A new dawn beckons....Part I

Recently, I was reintroduced to Robin Sharma's works by one of my colleagues, Udhay. I say "Reintroduced" because, I had read a few of his books a few years back. To be honest, I had found them good, but nothing spectacular. I am not too sure about the reason though. May be because, I was never a self help guide fan. I would rather prefer teachings by Vivekananda, which charges me up any day, any time.

But this guy, Udhay has always been a huge fan of Robin Sharma. So much so that, while talking to him, more often than not, you get a feeling as if Robin is the only writer alive in this modern world, But his infectious conviction, eventually forced me to pick up a book of this Leadership Guru last week. And a couple of days after that, I was also presented another one at my office, again by Udhay(his initiative). The first one was, "Who will cry when you die" and the second was "The Greatness Guide".

Incidentally, I had also bought a couple of other books, one being "The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown and the second one being, "The Rozaball Line" by Aswin Shanghi.

Given my usual habit, I would have finished these two thrillers at one go in a few days time, even before I could even spare a look at a newspaper. But a diffenrent experience was about to happen to me, this time around.

Guess what! I have not looked at the news paper for the past few days all right, but the books I have finished are not these fictions. I will, eventually though, as I love them. But, for a change, I picked up the "Who will..." book of Robin and ended up being hooked. I finished that, I took up "The Greatness...", completed that, then rushed to the nearest book store, bought a third one by the same author. That was called, "The Greatness Guide 2". I'm almost finishing that now.

Just amazing!!! Each time I pick up his books, they just make me smile. Such powerful thoughts and ideas! Contrary to my earlier experience, Robin doesn't preach at all. He just shares experiences! And thats what makes you identify with his language.

I must thank two guys from the bottom of my heart for this....one Udhay and two Robin.

I'm running short on time, hence will emphasize on the why part in the next post.

Good bye till then. Have a great day!!

Thought for the day: "BE A ROCKSTAR AT WORK."
