A book that stole my heart. (Saturday, January 8, 2011 / 7:38 AM)
I love reading books.I learn alot from reading books and the funny thing is I used to hate reading book in school,I remember that I started to love reading books when I was 16 I read a book called love story by Erich Segal,thats when I started loving to read Love stories.I have read so many books till then.Books that taught me how important family were,How important is it to treat your friends right.How to be myself,How to live life for myself and not for others,how to be compassionate,how to smile even during the hardest time in my life and most importantly taught me that Life's short and every one deserves a second chance .
I read a book today.The Gift by Cecilia Ahern.
I cried by the end of the book.
The book says:If you can wish one thing for Christmas?What would it be?
The story is about this guy named Lou.
Every day Lou battles with the clock. He always has two places to be at the same time. He always has two things to do at once. When asleep he dreams. In between dreams, he runs through the events of the day while making plans for the next. When at home with his wife and family, his mind is always someplace else.
On his way into work one early winter morning, Lou meets Gabe, a homeless man sitting outside the office building. Intrigued by him and on discovering that he could also be very useful to have around, Lou gets Gabe a job in the post room.
But soon Lou begins to regret helping Gabe. His very presence unsettles Lou – and how does Gabe appear to be in two places at the same time?Jealousy started to intrude him.
As Christmas drew closer, Lou started to understand the value of time. He sees what is truly important in life yet at the same time he learns the harshest lesson of all.
The gift was a story about people who, not unlike parcels, hide secrets. They cover themselves in layers until the right person unwraps them and discovers what’s inside. Sometimes you have to be unravelled in order to find out who you really are.
This book taught me 3 things:
1)Career is only part of life you should never make it your life.
2)Being rich and sucessful is not the only things that brings happiness to life.Its important to be sucessful but its not everything.
3)Cherish your loved ones,the time you spend with them determine their level of love for you.
It was a well written book.The book talked about life,family and love.One of the best.
The next book that I have started reading is P.S I Love You also by Cecilia Ahren.I have the movie in my laptop but I otld myself I am only going to watch it probably after I have finished the book:)
