He’s the swashbuckling world traveler and legendary investor who
made his fortune before he was forty. Now the bestselling author of
A Bull in China, Hot Commodities, and Adventure Capitalist shares a
heartfelt, indispensable guide for his daughters (and all young
investors) to find success and happiness. In A Gift to My Children,
Jim Rogers offers advice with his trademark candor and confidence,
but this time he adds paternal compassion, protectiveness, and
love. Rogers reveals how to learn from his triumphs and mistakes in
order to achieve a prosperous, well-lived life. For example:
? Trust your own judgment: Rogers sensed China’s
true potential way back in the 1980s, at a time when most analysts
were highly skeptical of its prospects for growth.
? Focus on what you like: Rogers was five when
he started collecting empty bottles at baseball games instead of
playing.
? Be persistent: Coming to Yale from rural
Alabama, and in over his head, Rogers never stopped studying and
wound up with a scholarship to Oxford.
? See the world: In 1990, Rogers traveled
through six continents by motorcycle, gaining a global perspective
and learning how to evaluate prospects in rapidly developing
countries such as Brazil, Russia, India, and China.
? Nothing is really new: anything deemed
“innovative” or “unprecedented” is usually just overhyped, as in
the case of the Internet or TV, airplanes, and railroads before
it
? And not a bit off the subject, and very
important: Boys will need you more than you’ll need them!
Wise and warm, accessible and inspiring, A Gift
to My Children is a great gift for all those just starting to
invest in their futures.
