Preface
Thank you for picking up this book. I hope these ideas help you as
much as have helped me and thousands of others. In fact, I hope that
this book changes your life forever.
There is never enough time to do everything you have to do. You are
literally swamped with work
and personal responsibilities, projects,
stacks of magazines to read and piles of books you intend to get to
one of these days
as soon as you get caught up.
