Excerpt from A Handbook of Life Skills by Neerja Bhatnagar |
If any of the topics covered above interest you, I highly
recommend this book for you. It will be an excellent guide to
personal growth and improvement!
One of the book's strengths is its practical approach. After
introducing each topic, the author outlines steps for improvement, making
it easy for readers to follow and implement the lessons in their daily
lives.
One of my favorite chapater is Goal Setting & Planning,
and this chapter really hit me. It starts with the inspiring story of Dr. A. P.
J. Abdul Kalam, a man known for his vision, leadership, and unwavering
dedication to his goals.
From a young age, Dr. Kalam had a burning desire to
learn and succeed. He had a clear vision of what he wanted to achieve and
worked tirelessly to turn his dreams into reality.
As a child, Dr. Kalam aspired to become a pilot.
Unfortunately, his poor eyesight made that dream impossible. But instead of
giving up, he re-evaluated his situation and shifted his focus toward science
and technology, ultimately resetting his goal to become a scientist. This
adaptability and resilience are truly inspiring.
Reading this chapter was a wake-up call for me. It reminded
me that, as children, we often have different dreams that we might not pursue.
The chapter also outlines several steps for setting effective goals and
highlights the advantages of doing so.
Why wait until 2025 to start working on your dreams? With
just a few months left in the year, now is the perfect time to read this book
and set your goals for the future. Let’s make the most of the time we have and
take that first step toward achieving our dreams!
I made a point to take time with each chapter, jotting
down notes and reflecting on how I could incorporate these insights into my own
life. However, it’s important to remember that change doesn’t
happen overnight. The insights presented in the book "A Hand Book Of Life
Skills" require consistent effort, re-reading and practise to get the results.
Overall Take Away:
I really enjoyed the writing style of the author, and the
language used is simple, making it easy to connect with the insights. The
inspiring stories presented in each chapter serve as powerful examples that
many readers can relate to.
The author not only shares inspiring stories but also
provides clear, actionable steps. The format is beautifully
organized, which keeps readers engaged throughout. Each point is easy to
follow, making it a practical guide for anyone looking to pursue their dreams.
Overall, this book is both motivating and informative. If
you are ready to set your goals and start planning for the future, this book is
an excellent resource to help you on your journey!
I encourage all my readers to take your time with each chapter. Reflect on the steps and think
about how you can incorporate these lessons into your everyday routine. With
dedication, you will start to notice positive shifts in your own mindset.
