Perspective...

Don’t ask why it happened; ask how you handled it when it
happened. Rather than wasting energy asking why something
is happening, or how it could have happened, I can choose to
focus my energy on my response; ensuring I respond with
stability and dignity.

Untitled!

I'm an avid reader and I've read a lot. I've literally read thousands of books. No exaggeration! When I was young, I used to read everything which would come in my way. Newspapers, magazines, novels, books on history, religion, and even politics. Everything except poetry. Poetry has never been my cup of tea. I still read a lot, but now I skip some.

When you're fond of reading, you're always searching for a good book to read. And if a book becomes a bestseller, you crave for it. Don't you?
