Six Great Lessons I Have Learnt From Reading Books

In this blogpost, I will share six memorable lessons I have learnt from reading books that you can apply in your life. These lessons are drawn from six different books.

10 years ago, I was not used to reading books. In short, I was poor reader. This affected my whole level of concentration in everything.

For example, it took me a lot of time to comprehend a long feature story in a newspaper. I had to read 2-3 times in order to grasp it.

No one could help me on this. I had to fix it myself.

Lesson 2: The Theory of Next

From the Book Winning Through Intimidation -By Robert Ringer

The theory of NEXT states: The key to maintaining a positive mental attitude is to recognize that no one deal is important. The person with a true positive mental attitude possesses the power to say ‘NEXT!’ and quickly move on to the next deal when things don’t work out.

Robert Ringer -Winning Through Intimidation

The author writes; The reason its okay if a deal falls through is because day-to-day ‘failure’ is an integral part of a long-tern success. So part and parcel of to a true positive mental attitude is to quickly move to the next deal when the deal you’ve been working on blows up.

No matter what you do in life, its very important to know where you fall in the cashflow quadrant. It represents four different methods in which income or money is generated. These are Employee, self-employed, business owner and investor. For example, an employee earns money by holding onto a job.

This includes writing a long form sales letter that tells a story and highlights the problems that the product will solve.

Lesson 6: To win in Life Learn and Master the Spiritual Law

From the Book, The Game of Life and How to Play -By Florence Scovel Shinn

It is a game however which cannot be played successfully without the knowledge of the spiritual law, and Old and New Testaments in the Bible gives the rules of the game with wonderful clearness. Jesus thought that it was great game of giving and receiving.

The author uses simple language to help readers understand the spiritual law. We are our on saviors.

And that is it from me.
