Perspectives

A month back, I have just read a book 'Attitudes of Amazing Achievers' by Philip Baker. I think I did not make the wrong choice for reading it. This book has surely gave me an insight about what I need in order to make myself feel like I am an achiever and most importantly to be like an achiever!

Okay..I think I better get started already. Attitudes define our perspectives. This is true. There will always be sunshine and rain. Some of us(that inculdes me) might hate the rain as it gets us wet and it makes travelling much harder for the most of us. However, the farmers like the rain because it helps them to water their crops. Well, it is us who decide whether to like it or hate it. Eventually, it is us who determine whether rain is a bad or a good thing. If we look at things in others perspectives, we might feel a whole lot better!

Sometimes, we think that we might have wasted our time waiting for others. This book, however, made me think back of those times which I thought I have been wasting my time for others and now, I find that I really missed those little moments. Years back, I do not like waiting for my sister as she was slow in doing anything. Let it be, taking a bath in the washroom, getting ready for school and etc. However, I do not feel like that any longer. For instance, when my sister calls me, she will be talking about how is her life in Kedah-food, friends, studies and etc. I was listening to her for quite sometime without really paying attention to what she was talking about. Although I did not indulged myself in her stories, I felt that I did not wasted my time listening to her. I think that the fact that we are no longer together has certainly made us closer to one another and more importantly, to appreciate the times we had for each other. Sometimes, waiting does not matters the most but rather on recognizing the value of doing so. So, if you would have ask me whether I did achieve something, I would surely say that I did!

This book basically motivates the reader per se. It surely had helped me to gain more confidence and think more positively when I feel crappy about life and all. If you had a bad day, you might want to try to pick up any inspirational book.
