And as the self-guide list goes
on, I see myself yawning.
Ok seriously, more than half on
the list of book titles above, I made up. (Trying not think of how creative I am,
how I can actually write books with the above titles, and people would buy it! £$£$£$)
You know my teacher once described books as ‘The soul of great minds’, I also see them as looking at the world through another person’s eyes.
Looking at the world though
another person’s mind could either expand my perception of reality or ultimately
lead me to not having a mind of my own any more and worse, stuck with another
person’s pair of eyes!! (Faints)
Proverbs 4:23(NIV) Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you
do flows from it (God knew what He was talking about)
They tell us to be careful as to
what we watch, what we listen to, who we hang around, but what about what we
read? Like what we read and pick up through the gateway of our mind which is
our eyes?
Personally, I am getting a bit
wary of picking up a newspaper, because 90% of things I see there are either
something related to death, murder, kidnap or just something that has no positive
relevance to mankind.
Let me not go far away from the
reason why I mentioned the book titles above.
There is so much information out
there; a lot of people have voices and are not afraid to use it. For some it
might be because they have figured out how to live life and have generously
decided to show us the way around the mysteries.
These authors have found
themselves and discovered what works for them, but for one still on the path of
self-discovering, an attempt to understand ourselves through another person’s
eyes is just a distorted personality in the making. We are so much in love with
short cuts, that smart people have seen the problem and provided the solution.
Having read a lot of self-guides
especially in the specialist area of maximising potential or self-discovery and
have nothing against them because my books would one day be on book shelves
selling out every second ;) but the principles, guide, steps, popping out on
various aspects of life is getting a bit overwhelming. There might be certain principles
that are same across border, For e.g. If you want to be rich, get up from the
bed but there are certain situations where it might work for you and might not
be the same step for me. When we read books is it to be motivated, entertained,
refreshed or to look for a short cut?
What are the TWO SIGNS on what type not to read?
1) How
can I tell you what to read, when I do not know what you like to read?
2) This
was just a teaser J
All I am trying to say is life
could be as simple as Love your neighbour as yourself. Husband love your wife.
Wife submit to your husband. Honour your father and mother so that your days
can be long. Know your creator and everything you are looking for come
naturally to you. Love holds no record of wrong. Love is no self-seeking. Love is patient. A man
diligent in his works, will stand before Kings and not mean men. Do not despise the day of small beginnings.
Have you ever wondered how
someone with no kids can write a book on how to raise kids? Or someone with no
business writing a step to step guide on how to be a stand out entrepreneur?
I have wondered.
Books are great! They are
powerful weapons, hence take caveat when picking up one.
