The content in brief:
The title “Who will cry when you die” convinced me to pick the book, I was curious to read. Apparently, my curiosity is to know who will really cry when I die as I never know in reality. However, though I didn’t find the answer, it has valuable information to follow, practice and bring into life. Essentially , it is a self help book which has hundred chapters, each chapter consists of not more than two pages which tempts to move you to the next chapter to finish as soon as possible. The writer had attempted to say, live the life full so you will have no regrets on the deathbed. To live the life full in the current materialistic world, how to design and organize the life is the book all about.
Do you want a book which can help you to transform as a better individual? Of course, it will help you to an extent. Majority of the topics are well known to all of us but tough to implement. To my knowledge, it is useful for everyone. Dear reader, you can map yourself either.
Highlights from the book:
- He says, we learn the most from our most difficult experiences but we are focusing on the negative aspects of our most difficult experiences rather than seeing them positive as they are our great teachers.
- Robin, addressed few books and writers that he got inspired from, you can try them either.
- If you don’t act on life, life has a habit of acting on you. The weeks slip into months, the months slip into years.
- Remember, there are no real failures in life, only results. There are no true tragedies, only lessons. And there really are no problems only opportunities.
- He who asks may be a fool for five minutes. He who doesn’t is a fool for a lifetime.
- There is a difference between simply existing and truly living. There is distinction between simply surviving and really thriving.
Enjoy reading,
Yours,
