The Secret ∩ Essence of Happiness = Happiness

At last, I blog again, after quite some time.

This time I want to share about 2 books, 2 different books but have quite similar point.
1. The Secret by Rhonda B.
2. Essence of Happiness by Dalai Lama.

Both books talked about some different things but they have 1 thing in commong, it is happiness.
It said that we should always try to be happy because by being happy we invite good things to our life. In contrary if we always have a bad feeling like sad, anger, despair, then we invite bad things to our life.

In practical, I my self has try it, trying to be happy, and yes, good things are happen in my life. But it is not easy to always being happy. Some times there are times where it is difficult to be happy even if we try to.
 In the Essence of Happiness book it is said that being happy need practice, a constant long term practice of being happy, maybe we need to train more in order to be happy in any situation.

Some Best Books I've Ever Read - TMWSHF

I would like to share about a book that I read about some months ago in year 2011.
This book is titled The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, by Robin Sharma. Its a small and not so thick book. In my opinion this is a super great book, and I reccomend anyone to read it. This book is so inspiring yet entertaining, I enjoyed every chapter of it, its has a unique way like a self improvement novel. And while I was reading it, I feel like a great enlightening secret has been revealed to me.

This book tell us about the seven virtue of life.

Virtue 1: The Garden -> the mind.
Virtue 2: The Lighthouse -> goals, purposes.
Virtue 3: The Sumo Wrestler -> kaizen / continous improvements.
Virtue 4: The Pink Wire ->discipline.
Virtue 5: The Stopwatch -> the essence of time.
Virtue 6: The Roses -> doing good deeds to others.
Virtue 7: The Winding Path of Diamonds -> living in the now.

These are just the big line of the book and may not represent all of the precious informations inside the book. I reccommend you to read it and I'm sure it will be worthy. Let me know your thought after you read it. Good night.
