Think Big by Donald Trump: on Families & Children

Donald Trump: Everyone getting married should have a prenuptial agreement

Marriage is a contract unlike any other contract in life. It's a legally binding contract that knows nothing of love. If the love dies, all you have left is a resentful ex-spouse & the marriage certificate. There's nothing more terrible than an ex-spouse with a ten-ton axe to grind, and no agreement on common property. Always get a prenup. It's just too risky not to.

When I met Melania and we decided to get married, I said, "We're going to have the greatest marriage ever, but listen, just in case it doesn't work, sign on the dotted line." It's not exactly the most romantic thing to do, but you really, really need it.

Donald Trump: Too many hollow compliments are not healthy for kids

Too many hollow compliments are not healthy for kids. It is okay to let your children know they are special. It is a part of being a loving parent, but do not overdo it. To constantly lavish praise on your children for every little thing they do is too much. Do not be easy on them. Let your children work hard to gain your praise. They will value it more.

If you over-compliment a child, they start to believe they are entitled to success in life without even trying, but it is not true. When they grow up they will find out that the world is much more difficult than you led them to believe. Then, if they cannot get something right away, they quit. Quitting is a habit that is hard to break.

Donald Trump: I would rather live a married life than be single

What surprises many people is that beautiful women love me. For the first season of The Apprentice one broadcast exec said, "To be successful, large numbers of women would have to watch, and why would women want to watch Donald Trump?" I said, "I have not done so badly with women." As it turned out, the biggest audience for The Apprentice by far is women.

Donald Trump: Be cocky & confident & get all the women you want

We may live in houses in the suburbs but our minds and emotions are still only a short step out of the jungle. In primitive times, women clung to the strongest males for protection. High-status males displayed their prowess through their kick-ass attitudes. They did not give a crap about what other people in the tribe thought. That kind of attitude was and still is associated with the kind of men women find attractive. It may not be politically correct to say but who cares. It is common sense and it's true--and always will be.
