“The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read.”
-Mark Twain
Ralph Waldo Emerson said “a man is known by the books he reads”. Books are my friends who I always look up to. At times I may feel that I am spending a bit much on books than I can afford to but today, undoubtedly I can say it’s always worth the money spent and the time spent (especially compared to the idiot box!). For sure, reading gives you better insight to your own life and takes you to next level. By reading a good book, you get to know author’s experiences and dreams and don’t you think that can add value to your life?
I always benefited from my favorite persons’ book suggestions and I guess it’s my turn now.
What I like: An exciting fable that tells you that everything is possible as long as you really want it to happen. Written in simple and lucid language!
“” I like:
It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.
When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it...
Greatness guide and Greatness guide 2 (Robin Sharma)
What I like:- Robin Sharma has written a deeply personal guide that shares his own life journey. Each lesson is rich with proven wisdom and packed with real-world examples. Yes, again two very simple but profound books.
“” I like:
It’s never too late to become the person you have always dreamed of being.
Focus plus daily improvement plus time equals genius
Evolve your brain (Joe Dispenza, D.C)
What I like:- I am still reading this book. Usually I am a fast reader but I guess neuroscience does need some time to understand (hi to my Engineering background). This is indeed a very good read for those looking to have a clearer understanding of the brain's impact on reality.
The Last Lecture(Randy Pausch)
What I like: - some intelligent answers to “What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance?” “If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy?”
“” I like:
We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.
Brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want something badly enough. They are there to keep out the other people.
Randy Pausch ‘s Life and the last lecture
Randy Pausch passed away on July 25th, 2008 of Pancreatic Cancer, but before he died he gave his famous “Last Lecture” at the Carnegie-Mellon University entitled “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams”. A great 1.5 hour lecture that speaks to everyone.
This is a never ending list....and I will try to add more...meanwhile let me know the books you are fascinated about!
