Books.......Guiding the enlightened


Image result for books

The above title must have given you the idea about the topic which I am going to touch upon today i.e. books.I have always been a voracious reader and strongly recommend others to do the same.I have always loved to read self help books and the autobiographies of great people.Its not that I have any kind of animosity towards romantic or thriller genres,but it has never appealed me the way the above mentioned books do.

Whatever you want to become has been already written about,and guess what,its all available! Jim Rohn once said that successful people have libraries,while the average people have large TV sets.So I guess what he tried to suggest us was this-victims love entertainment whereas the leaders love education.I have always been fascinated in knowing the kind of obstacles they had to face and the undeterred will power which they mustered to conquer those challenges.

So I invite you to read some inspiring books which will push you,stretch you and mould your mindset in a positive way.It is said that the hand that puts down a great book is never the same again.The mind when stretched by a new idea finds itself difficult to go back to its original dimension.

I strongly recommend you to read the autobiographies of Mahatma Gandhi,Nelson Mandela and Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam because reading those books is nothing less than having a conversation with them.And like every great conversation,you walk out being a better human being.

What you'll have 2 years from now, 5 years from now,10 years from now solely depends on what you become and what are the things which you are willing to sacrifice today.  Your income hardly exceeds your self worth and once you acknowledge this very fact, you'll start realising that there is a very urgent need to start learning new skills and be very competitive. There are innumerable things which are out there in the world which can aide you reach your des...

The Journey

 Pretty soon, I will see myself at the brink of embarking upon a new journey, a journey that will give exposure and inputs to my mind, the one that leads to realizing my capabilities, making be firm, bold and undeterred by the opinions of others. Taking the road less traveled has always been a phrase which we love to read, but I find that experiencing, it requires a lot more courage. It's always difficult to start your journey to a place which you've only read about, but never encountered before. There is a pride in my visage that this journey will help me to grow, but I won't deny the dread growing slowly at the back of my mind regarding whether I am fully prepared for it or not. Material success is necessary, but it means little when it is not complemented with the right values which one holds. My near and dear ones have made sure that I don't lose my values when people have something tempting to offer. Numerous dreams are riding on my shoulder, but ...
