It took me all of one evening to read Timothy Ferriss’s book, “The 4-Hour Workweek.” Yes, the concept of working smarter excited me. Who doesn’t want to double their pay and work half the hours with such simple plans? But, like investing in something you don’t understand, I would be very careful about attempting to live the Ferriss lifestyle. Not everyone can “escape 9-5, live anywhere, and join the New Rich [NR].”

This month I put one of my blogs on the auction block, and it sold for more than my parents paid for their first home in 1962. Granted, that’s not a fair comparison, because that same house is probably worth much more today. Let’s just say that I can pay for one year of Cora’s college education with the proceeds from the sale after I pay Uncle Sam. Was this type of business floating around during the dot.com boom? I don’t know, but I’m enjoying the new possibilities even if they might be transient.

Considering that Cairo, Egypt alone contains over 1,000 mosques (Masjids), it wasn’t easy to pick the top twenty-five mosques in the world. But, when we added the words “amazing” and “largest” to the equation, we found some mosques that are worth a plane ticket to visit the sites. We also tried to provide a wide geographic area so that you can visit at least one of these architectural wonders during your lifetime. Mosques are places of worship, but they also lean toward education; therefore, you’ll find many mosques that also contain a madrasa (madrasah, madarasaa, medresa, madrassa), the Arabic word for any type of school, secular or religious. But, don’t expect to always find domes or minarets, features which have become symbolic of the Islam faith. You may discover that local culture often colored the architectural styles on many mosques.
I’ll bet my alien lamp that you didn’t make a million dollars when you were a teenager, starting with the sales of your sister’s beanie babies over the Internet. And, I can almost guarantee that someone didn’t write a book about you, or that you were a Keynote Speaker with Michael Dell at the Youth International Technology Summit in Austin, Texas. The only person I know who accomplished all this and more is Cameron Johnson, the son of a car dealer in Roanoke, Virginia.
