This book is based on the hindu philosophies that one is all , and that all is one. It is based in what wattles called " The certain way of Thinking". In this book Wattles explain that to be happy have to express in tree different aspects, that are body mind and soul. He ratifies that if you don't have money you can not express them well, so you could not reached you maximum potential. He start to tell in the book that for being successful and for result becoming rich you have to think in a certain way. Also he describe that to be successful you have put goals that are very difficult to reach. So you in a future can super yourself . In the book he explain some examples of people that have the same business on become rich and the other stay poor, because one of them think in the right way and the other . Finally in the remain of the book hi give some tecnics of how invest your money, how to super your self and to never give up if you want to be successful in life. One famous fact of him was in business never go against the tide. This book took my attention because it talks about how to invest your money and talk a little bit about finances.I think Wattles describe vert well the steps that you have to take to be a successful person and as result becoming rich. The tree aspects that he demonstrate impact me because i never think in that to be happy you have to develop and express them in a certain way.This books make think that money is not the most important thing in the world but almost it because nobody can live a decent life with out money. Money represent having food , a good education, going to the doctor to be heath, having a home, and for product being happy. After reading and analysing this book i drop this conclusion to be happy you have to express mind body and soul in comfortable way for doing that you have to live a good live, for developing a good life you have to have money, money is not your life but it occupies a big part of it. Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
Flowers for Algernon is a book about the study of one man, Charlie Gordon. Charlie is a 32-year-old disabled man who has the opportunity to go under a surgical procedure that will dramatically increase his mental capabilities. This procedure had already been made on a laboratory mouse, Algernon, with remarkable results. Charlie will be the first human subject. In a series of progress reports, Charlie documents everything that happens to him. As Charlie's intelligence increases to a genius level, the reader not only reads about the changes from Charlie's point, but also sees the change in Charlie's writing ability. This jump in intelligence is not necessarily a good thing for Charlie. He is now able to recall past events that shaped his life and analyze past friendships for what they were, or weren't. He also has difficulty making new friendships and establishing new relationships due to a lack of social intelligence that the surgery could not correct or anticipate. And, finally, because of his increased intelligence, Charlie is able to discover the experiment's mistake and is reduced to watching the end for both Algernon and himself, hoping to salvage something for the future from his brief bout with genius. I liked this book because it can show how cruel can life be to a disabled man and how difficult is for him daily life with people that are always making fun of him about hes intelligence. I also liked this book because it can show the reality of how people can treat inferior people. I would recommend this book to people that are treating others how they want because they feel they are superior for them to know hoe people can feel under their treatments. |
