Insightful, Hopeful

What would you do if you became rich? This was a question that my boss suddenly asked today in one of our group talks. On my way home, I remembered why this rang a bell to me. I just read the Inquirer staff interview with Rick Warren, the bestselling author of "The Purpose Driven Life". He talks about his book, his ministry, and what he did when he became rich.

The purpose-driven Rick Warren

This weekend, I was finally able to re-read the book Tuesdays with Morrie. It made me cry the first time I read it and made me cry even more this time. Maybe it's because I experienced talking to someone who was dying too. He was a special friend and I do miss him, and can't help but think of him at times even though he's gone. I actually dreamt of him recently, perhaps reminding me to visit his tomb on All Soul's Day. :)

Back to the book, this has too many quotable quotes and lessons. It was a very personal book for Mitch Albom that is why it is heartfelt for the reader. I recommend anyone especially those who want "a good cry" to read this book.

Another book I read was "Who Moved My Cheese". This is a very popular book especially for corporate leaders. It's a very short read, I read it for less than 30 minutes which made my sister say I'm a genius hehe.

The book consists of a parable about mice and men (little men) looking for cheese. The lesson I appreciated from this book is about being unafraid. I guess I have too many fears but I hope I'll be able to face them all. I know Faith is the answer.
