Got bored. Picked up “The leader who had no title” book by Robin Sharma. Guess what! Got more bored.Nevertheless, sharing what I felt were interesting quotes from the book:
• We generally take the people we love the most for granted. Until we lose them. Then we take long, silent walks and pray for a second chance to treat them the way they deserved to have been treated. Don’t let that sort of regret infect your life.
• The average life has only 960 months.
• If a man is a street sweeper, he should sweet streets as Michelangelo painted or Beethoven composed. He should sweep so well that hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, “Here lived a great sweeper who did his job well.” –Dr Martin Luther
• Daily ripples of excellence – over time – become a tsunami of success. Every action has a consequence. Doors you did not know existed begin to open.
Nice quotes Ramesh. But then were you sarcastic when you wrote that cheerful comment where I said I was down and out? :( Can't be and no I am not telling you, go figure.

Robin Sharma is such a bore.
ReplyDeleteboss..
ReplyDeleteme worked for a marwari business..
every time there were problems with clearing house agents..
me always used to tell my boss - "just quit them.."
he used to say - "no arvind.. its a husband and wife relationship.. we will wait atleast for 10 quarrels - before quiting!!"
THEY DID!
but who has that amount of patience - as there are millions of doors open - every day!
Next time you become bored go read our blogs.
ReplyDeletei SO not like to read non fiction! lack patience for that..anyway, take care buddy :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of Robin Sharma's books. But I believe the human failure to take someone for granted plays itself out often enough. When do we learn??
ReplyDeleteI generally hate self-improvement books
ReplyDeleteLoved the first quote though
