(How Great Leaders Inspire Everone To Take Action)

Genre: Business/Leadership/Personal Development

This book was written by Sir Simon in 2009. A brilliant book. I will try my best to give you the main point that the author wants to deliver to us. So the point is he wanted us to understand a basic rule of business which can also be implemented in life and that is the "Golden Rule"

So, What is the golden rule?
According to the Golden Rule, every step towards business starts according as
WHY → HOW → WHAT
Now the author wanted us to understand that everything starts with a WHY as Why do I have to start this business? For instance, If I wanted to compete with SAMSUNG and I am creating a new company SHAMSHUNG for it so, the question that arises here is, WHY? Why am I starting this company when there is already APPLE present to compete with SAMSUNG? So if I understand WHY I am starting this new company next question that will be going to arise would be, okay I Know Why I am doing this?, now, HOW will I Do This? How will I start my company? How many investors do I need for this? And the last step is in which you ask yourself a question of What? like What are the things I need to get to start this business?

In simple words, ask yourself questions when taking any new step in life.

Every businessman you see today in newspapers or on social media platforms is doing their business for a reason they know Why they have to do that, and why there is a need for this business.
In my perspective, this ‘Rule’ can be applied to life too, and it’s straightforward you have to START
WITH WHY and that's it.

It’s one of my favourite books and helped me understand the concepts in many other books such as “Man’s Search For A Meaning”. And one thing more you don’t have to read every single page of this book you can skim a little if you understood the “Golden Rule” and remember It’s kind of difficult book to grasp the knowledge at first. Recommended.

I Started Journaling and It Quietly Changed Everything

Why You Should Start Journaling Writing about your weekly progress can help a lot. A teacher once told my class: “Write your progress somewhere and ask yourself if you’ve actually grown.” I didn’t take it seriously at first, but I still started writing — and now it’s been two years . And honestly, the best part wasn’t the writing… It was reading my past self . What Makes Journaling Special? There are things in life we can’t share publicly — even with people we trust the most. But a journal is different: Nobody is judging you You can be completely honest You can write things you’ll never say out loud You can expose your weaknesses without fear It’s yours — private. How I Started I didn’t start journaling to “track progress” or “be productive.” I just wrote what was happening: How my tests went How people treated me Why they behaved a certain way What I was feeling It became a space where I could say anything — without being misunderstood. No one was judg...

Let the Man Cry

It’s okay to let it out. You’re safe here — with yourself, your thoughts, and your truth. As a man myself, I understand that society has presented men as someone who must be strong — both physically and mentally. We are seen as people who, when we cry, somehow become weak. And yes, sometimes others might treat us differently when we do. The society made me believe that crying makes you weak. I used to think that too… but now I realize it’s this very mentality that makes you weak. But I guess crying doesn’t make you weak. It actually helps regulate your emotions — the feelings you’ve buried deep in your heavy heart. Some of us might have never cried in our lives, or maybe we’ve even forgotten how. But I guess… it’s time to let your tears fall in your safe space. And by safe space , I don’t mean another person. I mean yourself . Because you are the only one who has seen your ups and downs. You are the one who understands yourself the most. You are the one who will n...

Book Review: Verity by Colleen Hoover

Verity Colleen Hoover 5 of 5 stars Genre: Thriller/Romance/Mystery The story of the book is as follows...... Jeremy Crawford husband of Verity Crawford (best-selling author) invites Lowen Ashleigh (an average struggling author) to complete her wife’s remaining work in a series that she couldn’t complete because she was injured. When Lowen reaches Crawford's house she starts to get through years of Verity's work to first understand which tone and style she uses in her books. After finding her autobiography, in which she has written everything about herself and how her life changed, which Verity wrote for herself, she began reading it too. As she continues reading it, the intensity of her terrors and curiosity grows as she goes through the chapters one by one. This was my first Miss Collen book. It gave me chills while reading it and I completed it within two days. This was pretty fast for me. Recommended for everyone interested in Romance, Mystery and Thrill...
