A good book, a good guidance
August 9, 2010 7:10 am Book Reviews
When we start our life, we need guidelines from our parents. Then we need guideline about our career from our teachers (like teachers who make us read adventures of huckleberry finn). And for the rest of our life in may occasion we need help, some suggestion and guideline which we find from our friends and families. Some people also need professional counselors too. But if we think the best service then surely books can give us correct guidance all the time. This is because no man over his selfish mind. But if you think about a book, you can trust on it because it is not selfish. It will be not biased with somebody or some thing. What a book say to you, is the fact. So that if you have some good books in your room then they will be the best friends for you.
Do you know there is a saying that says the wise person is who know the limitation of his knowledge? That is if you want to be wise then you need to know about your limitation. You need to justify yourself to find out your value. And no one will help you most in that case like a book. You can read the books about the successful people, their life and what you can find that is they know about their limitation. And they express their thinking in their writings. Once you could get close to them, then you also can feel their line of thinking and find out how to be happy. The main reason that a book can guide you is because it contains the justified knowledge of the writer. There is nothing more or less information here. In some books like the autobiographies you will also find how a person overcome tons of problems and pressures but still manage to get to the success. There is nothing more inspirational to you than these true stories.
It is a unique characteristic of humans that they can absorb the experience or practical knowledge about their surroundings from learning or hearing stories and other people’s experiences. And it is true that you have followed many things in your daily life without noticing that this practices or behaviors are developed by your unconscious mind after looking someone or reading some books in your childhood. Lots of our dreams are influenced by our childhood experiences and our parents. So it is practical that you may not notice about what you have just read today but one day when you will be in the similar situation, then your unconscious mind will tell you what to do which you have actually absorbed from today’s reading.
We learn in the family and school about the world around us. But if you want to know about yourself, then you need to read books. Just like an honest and wise friend, a good book will show the path for you when you need some light in you life.
