kat went on a signing spree with Ranbir Kapoor.

The source adds that the star is keen on repeating Zarine in Sajid Nadiadwala's Kick. "He's keen on signing new talent as opposed to working with the same faces."

Atul remained unavailable for comment.

Bodyguard is about...
A young man who is attracted to people with heroic qualities and follows them like a bodyguard. But the twist comes when he is hired to accompany a businessman's gorgeous daughter to college as a bodyguard. The Malayalam film Bodyguard features Dileep and Nayantara. Its Tamil version is being made with Asin and Vijay.
