Words have the power to make or
mar a person. And quotations have the power to create a magical impact in very
few words. No wonder I love them and I begin my day with one such quote each
day depending on my mood. I have a huge collection of such books as they
inspire me in more than one ways. I was more than happy when I received an
email from the author’s office asking me to review this wonderful book on
quotes written by the author.
I have heard a lot about the
author’s previous works especially I am another you and I was looking for an
opportunity to read her books. This email felt like a God-sent opportunity to
me as I had great expectations from the author and I was not disappointed.

‘Me’ Thinks
I simply love quotes for the
sheer power they exude in the least amount of words. Robin Sharma, Ruskin Bond,
Paulo Coelho and many other authors’ books on quotations adorn my book shelf in
my office cabin as I look up to them for some inspiration daily.
I was looking forward to reading
this book when I had received this email requesting for a review as this book
is full of quotes. Each and every quote written here are completely original as
she shares her thoughts on winning, happiness, courage, love, hope, self worth,
humour, attitude, self belief and more. Some of the thoughts made me cry, some
made me smile, while some took me down the memory lane as they reminded me of
some people, incidents and lessons learnt the hard way in my life. It was a
very overwhelming experience to read this page as it made me see life in an
altogether new perspective.
There is definitely much more to
life than just the pain, sorrow, hurt, anger, hatred, jealousy, want and desire
that we constantly chase them leaving behind the joyous things in life like
love, friends, success, smiles, laughter and beautiful memories.
The book is neatly categorized
into things like happiness, attitude, hope, praise and success. The most
beautiful thing in this book was the dedication the author has written to her
mom:
Mom, I love you.
If I should choose I live again, it would be only to have you in my
life.
I would choose you, yet again, not because you love me so dearly.
I would choose you only to allow myself that reciprocation, for one
lifetime is not enough, clearly.
No matter what life has chosen for your day, you have chosen love.
You choose to be gracious and giving, no matter what anyone does.
I will love you for all eternity and will express it in every word, for
you are not only an outstanding person but also the best mom in the world.
I had tears in my eyes as I read
this and was speechless for quite some time.
This book is something I would
love to recommend to each one sheerly for the beauty and originality of the
quotes.
Thank you so much Priya Kumar for
giving me an opportunity to review such a wonderful book!
