Does that name ring a bell??? I didn't think so. Most people have not heard of this man, unless they have had the extraordinary privilege to have read one if his fabulous books. Antony is the author of 26 very well written books, that have a point, send a great message, and tend educate. Now 74 years old, Antony has barely been recognized, now is his time to shine. Some of you may have received a power point presentation forward on your email. Just randomly. You probably deleted it but i didn't and i am beyond happy that i did not! I opened the mysterious attached file. To my surprise it was a power point. You don't usually get those in forwards. It was in a completely different language. It turned out to be Portuguese. Me having the curious mind that i do, i decided to go to babel fish translations on the net and translate each slide. It was very touching for me, that something in a different language and from a complete stranger can move you so much. It was by far one of the most thought provoking foreign slide shows i have ever seen. The show was a lesson sort of, it was trying to get this message across; Money can't get you everything. For example, one of the slides said, money can buy you a house but not a home (a home is where the people that love you are) , another said money can buy you sex but not love, that is self explanatory. It was just kind of nice to see something that isn't brought up enough now a days. It makes you think about the important things in life, besides money. Money is all we selfish citizens of the world think about, we revolve around it. We care about status, and "mulla". The matter of fact is that when we leave this world, we will leave it with out any of our possessions, so no money , no ipods, no mansion, or hummer. Nada, now would be the time to snap back into reality, take a good look at where you are in life, and set your morals straight, and remember the most important aspects of life.
