How could he continue to read a book and more each day along with the other fourteen MANDATORY daily activities such as painting, composing folks songs and concertos on piano, guitar, and other instruments, tutoring in the community, giving computer lessons in the library? Could he maintain such a fantastic schedule? Challenged by the idea, and looking to see what masters and millionaires would do, he got a cassette player with adjustable speed, and slowly trained his ear and brain to comfortably absorb information at gradually increasing speeds. People around him thought it was cute, and several of them trained with him, each of them quickly adapting to voices on accelerated tape that sounded like chipmunks. Throughout his day, with a single earplug discreetly tucked into his ear, he continued his book-per-day routine without missing a beat.
