All sophomores with a sister come and show off your skills! Two new books offer \ reviews & words of wisdom ^\previews to make you happier (NAPSA)-With the new millienium approaching, many authors are releasing books of afrlrmations and quotes. Some of the latest in this trend focus on personal growth and finance. Here are some excapts: From Golden Nuggets (Templeton Foundation Press, $12.95): * « Expect the best and*your positive outlook opens the door to opportunity. A {ffoblem that occurs in your life may simply be a question that life asks you. However, anxiety can make solutions seem elusive and pessimism can be a block to embracing the part of ourselves that akeady knows the answers. Your positive outlook can open doors to opportimity that fear might otherwise tightly lock. Forgiveness plays a vital role in our life. It may take varying lengths of time fw us to realize the spiral of holding mwe tightly to hurts we have sustained only brings grief to iBe«A3teoieiu all parties, ourselves included. « n> * From Spiritual Investments: Wall Street Wisdom from the Career of Sir John Templeton By Gary Moore. (Templeton Foundation Press, $12.95): ♦ * ♦ Buy real value in stocks. Do not be influenced by market trends or economic outlook. While individual stocks may be pulled along momentarily by a strCTig bull market. ultimately it is the individual stocks that determine the market, not vice versa. Value is inherent in each individual stock and varies considerably among investment opportunities. ♦ * * “Make your life decisions based on your own clear assess ments, not on popular trends. Don’t follow the crowd as you weave your way through life. The crowd does not always make the best decision and they often are not thinking about the highest good when making them. To experience the value in a situation or perscm requires more than a knowledge of general opinion. It requires an attempt to gather information, grasp nuances and subtleties, and have the courage to make up your own minds.” These two bool^^d others with similar themes are available at bookstores or by calling 800-621- 8476.
