“Reach for the Stars: Give up the good to go for the great” is a part of “Thoughts to Inspire & Celebrate”, one of the great initiative by Jaico Publication House.It is a diminutive book where quotes are amalgamated which are written by different authors, and works for a purpose to make life worth and readers can get atleast a slice of it.
As the back cover says ” The biggest ideas in life are often expressed in the fewest words.JAICO brings you best in the series of ‘Thoughts to Inspire & Celebrate’.There are no long speeches or fancy tributes, but there’s magic on these pages, and you won’t have to search for it.
It’s not who we are that holds us back, it’s who we think we are not.”
Title is attractive, but it depends on the readers how seriously they take it and believe on them and work for the betterment, and how they Reach For The Stars. The content basically revolves around our dream,our life and the way to motivate ourself to aspire our dream and to boost our moral,to overcome from our fear and to reach our destination with guts,offer opportunity your best service and never let it go back from your door,to have courage and bravely face all the hurdles and to know our capabilities better and Reach for the Stars.
Such books nicely works when someone fails somewhere in the facet of life,fears to start something new,needs to know his/her inner stabilities and wants to prove his/her existence worth.At such time, such petite thoughts work as a magic and spell magic in our life with its wafting power and directly communicates with our soul and reach to the destination of mind where it gives the permission to access the ‘Start’ button and start afresh.
Some of my favourite quotes from the book are :
Even the darkest hour has only sixty minutes.
When we can no longer change a situation, we are challanged to change ourselves.
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up.The certain way to succeed is always to try just once more time.
Be proud of how far you have come – and have faith in how far you can go!
We don’t try to be 100 percent better; rather one percent better in 100 ways.
A good book to come across with, which merely takes couple of minutes to complete, but may take some time to involve and evolve those thoughts in your life.
Rating- 4/5
