Not an Ad..


For the last two weeks I spent much of my time to read one of the most inspiring book: Chicken Soup for The Soul. I used to read some series of it when I was on Junior High School, it's about ten years go. And in this periode of time I call it self-transition periode, I went to Gramedia, wished to find some books about self improvement. I went straight to self improvement part in Gramedia and found nothing. Then I walked to the best seller part and found this ten-years-forgotten book. Spent some minutes to read its table of contents, I decided to buy it.

One most important point I learn from this amazing book is that what's on your mind controls every act of u. It's just that simple (my conclusion in the end of reading this book). Things are good, bad; this is the worst weather ever or the best; you can do something or not; you decide it! At the beginning I thought it cannot be that simple. How can I think that I can be a 'person' in the future while I was on my self-transition period and I was a labile person. People on this book took control of their life just because in the end they decided to take control of it. I simplify the path: control your mind (as positive as you can) --> convincing yourself --> start to act!

I am trying to put this path on my daily life which I believe will make me a happier person even the happiest one. Even this is simple, it doesn't make it easy for all of us. You know, when you can take control of your mind, you can decide that it is simple and easy. This is something that some people may not understand easily (especially with my short subjective explanation up there :D ). Just buy or borrow the book and you'll find what I mean..
