Summary

You’ve heard of the Pulitzer Prize. A glimpse into the life of the Jewish Joseph Pulitzer who used financial principles of ancient Jewish wisdom to transform himself from a penniless 17 year-old immigrant who could not speak English into the owner of a publishing empire in only 15 years. Those principles are just as workable today and can be learned here: 'https://www.wehappywarriors.com/financial-prosperity-collection'. Why two young, single women raced each other around the world in less than 80 days in 1889. Why Nellie Bly decided she didn’t need a gun. One Chinese shipyard has more production capacity than all of America’s shipbuilders. Chinese fishermen don’t only catch fish, they help the Chicom army build fortress colonies. How will your life be impacted when China takes Taiwan? Why do developed countries like the United Kingdom, Sweden and the United States have significantly larger parts of their populations on welfare, basically recipients of charity, while Ghana, Kenya, and Sri Lanka have almost nobody living on government handouts? Who was it in 1835 who predicted that when the non-working half of a society has succeeded in taking as much as possible from the working and productive part of society, their next step will be wholesale plunder and revolution? If you’re giving money away with no strings attached, the line will be of infinite length. Regardless of political turmoil, whether in your country or internationally, your main thing is your life and your life is best understood as a unified totality of the 5Fs. No matter what lies ahead, you’ll be better equipped to face it if you just focus on your own 5Fs. Here’s the blueprint: 'https://www.wehappywarriors.com/the-holistic-you'. It explains how your finances are tied to your family, and how your fitness is linked to your faith and social life. Be a happy warrior not a tennis ball floating down the gutter of life.
