BOOK REVIEW (THE PRESENT)


Last weekend I've the opportunity to read this book authored by Spencer Johnson. It's a simple book but full with surprises. The book concentrate on THE PRESENT , the best gift from you to yourself. It's a fictional story of a boy and an old man. One day the old man promised to the boy that he'll give the best ever present to the boy and every day the boy will visit the old man to get his present.

You'll have to wait until the mid phase of the book to actually know what is THE PRESENT. And THE PRESENT = Focusing on what is happening RIGHT NOW and appreciating it. And according to the old wise man in order to get the present you'll have to take a break from your regular routine.

According to the old man to maximize the present we should LIVE and WORK with PURPOSE. Overall summary of this great book :

a) BE IN THE PRESENT
b) LEARN FROM THE PAST
c) PLAN FOR THE FUTURE

Dah baca lama jugak dah. Dah tak ingat contents dia pun.

Jalan Rebung dah baca The Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, Millionaire Next Door? Kalau belum cubalah baca. My fav, dah tentu The Rich Dad Series.
