~ One Red Paper Clip ~



Waha. Bought a new book yesterday and finished it today. the story is rather short, but its really just, AMAZING.

The title of the book is the title of this post. One Red Paper Clip.

WTH IS THAT??? you might ask.

well basically its a true story bout this guy, who not so long ago owned a red paper clip just like any others. Incidentally he was unemployed or "between jobs". But he decided one day, to trade away his paper clip. For something better.

And so, the trades continued. Guess wad he ended up with? HIS OWN HOUSE. 2 floors and "recently" renovated. he moved in july 2006, the same date a year before he made his first trade. The paper clip.

its really inspirational and amazing that something like this actually happened in today's world, to an ordinary guy just like us. i mean he had to choose between "applying for a stable job" or "doing what he wants to do" And look where that landed him in. New home, celeb status, and most of all TONS of new friends.
