Win & Influence

I finished reading How to Win friends and Influence people? by Dale Carnegie.

Everybody knows how great this book is. Though I couldn't remember the books by words, it gone into the depth of  My mind. People want to be important and wish to be surrounded by other fellow humans.

If you have time to read and Rs.100 (INR) this book offers you a great lesson. But before starting it, one should have a urge to live their life with peace, happiness and wisdom. Unless this book will be a mere advice to you (We often hate advices na!).

You could also read the summary of this book here: http://www.notesofintelligence.com/influence/basic-summary.html

I never forget this book and specially this paragraph which Dale advices to read it everyday

I shall pass this way but once; any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again. 

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish

One of the most popular speech and very inspirational. Its amazing, the quality of speech and information which Steve Jobs covers within 15 minutes.

A person is a person...

Few days back my brother suggested me the film- Horton! It’s an elephant animation film. I thought the film would be a funny one like Kung Fu Panda. But altogether it’s a surprise.

Horton is an elephant in the Nool jungle governed by a Kangaroo. He got a speck of dust, in which a whole village lives (Believe it! Its a story...). He talks to the people of Whoville (the village) and promises to help them. What he has to do? To keep the speck in a safe place. That’s all!

But the Kangaroo, doesn't believe in the Horton's saying and trying to stop it.

At the end, the Horton succeeds in keeping both the speck and the people safe.

Why Horton wants to save the speck and the small people? He says " a person is a person; no matter how small."

This is a movie not for kids; the children can't understand it. Though the story is childish, the moral is not. Think, daily how many people are coming across us? To how many of them we give due respect? Somebody may ask why we respect them.

Everybody is like you; have the equal right to live here. Everybody is like you; have a lot of errors within them. Everybody is like you; physically and mentally. We are not going to lose anything by throwing a smile, by giving a hand, by offering a hug.

Love everybody, if you want yourself to be lovable. Respect everybody if you deserve any respect.

After all " a person is a person; no matter how small."

Happy Left Hander's Day
