BOOK REVIEWS

Hi everybody. Sorry for taking a break in writing. Since many days i was thinking what to write in blog, how to make it more interesting for others to read and for myself to continue writing. So i have thought i would start writing some beautiful lines and writings from the books that i am currently reading. This will have a two fold benefits. One, it would be a good source of book review for people who love to read and Second, it would increase my understanding and my capability to apply those good things mentioned in books, in my actual life.

Currently i am reading a book called "How to stop worrying and start living" by Dale Carnegie. It is the book for those who WORRY TOO MUCH in their lives. Some of the lines from the book are as below.
CHAPTER 9 COOPERATE WITH THE INEVITABLE
An inscription on the ruins of a fifteenth century cathedral in Amsterdam says "It is so. It cannot be otherwise."
As you and i march across the decades of time, we are going to meet a lot of unpleasant situations that are so. They cannot be otherwise. We have our choice. We can either accept them as inevitable and adjust ourselves to them, or we can ruin our lives with rebellion and maybe end up with a nervous breakdown.
"Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune." ( if my ipru colleagues are reading it, the best example for cooperate with inevitable is the OFFICE SCANNING problem faced by us.)

Obviously circumstances alone do not make us happy or unhappy. It is the way we react to circustances that determines our feelings. Jesus said that the kindgom of heaven is within you. That is where the kingdom of hell is, too.

The priceless prayer by Dr. Reinhold Niebuhr.
God grant me the serenity
To accept the things i cannot change,
The courage to change the things i can;
And the wisdom to know the difference.
