There are 2 truths that I've to reveal about this book and the writer.
First, there isn't any tips from Donald Trump as to how you can be rich. All we get in the book is his constant bragging about how he made it. Unless, you're a CEO/President of some company and has a couple hundred of millions to spare, you can make the calls the 'Donald' way. Nevertheless, there are some quotable principles he noted. Again, that's Donald...
Secondly, he isn't a writer at all. He is a full blooded businessman. In fact, he probably made a couple of millions from us through the sales of this. If you're looking for something to review for your literature assignment, don't kill yourself over this book. The writings are short, concise, simple and probably down to earth. Again, it's Donald we're speaking about. Do you hear him explaining why the apprentices are fired? Not much. So don't expect him to share with you anything deeper than that.
One thing that I did pick up from this book is the fact that no one ever stop working towards being successful. There is a section in the book which detailed down one of Donald's week. It's a work journal/diary/whatever you call it. In every hour, decisions involving millions of dollars are made. And this man never stop moving/working. And lunch was his time to catch up with news. Unless he is over bragging, Donald Trump is one of the most hardworking man in America. And the very reasons how he can make it to today is because he has never stop working and is open to new ideas. This man takes chances. But then again, he's Donald Trump; he can afford it.
