"Happiness ain’t a thing in itself—it’s only a contrast with something that ain’t pleasant.... And so, as soon as the novelty is over and the force of the contrast dulled, it ain’t happiness any longer, and you have to get something fresh."
Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
A brand new week and a brand new start. Much have transpired over the last few weeks that have resulted in a rather morose entry throughout. However, as with any beginnings – it ends. So here I am, a brand new soul perhaps wiser in thought and eager to move on.
I did Babe’s tag. I realized that I have not read a lot of pretty good books. Now thanks to her, I have a very long shopping list, and will be spending countless hours in Kinokuniya hunting some of the books down. I have just finished reading most of the books I have in hand. Here are some recently digested titles;
Losing My Virginity, Richard Branson
Read this! Seriously folks, even if being a billionaire isn’t one of your lifetime’s agenda just read it. So much to be learned about taking risks and living life the hard way. This is why biography’s are written. It reflects on the lesson one learns over a lifetime, which can be reflected on over a weekend of reading. And this is also when I realized, a blog is much like a biography. We write what we think the world should read about, and keep the rest within.
Mind Map, Tony Buzan
Okay, admittedly I am behind the curve on this. Very 90’s but hey a good idea is a good idea.
The Mind Gym, Time Warner Books
A good exercise! Much like our body, the brain needs its exercise too, at least this is what the folks at The Mind Gym believes. Does it work? I shall tell you when I feel fitter. Gym? Naah…
Now, be prepared.
A very long list that I am sure have been growing as this tag is sent around a few times. I have decided to add three biographies at the end of it as I didn’t notice any through the list.
Cheers!
