I am making a big move in relation to my career this year. I did not planned this one out but I think this is a good move for me. I am thrilled of this decision and I hope this will pan out properly. I cannot announce it yet since I am still finalizing something.
A friend of mine asked help for a start up company that he will be establishing this year. I am also excited to see how I can help him on that but I see that as an opportunity for me to grow.
The past months I've tried listening to audio books since I cannot easily finish reading books paperback or kindle. So far I've finished:
1. Five Love Languages
The Five Languages are:
1. Gifts
2. Words of Affirmation
3. Quality Time
4. Physical Touch
5. Acts of Services
These are not means to manipulate the people you love but communicate with to them that they are loved.
I recommend this book to everyone especially for married couples.
2. The Shack
I bought a paperback version of this book few years ago. I read it on my flight from US to the Philippines.It blew my mind and I cried so many times.
It has changed the way I view my spiritual walk.
I decided to listen to the audio version and it is quite as good. I totally enjoyed this book.
3. How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci: Seven Steps to Genius Every Day
I first saw this book while I was in college and I have long been curious what are concepts behind the cover. If you are trying to learn more about the person, Leonardo da Vinci, this is NOT the book for you. But if you want to have a good enjoyable read and learn new things in the area of wine drinking, classical music, mind maps, and other various topics then this book is for you.
If you are interested what are the Seven Steps to Genius here they are from (Amazon.com)
- Curiosita: An insatiably curious approach to life.
- Dimonstratzione: A commitment to test knowledge through experience.
- Sensazione: The continual refinement of the senses, especially sight, as the means to clarify experience.
- Sfumato: A willingness to embrace ambiguity, paradox, and uncertainty.
- Arte/Scienza: The development of the balance between science and art, logic and imagination ("whole-brain thinking").
- Corporalita: The cultivation of ambidexterity, fitness, and poise.
- Connessione: A recognition and appreciation for the connectedness of all things and phenomena; "systems thinking."
I am currently listening to the following:
1. Body Language: What you need to know.
One of the very first books that I've read was about body language. Sadly I forgot the title of that little book. I was really good. I learned a lot of tricks from that book.
I am hoping I can get more from this one.
I found that there is another book on this subject that I may want to read in the future:
2. Divergent.
I wanted some variety on the books that I listen to so I listened to this one. One of the considerations I had in picking this book is that this is now a motion picture but I did not watch this on the cinema. I want to listen to this book and watch it on DVD.
Here are few books on queue:
1. Power of Right Believing by Joseph Prince
This is Pastor Joseph Prince's new book. It's hard to listen to it because it is not Pastor Prince who is reading it and I am used to listening to Joseph Prince's passionate words.
But I will try again until I complete this book.
2. Breakout by Joel Osteen.
I have a hard time completing this book. It was just sitting there on my Audible app. I purchased this last year and I could not finish it. I will try once more.
3. UNSTUFF Your Life!
I picked this book because I want to learn how to organize my stuff but I could not finish it also. :)
4. Kotter books - Leading Change and Heart of Change.
5. Lead with a Story
In conclusion, I want to find time for me to read all of these books for my personal enjoyment and satisfaction. This reminds me of one of Solomon's advice : "On making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body."
