              I am tremendously honoured to accept this award. I am also humbled by the exclusive club of which I am now a member. There have been 43 American Presidents, but only @diya, @MattJuniper and myself can understand both the incredibly privilege and immense burden that comes with holding the office of King of the Mountain.

              @AjFinance The Art of War is written by Sun Tzu as an English reader I need a translated version. Thomas Cleary’s doesn’t only translate the book but also adds depth and explanation to the book and it also includes essay and previously undiscovered part of the Art of War better know as the Silver Sparrow Art of War. I included a link the the book

              I also have to take back what I said to @imdnextbuffet about not having to worry.

              True that girl. But in a way it pushes everyone to get the badge or the prize so cool 😀

                        I’m just glad I swept up last week…I imagine this is what it feels like to watch people leading up to the CFA exams once you already hold the charter 😀

                                        That remind me of the song, “Can’t wait to be king” from Lion King.

                                                        I’m feeling a bit jealous about @MattJuniper’s King of the Mountain badge now…

                                                        …OMG I need to stop talking about books >.<
