Achieve Success And Happiness

"A book of boundless optimism, and joyful living; designed to make your life truly meaningful". 

This book can not change the world; It can only change you. And it did. This book talks about the following two key aspects :

• What is the secret of success?
• How to find happiness in even small things?

Arthur Pereira is well known for his go-getting approach to life's opportunities and is a firm believer that none can help you more than you can! He is the author of several best-selling books including "Success in 30 Days" which has sold over 1,00,000 copies.

This is one of the best books I have read till now. There are times when we feel low and demotivated. And this book gives thought to motivation in such times. The way the author conveys the messages through poems or stories is amazing. sometimes a lecture doesn't help to understand things that can easily be conveyed through stories.

I like the following part of the poem "Two Ways to Live" in the book. 

There are two ways to live. 

One begins with restraint 

and ends in fulfillment.

The other starts with a lust for pleasure,

and ends in dissatisfaction, weariness of life, 

disappointment, and every kind of neurosis.

I liked the story "Whenever I'm Disappointed..." which is as below :

"Whenever I'm disappointed with my spot in my life, stop and think about little Jamie Scott. Jamie was trying out for a part in a school play. His mother told me that he'd set his heart on being in it, though she feared he would not be chosen.

On the day the parts were awarded, I went with her to collect him after school. Jamie rushed up to her, eyes shining with pride and excitement. 'Guess what Mum,' he shouted, and then said those words that will remain a lesson to me forever: I've been chosen to clap and cheer!'"

How mature this boy was. How he found happiness in small things is amazing.

At last, "The happiest person is the person who thinks the most interesting thoughts."

Vintage Theme Project

This is one of the history projects I made with a vintage theme. Vintage theme projects look very attractive and are easy to make. 

 

 How to make vintage paper at home? 

• Brush the paper with a paste of coffee and water
• Cut the sides in a way that makes it look uneven
• Slightly burn those sides 
• Tear some brown paper and paste it 
• Add some torn pieces of newspaper or magazines 
• Add some aesthetic paper tape and u can draw some designs (optional)
• You can also add some jute thread along with beads and give a border of black paint
