@@@@@But now he was not so assuredHe had a sense @@@@@But now he was not so assuredHe had a sense of foreboding for an instant The abortive fight over, they stood silently behind the ramp, feeling the lethargic sullen power of the ocean beneath the thin metal of the deckRed had joined them, and they stood quiet, hunched against the spray, shivering from time to timeStanley and Croft began talking again about the patrol, and Red listened with dull resentmentHis back was aching, which made him irritableThe slapping and pounding of the assault boat, the constraint of the cots and men in their tiny space, even the sound of Stanley's voice, were offensive "You know," Stanley was confiding to Croft, "I'm not saying I'm happy about the patrol, but still it's going to be an experience, you knowYou can't be a lower kind of noncom than I am, but still you got duties, and you need experience to carry it out right His speech had a modest tone, too modest for Red, who snorted scornfully "Jus' keep your eyes open," Croft said"Most of the men in the platoon walk around like a bunch of goddam sheep lookin' at the ground Red sighed to himselfStanley's ambition made him contemptuous, but there was an uneasy basis to his scorn which he partially understoodHe was the least bit enviousThe contradiction ended by depressing himAaah, he thought, every man jack eats his heart out, and what does it get him? He could see Stanley rising higher and higher in the months to come, and yet he would never be happyAny of us'll be lucky if we don't get a bullet in our gutHe felt his skin tightening across his back, and despite himself he turned around to look at the bare metal wall of the bow rampSince the day when he had lain helpless on the ground waiting for the Japanese soldier to kill him he had been feeling a recurring anxietyOften in the night he would awaken with a start, and turn around in his blankets, trembling unreasonably What the hell do I want to be a noncom for? he asked himselfYou get a guy killed in your squad and you never stop thinking about itI don't want to take no orders from nobody, and I don't want nobody to give 'em to meHe looked at Hearn standing in the rear of the boat, and felt a dull anger working in his thro | | Sunday, January 2nd, 2011 | | 2:31 am |

@@@@@“That bastard can’t come back
“You flooded @@@@@“That bastard can’t come back “You flooded the tunnel,” said Bourne simply“How did you know it was him?” Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 435 “You didn’t have an automatic weapon, but he didFrankly, I thought Krupkin’s prophecy was—shall we say—borne out? You were dead, and the man who killed you would take the quickest way outThis was it and the uniform confirmed itEverything suddenly made sense from the ‘Spanish’ compound down “How did you get that crowd away?” “I told them barges were being sent to take them across the river—about two miles north Speaking of Krupkin, I’ve got to get you out of hereCome on, the helicopter pad’s about a half a mile awayHurry up, for God’s sake!” “Krupkin’s instructions?” “Choked from his hospital bed, in as much anger as in shock “What do you mean?” “You might as well knowSomeone up in the rarefied circle—Krupkin doesn’t know who— issued the order that you weren’t to leave here under any conditionsPut plainly, it was unthinkable, but then no one ever thought that the whole goddamned Novgorod would go up in flames, either, and that’s our cover “Ours?” “I’m not your executioner, somebody else isThe word never reached me and in this mess it won’t now “Wait a minute! Where’s the chopper taking me?” “Cross your fingers, Professor, and hope Krupkin and your American friend know what they’re doingThe helicopter takes you to Yelsk, and from there a plane to Zomosc across the Polish border, where an ungrateful satellite has apparently permitted a CIA listening post “Christ, I’ll still be in Soviet bloc territory!” “The implication was that your people are ready for you “Ben,” said Jason, studying the young man“Why are you doing this? You’re disobeying a direct order—” “I received no order!” broke in the Russian“And even if I had, I’m no unthinking robotYou had an arrangement and you fulfilled your endAlso, if there’s a chance for my mother—” “There’s more than a chance,” interrupted Bourne “Come on, let’s go!

