Challenge With Dr. Jerry - the First

*The Book Reading Challenge*            *Our Why?* Prior to launching the Online Book Reading Challenge in the month of May 2020, we at the Topitup Media and Communication (owners of the program - Challenge With Dr, Jerry - the First) had been organizing Challenges in various aspects of life - we had held three sessions of Mindset Reset Challenge, two sessions of No Complain Challenge, two sessions of Fast From Negatives Challenge and all that but in May 2020 we decided to introduce the Online Book Reading Challenge and it has proven to be the most successful so far considering that between May and July 225 persons have taken part in the Book Reading Challenge. Why did we introduce it? We took judicial notice of the pandemic that is rocking the World right now as it were and the fact that people are forced by Government and implementers of laws to stay at home in order to be safe and so we wanted to use the situat...

About The Author - George S. Clason GEORGE SAMUEL CLASON was born in Louisiana, Missouri, in November 1847. He attended the University of Nebraska and served in the United States Army during the Spanish-American War.   A successful businessman, he founded the Clason Map Company of Denver, Colorado, and published the first road atlas of the United States and Canada. In 1926, he issued the first of a famous series of pamphlets on thrift and financial success, using parables set in ancient Babylon to make each of his points. These were distributed in large quantities by banks and insurance companies and became familiar to millions, the most famous being "The Richest Man in Babylon," the parable from which the present volume takes its title. These "Babylonian parables have become a modern inspirational

The Richest Man In Babylon By George S Clason Chapter 11 -   An Historical Sketch of Babylon In the pages of history there lives no city more glamorous than Babylon. It's very name conjures visions of wealth and splendour. Its treasures of gold and jewels were fabulous. One naturally pictures such a wealthy city as located in a suitable setting of tropical luxury, surrounded by rich natural resources of forests and mines. Such was not the case. It was located beside the Euphrates River, in a flat, arid valley. It had no forests, no mines—not even stone for building: It was not even located upon a natural trade route.

All of the resources supporting this large city were man-developed. All of its riches were man-made. Babylon possessed just two natural resources—a fertile ...

The Richest Man In Babylon By George S Clason Chapter 10 -   The Luckiest Man In Babylon At the head of his caravan, proudly rode Sharru Nada, the merchant prince of Babylon. He liked fine cloth and wore rich and becoming robes. He liked fine animals and sat easily upon his spirited Arabian stallion. To look at him one would hardly have guessed his advanced years. Certainly they would not have suspected that he was inwardly troubled. The journey from Damascus is long and the hardships of the desert many. These he minded not. The Arab tribes are fierce and eager to loot rich caravans. These he feared not for his many fleet mounted guards were a safe protection. About the youth at his side, whom he was bringing from Damascus, was he disturbed. This was Hadan Gula, the grandson of his partner of other years, Arad Gula, to whom he felt he owed a debt of gratitude which could never be repaid. He would like to do something for this grandson, but the mor...
