Though no one knows exactly how many pages there are on the Web, most estimates put the total at more than 10 billion. That’s more web pages than there are people in the world, and more than 100 times the number of books in the U.S. Library of Congress. If you looked at the web pages at a rate of one per second, never stopping to sleep or eat, it would take more than 300 years to see that many pages. Combined with the fact that…

Holy War, Inc., Inside the Secret World of Osama bin Laden by Peter L. Bergen



On September 11, 2001, the world in which we live was changed forever. The twin towers of World Trade Center came crashing down, one side of the pentagon burst into flames, and more than six thousand men, women, and chikdren lost their lives in the most deadly terrorist attack on American soil. As shocking as it was, it had been long in the making: the assault was the most sophisticated and horrifying in a series of operations masterminded by Osama bin Laden and his Jihad group—an organization than CNN’s terrorism analyst Peter Bergen calls Holy War, Inc.

Prologue : How to Find the World’s Most Wanted Man

When you go looking for Osama bin Laden, you don’t find him: he finds you. It was March 1997 when the phone rang.
“Osama has agreed to meet with you in Afghanistan,” said the voice at the other end of the line.
Bin Laden and his advisers had concluded that CNN, my then employer, was the best forum to broadcast his first television interview to the English-speaking world..

The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren
(for non-Muslims only)



What on earth am I here for?

This book will help you understand why you are alive and God’s amazing plan for you—both here and now, and for eternity. Rick Warren will guide you through a personal 40-day spiritual journey that will transform your answer to life’s most important question: What on earth am I here for?: Knowing God’s purpose for creating you will reduce your stress, focus your energy, simplify your decisions, give meaning to your life, and, most important, prepare you for eternity.

Chapter 1 : It All Starts with God

It’s not about you.
The purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal fulfillment, your peace of mind, or even your happiness. It’s far greater than your family, your career, or even your wildest dreams and ambitions. If you want to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with God. You were born by His purpose and for His purpose.

The Way to the Top, The Best Business Advice I Ever Received by Donald J. Trump



Introduction: Donald J. Trump

You can’t know it all. No matter how smart you are, no matter how comprehensive your education, no matter how wide-ranging your experience, there’s simply no way to acquire all the wisdom you need to make your business thrive.
So I asked the brightest, most successful business-men and women I know—and some I don’t know—what was the best business advice they have ever received. I decided to pose the question to people who run both large and small companies. After all, it’s definitely not the big guys who have cornered the market in business smarts. Indeed, to run a small company in America takes as much—perhaps more—work, intelligence, and perseverance than it takes to be a Fortune 500 CEO with more resources at his or her disposal…To know what these advices are, come visit our library!

Chapter 1 : Why Change

Weird animals surround me in my home, at work, everywhere I go. Everyday I must spend hours to feed them, healing them, healing them, waiting for them. And the fighting! They hold each other hostage at the asphyxiating headlocks. I scream at them but they just grunt or stare back stupidly. When we do get along, and I’m feeling affectionate for them, they suddenly turn around and bite a chunk of my hide.

But today, income per capita is more than twice as high in Norway as in Argentina. Why do some nations’ economies grow quickly, providing their citizens with rapidly improving living standards, while other nations’ economies are relatively stagnant?
