How $1 changed my life!!!
It's about a day, it was really hot outside. The sun was on the edge to cut the skin. Friday we all thought that the sun is nearer to us as compared to any other day. I was leaving for my office before the regular routine. On my way to the office, this was a place where I used to spend some of my time checking out books placed on the road corner floor.
While checking out some books, I checked various attractive titles and authors. Some books were unknown to me but as a judgment after reading the title was somehow correct. I found a book the name "Start with Why" by Simon Sinek. I bought it for about $1. Staying the whole day in the office, there was a visual of that coverage of the book, in red and white color but with a big why on it.
As I reached home I left the table after dinner and went to my bed along with the book to open up the polythene covering. Finally, I started reading it and it took almost 4 hours regularly when I felt that I must rest now and go to sleep as it was too late at night. But honestly, I was pushed from inside, so I kept on reading.
It pushed me to read and read because I was getting into the book, and it happened for the first time that I get too much into it. After the long reading, I started asking some questions to myself that WHY??
That big WHY, was something that changed my mindset and the way I think before. Finding the possibilities in regular visible things in front of me, I started of WHY this is happening, WHY I want a house to live in, WHY I want a family to live with, WHY I want a friend to share my feelings with, WHY I want food to feel my body comfortable and fueled, WHY water was important to all the mankind, WHY thinking something that others don't is important, WHY asking questions to your own self is very important, WHY getting aggressive to yourself for the future is important and pivotal, WHY reading is important, WHY being a successful person is important, WHY thinking out of the box is important, WHY it's not good to be a slave of your desires, WHY this big WHY is important.

After all, I thought and come to a conclusion, Why only today I am asking myself these questions?
DO YOU KNOW WHY?
Well, I got the answer. Because while reading the booking I was not reading my thoughts, I was reading someone else thoughts, way of thinking, and looking into things from someone else perspective.
On that day I learned how you get changed sometimes after reading a different way of thinking from the mob. Reading is important, but doing what you planned according to your circumstances is the only key to being a successful person, As Winton Churchill once said:
"No one would do such things, you do"

2 年I have found this question WHY? Very powerful. I remember starting out into business and Enterprenureship, I had no idea ?? of asking myself the why. I though it was kind of a nosey question ??. During my time working and being involved with startups, the WHY? Was the foundation of it all... Thats when I first got to K ow it's value. I started question my friendships, my outdoor events, my responses, my involvement into something... I always wanted to know why I am doing something - first for me... Then the why for the other party. Till today, I find it a great foundation in decision making. Our WHY gives us reason to carry on cause what we want is in that particular path. I love the writing you have shared about your WHY journey, it's realy amazing.
