Memoirs of a Geisha

Key_side Finishing this book was my biggest accomplishment in the Chinese New Year Holiday, I have never imagined that my reading skill was improved and the speed was steady.





The story line was simple as a girl worked hard so that she could earn her way to become the best Geisha in Gion and find love. The writing style is romantics and vivid. The books has explained the relationship between Chairman and Nobu more.





Anyway, I would like to recommend this book to you. Enjoys!

Quote for Women

From birth to age eighteen a girl needs good parents.
From eighteen to thirty-five she needs good looks.
From thirty-five to fifty-five she needs a good personality.
From fifty-five on she needs cash.

Nice Girls Don't Get Rich : 75 Avoidable Mistakes Women Make with Money

I have just bought another great book for self-improvement. So excited! This book was introduced by a booklist section from Capital Femme, my favorite monthly local women magazine. When I checked out the book title- "Nice Girls Don't Get Rich", the first thought came up in my mind were "Am I too nice? That's why I still feel broke sometimes.", "Does a mean girl get rich?", "Nice girls get rich too, Like Oprah."



Anyway, I am reading these lovely write hardcover book. So Far So Good! Lois P. Frankel, PhD, the author is not a financial planner, but rather a business consultant, book writer, executive coach, and licensed psychotherapist. The book has taught more on the financial thinking rather than financial planning.



Well, I highly recommend to all girls that who think they are underpaid and want to get ahead in their financial management and career.



Here is the Book Description from Amazon.com Nice_girls_dont_get_rich



After her terrific success revealing the mistakes women make that sabotage their careers, Dr. Lois P. Frankel is back to reveal the 75 mistakes women make that prevent them from achieving financial success. From executive to entry level, single to married, every woman needs to know the subconscious behavior that prevents her from developing a healthy and successful relationship with money--from depending on men for financial advice or support to a reluctance for negotiating. Frankel offers help in recognizing these self- defeating behaviors--as well as financial and investment advice and tips to help women claim wealth and riches.
