Robin Sharma

I've been reading "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari" again. This is one of the good book have ever come across in my life. It is a must for all Self-Help book readers and all those you want to improve their standard of living.

Two main reason which why I say this book is unique is that.

* It is written in first person singular, so that when you read you get a feeling that as if you are writing the book as Julian Mantle comes into your life. (Note: Every Robin Sharma books are written in first person singular)

* The way of association of the principle with the fable will make you remember the concept very well. You don't need to refer it again.

The major concepts of this book is:

* Master your Mind (The Magnificent Garden)
* Follow your Purpose (The light house
* Practice Kaizen (Sumo wrestler)
* Live with Discipline (Pink wire)
* Value your Time (The golden stop watch)
* Serve Others (The fragrant roses)
* Embrace the Present (The path of diamond)

The mind is a monkey, but if we train it, it can do wonders. Every concept can be composed into a Fable, which can be easily remembered by our Neural Networks. Because they are trained like that. I need to read the book Mind Map by Tony Buzan.[**Note**]

When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all of your thoughts break their bonds: your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world.

Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive and you discover yourself to be a greater person than you ever dreamed yourself to be.

- Robin Sharma (The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari)
