All Things Jim Rogers

Jim Rogers appeared on the Today Show with Al Rocker to promote his new book A Gift to My Children: A Father’s Lessons for Life and Investing. A quick reminder for individuals not familiar with the book. The book teaches basic principles on investing. Specifically, Jim outlines some key guidelines such as:

• Rely on your own intelligence
• Focus on what you like
• Nothing is really new
• Females…..boys need you more than you need them

Rely on your intelligence

There are going to be moments in life when you must make very important decisions. You will find many people ready to offer you advice if you ask for it (and even if you don’t), but always remember that the life you lead is yours and nobody else’s. It’s important to decide for yourself what’s important to you and what you want before you turn to others. Because while there will be times when outside advice proves wise, there will be at least as many times when it proves utterly useless. The only way to really evaluate other folks’ advice is to first learn everything that you can about whatever challenge you are facing. Once you’ve done that, in most cases you should be able to make an informed decision on your own anyway.
