This is the latest book I read..from the writer of The monk who sold Ferrari. This book also starts the same way with a highly commercially successful lawyer denouncing worldly things and going to India for wisdom. And gets it in plenty to change him and many others..this one point make me smile so much..today when our youngsters find everything western only good and everything Indian outdated, people from west look to India for inspiration...what an anomaly..anyway a separate post will be done for that:)
Here I am quoting few things from the book......
you who would accomplish little must sacrifice little,
you who would achieve much must sacrifice much and
you who would attain highly must sacrifice greatly....James Allen
Money is not to be chased.Money is the byproduct that can flow into your life when your focus shifts to helping people live better lives and realise their dreams.
Success like happiness can not be persued,it must ensue.
We were put on this earth for one purpose.to make it a better place.
When I get little money,I buy books,if any is left I buy food and clothes.
Blaming others is a way of excusing ourselves.
By shifting responsibility we give away the power also.
after quality time, second best gift you can give your children is the gift of a good example. Be the individual you want them to be.
Teach children that to lead in their lives they must read in the day.
Leadership in many ways is taking the higher road,tougher choice, however uncomfortable it may be.
The tougher you are on yourself,easier life will be on you.
Teach them to be hungry for knowledge and thirsty for wisdom. Coach them to love books,music and ideas.
Parents should stop doing what is easy and start doing what is right.
Stop scolding and start moulding them into leaders with the gift of your unconditional love.
Keep your promises and commitments.
When you say anything, make certain that you mean it.
All it take is the initiative to find good books and then discipline to read them.
Many parents think that constantly giving in to the demands of the children and never saying no shows their children how much they love them, But what they forget is that children need clear boundaries. Employing a reasonable amount of discipline builds character in them.
To be an excellent parent, become an excellent person first.
One can not do right in one department when he is occupied doing wrong in another.
Focus on you strengths, not weaknesses.
Take initiative to find good books and then
These are few things I found worth mentioning, rest you can realise only after reading..It is worth a read and interesting too.
