He believed children were a horrible waste of time, energy, money and everything else, feeling sorry for people who had children, so he was not ever going to do it. Jim now believes everyone should have children and that he was just wrong for not having them earlier in his life.<br> <br>  <br> <br> In 2002, arriving back home in NYC after completing his third Guinness World Record being on the road for 3 years, covering more than 245,000 kilometres in a one-of-a-kind Mercedes-Benz taking them to six continents and 116 countries, they decided to have children.<br> <br>  <br> <br> Jim Rogers claims this was the best decision of his life. His two girls are now the center of his universe, in fact,  his 2009: A Gift to My Children book was written for his daughters. Listen in to hear about why he wrote this most special gift to his children.  This may spark some creativity in yourself for your children to follow!<br> <br>  <br> Jim Rogers Opinion on Mandarin<br> Mikkel and Jim discuss in lengths about what they believe the most important languages their children should speak. Due to the fact that Jim and his family live in Singapore, his two daughters are fluent in Mandarin and have actually won awards for the best Mandarin Speakers in the Nation.  Jim believes that this is the second most important language to learn, behind English.<br> <br>  <br> <br> In <a href="https://expatmoneyshow.com/mikkel-thorup/">Ep: 025 Mikkel</a> shares his own opinions about China and Mandarin and what he is doing in his own life to prepare.<br> <br>  <br> Jim Rogers Books<br> <br> * 1994:  Investment Biker: Around the World with Jim Rogers<br> * 2003: Adventure Capitalist: The Ultimate Road Trip<br> * 2004: Hot Commodities: How Anyone Can Invest Profitably in the World's Greatest Market<br> * 2009: A Gift to My Children: A Father's Lessons For Life and Investing<br> * 2013: Street Smarts: Adventures on the Road and in the Markets<br> <br>  <br> Jim Rogers talks about the possibility of a new book<br>
