Book 2: Reject me! I love it!
Author: John Fuhrman
Recommended For: Anyone who understands that rejection is part of life and wants to do something about it
I have been trying to get this book since last year! This book is out of stock everywhere! Anyway, thank goodness for FED KL cos I managed to grab this book there.
I like books with short chapters. It makes reading seems so much faster.
This books explains the thousands of rejections we often face as child. We hear the word "no!" too many times and as we grow older, we become accustomed to it. We often fear it. We lose confidence in ourselves because of all these noes that we often hear. We forget that when we were younger, we never stop at a "no!" answer. Basically we lost our childlike dtermination as we grow older.
This book also states the importance of association. Hang out with a negative bunch of people long enough and we will end up being negative sooner or later! John Fuhrman keeps stating the problem of people just wanting to be average...nothing to extraordinary. That is the problem! Too many people wants to be average, who is going to lead us?!He says that the best way to solve the 'average people problem' is not to be one of them!
Rejection is inevitable, in fact every no that we get means that we are closer to the yesses! In fact, a no means that we are right on track cos if everyone says yes, there will be a problem with the economy cos there will be no white collar workers. Am I right?
Towards the end of the book, John Fuhrman states that to be positive, there need to be positive input all the time. No use emptying the negative and leave your brain empty. By reading, positivity are being put into your brain and that is when we dilute the negativity in us.
For those of you who keep complaining that you have no time to read, think about this:
Setting aside just 15 minutes a day will enable you to read up to 2 dozen books a year. Keep it up and you will have read 1000 books in your lifetime. Thats equivalent to going college 5 times.(G. Gordan)
I cannot agree more. I am not talking about storybooks or novels ok. We are talking about books that can help us improve ourselves as a human being. Reading fiction books does nothing to us. It just messes with our feelings, not thinking. If we are not thinking, we are denying God's greatest gift to us human beings- the brain.
Charlie Jones mention here, the greatest difference in your life over the next 5 years will be in the books you read and the people you meet. Read any good books lately? Met any great people? If not, you might want to do something to change it, or you will most likely be in the same place as you are now, 5 years from now.
