It has been years since I last went to the public library in Seberang Jaya. I used to study at there when i was in Form Six. Five years later, I went there again out of boredom and in the hope of finding some good books to read.
and..This was the book i found on the display rack. I have read "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne before, but I couldn't finish it. Perhaps it's because that I do not really favour the writing style.
This book got a different style. I like the way the author put in the philosophy of life in a short, simple and inspiring way. There isn't any law to follow, just some straight forward points from the author that we all might or might not be realized. Another reason is that there are just157 pages, so it isn't that thick anyway. I do believe that I able to read it all. haha..
Here are few experts from the book that i would like to share here:
"Once you get the lesson of any experience, you don't need to repeat the experience. Until you get the lesson, you will continue to recreate the experience, escalating in pain, until you get the lesson."
"Be not afraid. Do the thing you wish, and walk through the fear. On the other side, is freedom."
"Fear is one of the most common human emotions. The common response to fear is to try to reduce it. Although this is the natural response, it is also the least helpful response. The more you avoid experiencing anxiety, the more your discomfort will grow over time. Push yourself to get out of the comfort zone you may be living in. You will enter the place where your most tremendous personal and professional success will begin."
"Nothing bad ever happens to you. There it is. It's the secret to handling failure. You go on to the next thing. You don't give up. You take a deep breath. You dust yourself off. You learn. And you do the next thing. Failure is not death."
