I joined Hardoi on 14th July late evening and it took me close to three months to get things rolling and to create a kind of morning schedule. It rained quite a lot in Hardoi this monsoon and it stopped only in Sept.
This book has been a refreshing read after a long time. Pithy book of ancient, medieval and modern wisdom packaged in a novel way. There is nothing new in this book but still it's a must read book for all of us specially for those who are in their mid thirties or forties. I am kind of an avid reader though I suffered kind of a lag in last half a decade mainly because of my demanding work engagements. This is my kind of a book.
For the readers of this ancient blog I am putting here points that I like most:
- Reading/learning are the ultimate meta skill. One should never stop it.
- Distraction is a big killer and it makes your mind heavy and confused.
- Meditation every day is a must.
- Anger means loss of control over a situation and its suicidal.
- Work out every day is a must.
- One day should be kept free every week from mundane work.
- Inspiration is perishable. It should be acted upon immediately.
- Intentions do not matter, actions do.
- Become the best in the world at whatever you do. Keep refining yourself.
- World as hard as you can.
- Give more time on decision making.
- If you can't decide, then the answer is No.
- Criticise generally but praise specifically.
- Don't waste your time living some one else's life.
A highly recommended book (10/10).
