The happiness or unhappiness of a man does not depend upon the amount of property or gold he wins. Happiness or misery is in ones soul. A wise man feels at home in every country. The entire universe is the home of a noble soul. - Democritus Julian Mantle returns with the second butterfly

Reconnect!!! Flowers The family that plays together, is the family that stays together, the importance of laughter

THE FIFTH MASTERY OF THE FAMILY LEADER


GIVE YOUR CHILD IMMORTALITY THROUGH THE GIFT OF A LEGACY

Oseola McCarty Do the little things with great love and affection and the big things will take care of themselves. Peoples destiny is to live for something more important than themselves - they live on in the hearts of the people whom they have touched The inners whispers of our heart lead us to our destiny Greatness comes from beginning something in our lives, that does not end with us

CONCLUSION

Key Learnings - In order to lead a 'valuable' life, we need to put family first, savour the simple things in life, highlight a child's greatness by encouraging him/her to specialize in his talents, take weekly sabbaticals to renew oneself and finally, leave a legacy behind - one that keeps us alive even after our death. The reason I like this book is because of the simple instructive way the author counsels us about life. On the downside, there are moments in the book which test the patience of the reader because of the dragging narration. Reading it certainly adds value to the our life by improving the quality of our mind, and enriching us with a generous use of quotes and the famous words of great authors. It also emphasizes the value of time, family and contentment. Small daily improvements over time lead to stunning results.
