Words To Inspire The Winner In You

There are times in lives of everyone, when one feels low and demotivated. In those times one needs someone to guide, to make the mood and inspire. And who else can do the task better than books. Books being one's best friend.

"Words To Inspire The Winner In You" by Dr. Roopleen is one such book with lots of inspiring quotes on 146 topics - Attitude, Confidence, Courage, Failure, Happiness, Mistakes, Motivation, Success, Values, Wisdom etc.

 
You dont have to read the book back to back, rather read it whenever you are free, have some You time to think and relax. The one liner simple quotes will make your mood and will make you think about your life, your actions and your attitude. You can select yout favourite quotes and print them in bols and stick it anywhere be it in your office or home, where you can see them. Read them everyday, start your mornings with some positive thoughts and in few days you will see the effect in your work and in your life.

Some of my favourite quotes from the book are -

Be as much as you can be. No more; certainly not less.

You only live once. Don’t deny yourself the luxury of living your best life.

You ruin your chances of making it big when you think small.

Don’t let mental blocks control you. Set yourself free. Confront your fear and turn the mental blocks into building blocks.

Each one of us has a story to tell.Make sure yours is the one that leaves a lasting impression.

The author has done a great job by keeping the language simple for anyone to understand.

The only thing I found negative about the book is that the price is high for the collection. More topics could have been there to make the book great.

Books, Books, Books

The day I read that my post was selected for the Blueprint for Change conest on Blogadda, I was very excited. My excitement was more on the fact that I have won not one but three books and less on winning.  I really love reading books and the more books I get to read the more happy I am.

Thank you Blogadda for sending me these fabulous books. I will write a review for each of the book, after reading.


By Nilanjana Roy
 
In the labyrinthine alleys and ruins of Nizamuddin, an old neighbourhood in Delhi, lives a small band of cats. Unfettered and wild, they fear no one, go where they will, and do as they please. Until, one day, a terrified orange-coloured kitten with monsoon green eyes and remarkable powers, lands in their midst—the first in a series of extraordinary events that threatens to annihilate them and everything they hold dear.


By Musharraf Ali Farooqi
In an old ruined city, emptied of most of its inhabitants, Ustad Ramzi, a famous wrestler past his prime, and Gohar Jan, a well-known courtesan whose kotha once attracted the wealthy and the eminent, contemplate the former splendour of their lives and the ruthless currents of time and history that have swept them into oblivion.

By Cyrus Mistry
A harrowing and indelible tale of star-crossed love that takes place in the little-known community of Parsi corpse-bearers in Bombay, Cyrus Mistry’s new novel is a moving account of tragic love that, at the same time, brings to vivid and unforgettable life the degradation experienced by those who inhabit the unforgiving margins of history.
