ছোট্ট কিউট একটা বই। পড়ে মজা পাবেন। সহজ ভাষায় এবং বড় ফন্টে লেখার কারণে পড়তে সময়ও লাগবে না বেশি।
যারা প্রচুর ননফিকশন পড়েন তারা হয়তো নতুন কিছু না পেয়ে হতাশ হতে পারেন। তবে অনেকগুলো বইয়ের সারাংশ এই বইতে পাওয়া যাচ্ছে, এভাবে চিন্তা করলে পড়ে মজা পাবেন। আমার বেশ ভালো লেগেছে পড়ে।

In this video I talked about six steps preparing for higher education abroad. The steps are as follows:

1. Choose the course and note down the requirements.

2. Apply for new passport or renew the old one if necessary.

3. Start preparing for IELTS, GRE, SAT or whatever you need as soon as possible.

4. Collect all the main certificates.

5. Collect any other certificates that might be useful.

6. Networking.

"Who Moved My Cheese" is one of my all-time favourite stories. If you ask me to name five of my favourite books, this one will definitely be one of them.

This simple and quick read story tells you the simple truth of the importance of change in your life. Dr Spencer Johnson says, nothing gets better until you change. I surely agree with him.

By reading this book you will learn how to:

1. Anticipate change

2. Adapt to change quickly

3. Enjoy change

4. Be ready to change quickly, again and again

I hope you enjoyed the video and will surely not miss the chance to buy and read this beautiful piece: Who Moved My Cheese? :)

Note: There are some explanations of the main story at the beginning and at the end of the book. I found that part extremely boring because the main story itself explains it very well. There was no explanation needed at all. I would recommend avoiding reading that boring parts. You can simply start with the story and end with it. Happy reading!

#HowToTalkToAnyone #LeilLowndes #CommunicationHacks

I had a small problem. It had to do with my clothes. I was dressed casually as is my wont and wearing slippers- not by any standards of etiquette, suitable attire in which to meet the Prime Minister! When I told Prof. Dhawan about this problem, he told me not to worry about my dress. ''You are beautifully clothed in your success,'' he quipped.

APJ Abdul Kalam
Wings of Fire (an autobiography)

''This book will help you think a little bit more clearly about what you are choosing to find important in life and what you are choosing to find unimportant. I believe that today we are facing a psychological epidemic, one in which people no longer realize it's okay for things to suck sometimes. I know that it sounds intellectually lazy on the surface, but I promise you, it's a life/death sort of issue.''
~ Mark Manson

In this video, I dive into the inspiring story behind When Things Don’t Go Your Way by Haemin Sunim. This book, written by the renowned Zen Buddhist teacher, offers profound insights into finding peace and resilience during life’s toughest challenges. Drawing from his personal experience of online bullying due to his minimalist and Buddhist philosophies, Haemin transformed pain into wisdom, creating a guide for navigating uncertainty, rejection, and loss. I particularly focus on the first chapter and the book’s approach to reframing struggles as opportunities for growth and self-discovery.

P.S. Thanks to ChatGPT for writing this video description for me! :D

Kaizen is a Japanese method for transforming habits, one small step at a time. It is a noun that means good change or improvement.
In this book, Sarah Harvey tried to encourage you to apply Kaizen in every sector of your life. She mainly focused on sharing her own journey of practicing Kaizen everywhere including health, work, home, relationships, etc.
There are some beautiful Japanese proverbs that caught my eye. One of the proverbs is ''a kind word can warm three winter months.'' Who knows, maybe that kind word for your next three winter months is hidden somewhere in this book!
If you are someone who loves Japan and its culture, you will enjoy reading Kaizen. However, except for the word Kaizen, you might already know all the ideas shared in this book. :)

#Kaizen #HabitBuilding #JapaneseCulture

''Before The Coffee Gets Cold will make you think about the age-old question: what would you change if you could travel back in time? More importantly, who would you want to meet, maybe for one last time?''

This book is not that catchy, it is rather simple. The storytelling is slow and yet at the end, you will get a message that might make you think differently about your life and the decisions you made in the past.
Let me be honest with you, it's a good book but surely not as good as people say.

In this video, I dive into The Art of Being Alone—a book that explores the beauty of solitude and how it can lead to self-discovery and personal growth. Whether you enjoy your own company or struggle with loneliness, this book offers valuable insights on turning alone time into a strength.
