Anybody who has visited my website at Motivation & Self Esteem for Success or has read any of the many articles I have written will realise what a proponent I am of reading books and educating yourself. If you want to become successful at anything you simply must do this, in my opinion.
However, not everything you learn and/or read is of equal value. As the world's store of information becomes exponentially greater, almost by the minute, you must learn to become more and more discerning about what you read and believe.
With this in mind, I believe you need to understand five basic things:
To demonstrate the above points I have devised a little mystery for you. I hope you will find this not only a stimulating exercise but also a bit of fun.
Listed below is a set of 16 clues to a murder investigation involving the occupants of five consecutive houses. They are all you need to solve the mystery of "Who Killed Who."
The "Who Killed Who" Murder Mystery Clues:
If you solve the mystery all the clues will fit together like a successful crossword puzzle. If you are having difficulty you can email me for some clues.
If you would like to drive all your friends crazy with this you may copy it and send it to them providing nothing is changed and the full contents, including the resource box below remains intact.
Happy problem solving and remember - books are a wonderful source of education.
Hint: Make a drawing of the five houses.
