We lose ourselves in books. We find ourselves there too.

"Boredom"
When we start any habit initially we fill energetic and motivated but with passage of time at some point we face boredom. This is due to repeating same activity each and everyday.

This is here the difference arise between best and worst. The best didn't give up even having boredom.

The most general and important question - "How to stick with good habits every day"

Simple answer is by - " HABIT TRACKING "
This has helped Benjamin Franklin and even comedian Jerry Seinfeld.

Benefits of habit tracking are -
1. it create visual cue that remind you to act.
2. it motivates as you see progress
3. it feel satisfying

We all want immediate results. But this book elobrately discussed that the more immediate pleasure you get from an action, there is probability that end consequence is disastrous.

So, we should focus on long term pleasure rather then immediate one.

We do we repeat any habit or behavior?

The answer is "satisfaction". We tend to repeat those behavior when the experience is satisfying. Conversely, if such experience is not satisfying then we have little reason to repeat.

This pleasure and satisfaction tecahe our brains that the behavior is worth remembering and repeating.

James Clear has mentioned about "four laws of behaviour change" -
- make it obvious
- make it attractive
- make it easy
- make it satisfying

These four laws are apt to inculcate new habit.

Story of Victor Hugo, when he has to finish a book in less than a year. How did he plan to beat his procrastination?

"Commitment device" is the answer to all, who is struggling to follow through on desired plan.
It is choice that a person make in present that control his action inthe future.

We often find it hard to get rid of bad habits or inculcate new good habit. It is because that bad habit has been
- embedded with us from so long time
- getting rid requires lot of effort and motivation.
Same works with good habit. New good habit required lot of motivation and efforts.
Most effecive way-
Reducing friction and making the habit easier and simple. Fit the habit into flow of your life.

We want outcome not the habit!

In reality, we don't want any habit rather we want outcome from that habit. We develop habit as a way to fulfill outcome.

For example, we want to meditate in order to improve focus and to stay calm. Here, we want the outcome from mediation i.e. improve focus and stay calm.

It requires less or minimum of effort and energy to watching movie, scrolling social network sites but at same time studying books, exercising or meditating daily required lot of energy and motivation.

In both cases "energy" similar. One requires less energy, on other hand other require more energy.

Therefore, we as human follow, the Law of Least Effort i.e. people will do work which requires least amount of work.

This diary has left lasting impression. This diary of Anne Frank, a girl who was mature than her age had penned down most tragic 2 years(1942-44). In her diary, she elobrately talked about the pathetic suffering of jews, living in hideaway, relationship between her and parent and other topics like family,friend,love,politics, religion. Anyone will be amazed to know all these topics had been written by girl only of 13-15 years old. Must read book !

A Thousand Splendid Suns | Khaled Hosseini

This book is tour to Afghanistan. Khaled Hosseini beautifully narrated the story of two central characters Mariam and Laila. The way he presented whole story, left me with impression that all events are going infornt of my eye.
This book is tragedy about suffering of two ladies due to conventional and evil forces present in society. Mariam's suffering and her sacrifice left helpless and heartbroken.
I recommend this book to you all!

"One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roof,
or the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her wall."
What a suggestive quote this is ! Whenever anyone is in confusion regarding his or her decisions then this quote must be followed as Laila did!

"Laila is happy here in Murree. But it is not an easy happiness. It is not a happiness without cost."

Indeed, everything has a cost. Laila has given a sacrifice of her beloved friend and hamshira Mariam. She lost her cruel husband, although i don't count it as loss.

The name of book itself suggest that it is full of mystry and suspense. Agatha Christie as she is known as "queen of crime" had prefectly in this book written in such as manner as her title. Best part of this book is that till last, suspense and thrill remain.#mystry#agathachristie

This book is about motivation for not dying, about struggle with death and about understanding life in most difficult and harsh situation. The author himself narrates whole story as he is protagonist. When anyone read this book then understand there must be a reason to live. First part of book is about harsh life in concentration camp but second part dealt with psychology and life. At last book become difficult to understand. Enjoy reading!
