Excuse me, Moon, can I lick you? How Salty Is The Moon? It has come to my attention that one of the greatest geological tools available is our tongue.  Yup, you read that right. There are geologists out there in the wild right now. Licking and nibbling on strange rocks. Remember when you ate sand in kindergarten? Well, turns out that you were a misunderstood geologist. Yet, since it is frowned upon in public, most novice geologists hesitate with employing the use of their tongue in identifying a rock. To the uninitiated, this might sound absurd but I assure you it is a valid scientific test still currently in use.   But why though? Geology is the study of rocks and is an Earth Science. It is necessary as it reveals the deep history of the Earth, informs the other sciences with its discoveries, and is useful for economic purposes. Need to know where you have to drill for oil? Call a geologist. Think you found a fossil on your trail? Call a geologist. Need inputs on a hydroelectric proje

My Favourite German word. With wave after wave of the pandemic. Everyone’s world has been thrown into the doldrums. I figured it was a good time to try and begin picking up a new language.

I broke past that barrier and am now at a total of 11100XP. It has been 5 months since I started. While I’m nowhere near being able to converse and follow a conversation in German, I’m getting there.

Overall tone and topic of the book. This was my first audio book and I must say, I’m a fan of the method but it depends on how demanding the book is. I got lucky with selecting this book.  Not too heavy on concepts and terms with over 252 pages, 19 chapters long using simple words except for terminologies, makes for a quick listen. That doesn't necessarily mean that there aren't pearls of wisdom in every chapter though.  Overall it possesses some pretty common sagely advice that most of us who’ve been reading about and searching for information regarding investing wouldn’t already be familiar with. Investing veterans, you won’t find any new information here that you haven't already heard.  However, don't write off the book just yet. While there isn’t any advice on where and what to invest in, there is plenty of advice on the psychology behind it.  It being Money, wealth, moolah, and greed itself. Which is infinitely much more valuable than the latest insider tip and hot