@@@@@It was nearly 1:30 in the morning, and @@@@@It was nearly 1:30 in the morning, and except for a few stragglers with too much vodka in them, the street was desertedIn moments an upright figure, silhouetted in the wash of a streetlamp, emerged from a storefront, perhaps thirty meters away on the rightIt was the Jackal, still in the black cloth and the white collar of a priestHe beckoned the general to join him as he walked slowly to a dark brown car parked directly across the street Rodchenko caught up with the assassin, now standing on the curb side of the vehicle, which faced the direction of the Lastochka restaurant Suddenly, the Jackal snapped on a flashlight, its powerful beam shooting through the open window of the carThe old soldier momentarily stopped breathing, his heavy-lidded eyes scanning the horrible scene in front of himAcross the seat, the KGB agent behind the wheel was arched back, his throat cut, a river of blood drenching his clothesImmediately beyond the window was the second surveillance, his wrists and feet bound by wire, a thick rope strapped around his face, yanked taut against his gaping mouth, gagging him, permitting only a rattling, gasping coughHe was alive, his eyes wide in terror “The driver was trained at Novgorod,” said the general, no comment in his voice “I know,” replied CarlosThat training’s not what it was, comrade “This other one is Krupkin’s liaison here in MoscowThe son of a good friend, I’m told “What are you going to do?” asked Rodchenko, staring at the Jackal Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 379 “Correct a mistake,” answered Carlos as he raised his gun, the silencer in place, and fired three bullets into the general’s throat Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 380 37 The night sky was angry, the storm clouds over Moscow swirling, colliding, promising rain and thunder and lightningThe brown sedan sped down the country road, racing past overgrown fields, the driver maniacally gripping the wheel and sporadically glancing at his bound prisoner, a young man who kept straining at his wire-bound hands and feet, his rope-strapped face causing him enormous pain, attested to by his constant grimace and his bulging frightened eyes In the rear seat, the upholstery covered with blood, were the corpses of General Grigorie Rodchenko and the KGB Novgorod graduate who headed the old soldier’s surveillance team Suddenly, without slowing down the car or giving any indication of his action, the Jackal saw what he was looking for and swerved off the roadTires shrieking in the side-winding turn, the sedan plunged into a field of tall grass and in seconds came to a shatteringly abrupt stop, the bodies in the rear crashing into the back of the front seatCarlos opened his door and lurched outside; he proceeded to yank the blood-drenched corpses from their upholstered crypts and dragged them into the high grass, leaving the general partially on top of the Komitet officer, their life fluids now mingling as they soiled the ground He returned to the car and brutally pulled the young KGB agent out of the front seat with one hand, the glistening blade of a hunting knife in his other “We have a lot to talk about, you and I,” said the Jackal in Russia | | Friday, December 31st, 2010 | | 2:31 am |

@@@@@I was active in my asset column I traded @@@@@I was active in my asset column I traded real estate and small stocks Rich dad always stressed the importance of financial literacyThe better I was at understanding the accounting and cash management, the better I would be at analyzing investments and eventually starting and building my own company I would not encourage anyone to start a company unless they really want toKnowing what I know about running a company, I would not wish that task on anyoneThere are times when people cannot find employment, where starting a company is a solution for them The odds are against success: Nine out of 10 companies fail in five years Of those that survive the first five years, nine out of every 10 of those eventually fail, as well So only if you really have the desire to own your own company do I recommend itOtherwise, keep your daytime job and mind your own businessWhen I say mind your own business, 1 mean to build and keep your asset column strongOnce a dollar goes into it, never let it come outThink of it this way, once a dollar goes into your asset column, it becomes your employeeThe best thing about money is that it works 24 hours a day and can work for generations Keep your daytime job, be a great hard-working employee, but keep building that asset column As your cash flow grows, you can buy some luxuriesAn important distinction is that rich people buy luxuries last, while the poor and middle class tend to buy luxuries firstThe poor and the middle class often buy luxury items such as big houses, diamonds, furs, jewelry or boats because they want to look richThey look rich, but in reality they just get deeper in debt on creditThe old-money people, the long-term rich, built their asset column first Then, the income generated from the asset column bought their luxuriesThe poor and middle class buy luxuries with their own sweat, blood and children's inheritance A true luxury is a reward for investing in and developing a real assetFor example, when my wife and I had extra money coming from our apartment houses, she went out and bought her Merced | | 2:26 am |

