Whenever you feel low or want to appear for exams or highly stressed
out, just grab any book which promotes Positive Thinking, Self
Improvement, Secrets of Happiness etc..
It really helps you to realize various things, which you want to hear
or understand. Sometimes such books also draw you out from tension
and allow you to introspect the situation in right perspective.
Recently I was worried and stressed due to latest development at my
work place. I was searching for peace of mind, consolidation of my
thoughts and just to relax my edginess.
My friend lent me the subject book. This book is written in English
by Mr. Robin Sharma, who is famous for his other book "The Monk, who
sold his Ferrari".
I always felt that, in translation, something is missed out, may be
the message, and may be the treatment or flow of story or lack of
proper concept presentation.
This book is very good as far as content is concerned but if I want to
relate myself with the book, I don't think that it serves any purpose.
Even relating the book and the characters, I found something is
missing or inappropriate.
This book narrates the story of a man, who after accident meets his
father (though he learned the same after some time) in hospital. His
father arranges his meeting rather arranges for his training towards
enlightenment path or living in right earnest through 3 persons i.e.
The Saint, The Surfer and The CEO.
With all three people, he has to spend a month and learned the few /
new things about the life and living. The book narrates his days
spent with these 3 persons.
With the saint, he spends his time in his church and learned about the
religion. The Surfer teaches him surfing and living in present. The
lady CEO teaches him how to interact with persons and make their & our
life more beautiful.
The story is interesting but I cannot connect with the writing /
preaching. It is more like fairy tale story with very limited action
and impact.
What would have happened if the main person would have been the girl?
Would the story go the same way?
This makes one more point to discuss – most of the stories of these
types, main character is male. The male forgets his natural style of
living and need to be awakened.
I read that this book in English is best sellers and changed /
transformed the lives. So I will try to read English (original)
version too.
Oh, though my nervousness was still there during & after reading the
book, but somehow this book prompted me to think more about present
than to fear about unknown future.
Everything happens as it should have to be, so forget worries and be
ready for next assignment.
