The Greatest Salesman in The World – Review

This is one of the first spiritual book I have come across in recent times, which doesn’t talk about renunciation of money, instead gives the tips to be the wealthiest person in the world. Don’t go by the name, the book is not only for people who aspire to be salesman but the wisdom in the book is for all of us to treasure.

The book is artistically written by Og Mandino with great emphasis on creating Arabic scenic experience which if one is able to imagine will feel like seeing a classic Arabic nights story. The story is about nuggets of wisdom which every successful person has or should have. Some of the nuggets I liked are as follows


“ To day I begin a new life shedding the old life which for too long suffered with bruises of sufferings”


“I will greet this day with love in my heart”


“ I will persist until I succeed”


“ I am nature’s greatest miracle”


I will live this day as if it is my last day”


“ Today I will be master of my emotions”


“ I will laugh at the world, for no living creature can laugh except human being”


“ Today I will multiply my value to hundred fold”


“ All is worthless, until my beliefs are not followed by an ACT”


All above tenets may look trivial, but you can always try them and experience the difference.

Overall a good read for the soul…

One Night @ Call centre Review

The Book "ONE NIGHT @ CALL CENTER" had a tremendous effect on me. It has only enhanced my faith in the idea that instead of wasting life's precious time in

doing what you dont want to do, Its better to be honest with oneself and speculate What is actually you want to do when you are alive? Definitely the path

chosen by your heart is full of risks, but this the only path which will give you immnse pleasure and satisfaction. So go ahead, even an ordinary man with

simple life can do extraordinary things, if he believes in himself and his dreams.These things are generally realised by the people when they are near to

death, then only they think that they have wasted all there life in doing things they never wanted to , to make money that will not go with them, to please

people they dont like.

According to the book four main ingredients for success are

1. Intelligence

2. Imagination

3. Self Confidence

4. Ability to face Failures



The first two are very common attributes that most of us have. But the last two are possesed by very few.

Once you dare to face failure "head on" then only you will feel a sense of freedom with in you. Then only you will start to follow your dreams without any

fear of failure and then only the real talent in you will come out.

Most of the book is full of crap and ordinary things like date with your girlfriend, break off and other petty things. But the last two chapters makes it a

winner overall. It is full of wisdom. It describes an incident where one sudden accident, and then a call from god . how changes life( in full mess) of six

persons.



So the main idea of book can be summarised in one sentence as:-



"Follow your dreams,without fear of failling, becoz dreams come true"

Go ahead a good reading for the soul....