Thank goodness they're having fun and are distracted by the desire to win the game, I said to myselfAfter Robert ended the contest, he allowed us fifteen minutes to discuss and critique CASHFLOW among ourselves The business owner at my table was not happyHe did not like the game"I don't need to know this," he said out loud"I hire accountants, bankers and earring chanel attorneys to tell me about this stuff To which Robert replied, "Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of accountants who aren't rich?

@@@@@Statistics I had never seen before, even @@@@@Statistics I had never seen before, even though I already owned a substantial share block of an existing oil companyWith that information, I immediately began looking for and found a new undervalued oil company that was about to find some oil depositsMy broker was excited about this new company, and I bought 15,000 shares for 65 cents per share In February 1997, this same friend and I drove by the same gas station, and sure enough, the price per gallon had gone up nearly 15 percentAgain, the "Chicken Little" worried and complained I smiled because in January 1997, that little oil company hit oil and those 15,000 shares went up to more than $3 per share since he had first given me the tipAnd the price of gas will continue to go up if what my friend says is true Instead of analyzing, their little chicken closes their mindIf most people understood how a "stop" worked in stock-market investing, there would be more people -investing to win instead of investing not to loseA "stop" is simply a computer command that sells your stock automatically if the price begins to drop, helping to minimize your losses and maximize some gainsIt's a great tool for those who are terrified of losing So whenever I hear people focusing on their "I don't wants," rather than what they do want, I know the "noise" in their head must be loudChicken Little has taken over their brain and is yelling, "The sky is falling and toilets are breaking So they avoid their "don't wants," but they pay a huge priceThey may never get what they want in life Rich dad gave me a way of looking at Chicken Little "Just do what Colonel Sanders did At the age of 66, he lost his business and began to live on his Social Security checkHe went around, the country selling his recipe for fried chickenHe was turned down 1,009 times before someone said "yes And he went on to become a multimillionaire at an age when most people are quitting "He was a brave and tenacious man," rich dad said of Harlan Sanders So when you're in doubt and feeling a little afraid, just do what ColSanders did to his little chickenBusy people are often the most l | | 2:26 am |

"What intensifies fear and desire is @@@@@ "What intensifies fear and desire is ignoranceThat is why rich people with lots of money often have more fear the richer they getMoney is the carrot, the illusionIf the donkey could see the whole picture, it might rethink its choice to chase the carrot Rich dad went on to explain that a human's life is a struggle between ignorance and illumination He explained that once a person stops searching for information and knowledge of one's self, ignorance sets inThat struggle is a moment-to-moment decision-to learn to open or close one's mind "Look, school is very, very importantYou go to school to learn a skill or profession so as to be a contributing member of societyEvery culture needs teachers, doctors, mechanics, artists, cooks, business people, police officers, firefighters, soldiersSchools train them so our culture can thrive and flourish," said rich dad"Unfortunately, for many people, school is the end, not the beginning There was a long silenceI did not comprehend everything he said that dayBut as with most great teachers, whose words continue to teach for years, often long after they're gone, his words are still with me today "I've been a little cruel today," said rich dadI want you to always remember this talkI want you to always think of MrsI want you always to think of the donkeyNever forget, because your two emotions, fear and desire, can lead you into life's biggest trap, if you're not aware of them controlling your thinkingTo spend your life living in fear, never exploring your dreams, is cruelTo work hard for money, thinking that money will buy you things that will make you happy is also cruelTo wake up in the middle of the night terrified about paying bills is a horrible way to liveTo live a life dictated by the size of a paycheck is not really a lifeThinking that a job will make you feel secure is lying to yoursel |
