"WE WANT TO INVEST IN YOU"

Paradigm Properties wants to partner with you--our residents--to help you create an extraordinary life for yourself, to assist you in discovering the greatness that lies within you, to provide an experience that will boost you toward a lifelong love of learning for its own sake.

There's money in this for you!

1. Choose a book from the following list (some of our personal favorites). Contact your property office to check out the books (limited availability).

2. Read it.

3. Write a 2-3 page (single spaced) discussion on your thoughts/reaction/impression, how it has/will impact you, how it fits into your philosophy of life...

4. Put your name and address (including apartment number) on your essay and turn it in to your property office.

5. In about 2 weeks--after a bunch of us read it--you'll receive $25 for your first three submissions, and $10 for each one thereafter (during the same lease period).

6. There is no limit as to how much you can learn, so go ahead and earnwhile you learn!
