An Enlightening Journey With The Monk....

Every time a good book comes around I think I almost smell it. The same thing happened with this particular book which is "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari" by Robin Sharma. I had been hearing about this book since the past one month from various sources and was thinking of buying a copy of it. But luckily when I met Phal day before yesterday, she had a copy of it and I took it from her 2 grab a read. And I must say its an enlightening book written in lucid language. It is light on the mind. And the best thing is it doesnt say something that we already dont know..it just highlights the things that we tend to forget in our hectic lives.
It basically stresses on the fact that how important it is to be positive in life, to be determined to achieve your goals and to be focussed. And only if you are happy can you make others around you happy.

Some of the statements in the book which stood out for me are:

Im an artist at living; my art of work is my life.

There's a difference between well-being and well-off.

While we cannot choose how we will die but we can always choose how we will live.

A negative thought is like an embryo---the more you feed it, the stronger it grows.

Never sacrifice happiness for the sake of achievemet. The secret is to happily achieve.

Thanks Phal for the book cos I had been searching it for quite sometime:-) And for people who haven't read it, all I can say is its a good book and read it if u come across it!!And if anyone wants to know more about the author they can have a look here
