Hi,

I used to think that reading was boring until I found books that really sparked my interest. Reading became important to me because it’s fun and it teaches me new things. It keeps my mind active and inshape and it makes a difference for me if I go long periods without reading books, my mind starts to stagnate.

My favorite book of all the time is East of Eden by John Steinbeck. I liked this book and I loved every page of it. To be honest this is a masterpiece. To this day still is one of the best motivational book I’ve ever read. I enjoyed it for the massages it provides. I have been reading the book and just got to these quotes “And now that, you don’t have to be perfect you can be good.” And “ If you want to be straight allow yourself to be crooked” etc. Truthfully this book gave me a little inspiration to pursue my goals.

Another one is The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. It’s the funniest book I have ever read. I’ve read the book many times, but still makes me laugh. I will share favorite part that I found myself re-reading, you know, Said Arthur,” It's at times like this when I m trapped in a Vogon...... And about to die of asphyxiation in deep space that I really wish I’d listened to what my mother told me when I was young”

“Why, what did she tell you?”

Arthur “ I don’t know, I didn’t listen”.
It’s so insanely funny and It reminds me that you shouldn’t take life so damn seriously.

Do you have any favorite book(s) you real like? Tell us about it, based on how good the book was, and why you think it was the best, what is the favorite part in it?

For those who don’t like reading, y'all should know that reading is the good way to learn new things, to see things in another perspective and to expand your creativity and linguistic skills.

Welcome guys.

G’day.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: The Trilogy of four kuna mtu aliingia kwangu akakiiba wakati sijaanza hata kukisoma, halafu mbaya zaidi nimeachiwa nikisome na mtu mdogo wangu mwaka 2007 hiyo. Nakumbuka kuna siku mdogo wangu alikuwa anasoma kwa nguvu sura moja inasema something like "Thanks to all the fishes" hata nimesahau.

Nimefuata ushauri wako (kuna uzi fulani ulinishauri nisome sana vitabu), nimeanza kusoma vitabu mzee wa kazi.
Naomba "nibariki" na list ya vitabu vyako "pendwa" kama hautojali.
Hakika nitavisoma vyote.

Hello guys,

I just finished reading Frankl's 'Man's Search For Meaning' yesterday. OMG what an amazing read it was!
The book was interesting and could hardly put it down. That was an amazing read and it really changed my outlook on life.

Life means to take responsibility, to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill its tasks.
Frankl indentify 3 categories of things which giving meaning to our lives and inspire us to to continue through hardship.

1.Working towards your goals.
2. Enduring one sufferings.
3. Caring for another person.

So the meaning in life can be found in those three things.

Dostoevski said once, "There is only one thing I dread: not to be worthy of my sufferings." Sufferings is an inherent and integral part of life and we need to find meaning in it. We should stop saying "Why me". We should walk through it with dignity.
You see, let's embrace suffering BUT it only bearable when there is meaning attached to it. Don't suffer for the sake of suffering that will be masochistic rather than heroic.

Each man's life is unique and as such the meaning of life is inevitably different for each individual person.

Here are some quotes which I liked ,
" So live as if you were living already for the second time and as if you had acted the first time as wrongly as you are about to act now!"
" Those who have a 'why' to live, can bear with almost any 'how'""

" In some ways suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning, such as the meaning of a sacrifice."

" I do not forget any good deed done to me & I do not carry a grudge for a bad one."

" To draw an analogy: a man's suffering is similar to the behavior of a gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering is great or little. Therefore the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative."

" when someone loves another person, he or she can see the potential of that person and the meaning the person ought to strive to find. By loving someone, one has the opportunity to help that person find his or her purpose in life."

WOW, I cannot recommend it enough for those who haven't read it. I would say this is one of the must read book for everyone.

And BTW "...Everything can be taken from a man but one thing; the last of the human freedoms—to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." -- Viktor Frankl, Man's Search For Meaning
