Earlier this year legendary investor Jim Rogers published a book titled A Gift to My Children: A Father's Lessons for Life and Investing. He recently fathered two daughters in his sixties and wrote this small memoir to share with them some of the insights that he has garnered from his experiences. He advises to make your own decisions in life rather than listening to others, to figure out what you love to do and focus on that rather than what is expected of you, and to have a dream and to live your dream.
Here are the 12 life lessons he believes his young daughters should follow. Great common sense advice for all!
