I love literature and music. This blog has to do with these—Books (book reviews, articles, essays, authors, etc.), Poetry (loved poems and poets), and Music (songwriters, musicians, bands, songs, lyrics, etc.) They are treasures built up from the same basic building block viz; word(s). Hence the title of this Blog—'Treasures in Words!'
When the CEO wins the race even before it begins! A thriller and a peeved commentary on America’s insane pay gap.
Posted: 01-Mar-2026
Jean-Cédric Michel’s thriller novel The Robin Hood Formula takes aim at one of the most mind-boggling aspects of modern America: the vast and widening gulf between executive compensation and the wages of ordinary workers. Framed around the startling statistic that a CEO may earn up to 6500 times the salary of an average employee, the book uses story as a medium for moral interrogation as much as for entertainment.
The story follows a group of gifted friends fromUSA’s Ivy League institutions who turn furious when they recognize the depth of this insanely outrageous and cruel economic gap. They form a team and come together to devise a solution to address it.
They know that when it’s time to deploy their solution, they must fight against and prevail a last battle with the powerful, deeply entrenched nexus between dirt-rich corporations and the heavyweights of America’s capitalist government, who would swiftly and effortlessly crush any remedial effort they find! Realizing that sagacity, not force, will be necessary to win the last step against the nexus, they devise a modern Robin Hood strategy to reclaim the unfairly gained wealth held by corporations and redistribute it to the workforce that was cheated.
Like a basketball player intending to shoot, they skillfully dribble past the enemy's defense until they are at shooting distance, and then successfully shoot the ball it into the basket above. However, victory isn't free and they suffer significant losses at the hand of the enemy before they finally prevail.

From seed to fruit-producing tree: the painful steps of Christian growth from receiving Jesus as Savior to maturity
Posted: 08-Feb-2026
Although all are welcome to read it, this book is primarily aimed at committed, practicing Christians—those who have welcomed Jesus into their lives as Savior and are determined, at all costs, to persevere to maturity.
While receiving Christ as one’s Savior is a decidedly great thing, it’s only a beginning. From that beginning, God wants to grow the believer into a strong, self-reliant tree that produces fruit (note: not just fruit, but sweet fruit!) for anyone to taste and see.
But that can’t happen unless the Gardener labors over it after the seed is planted: watering the young plant daily, ensuring sufficient sunlight, providing nurturing and nourishment, protecting it from pests, pruning it for growth… and so on over some years until the day it becomes a lovely, self-reliant tree, that produces naturally sweet fruit!
That’s God’s work, and he’s happy when he completes it!
Read this book to learn more about the seed-to-tree growth process based on real-life experiences the author and his family underwent.
