Just a thought...

I was given this book called "Creative Visualization" by a friend to read. I just went through a couple pages and I was impressed. Impressed with the way the author stated a few things.
1. Though she wrote the book, she calls herself not an expert rather a student, who is still honing her skills. That is humility for you.
2. She has a burning desire within, which led her to share the knowledge. It says that knowledge should be shared which leads to better understanding.
3. She also mentions the fact that you need to take things slowly. It takes time for things to sink in. In this world where things happen fast and furious, this is a massive thought.
4. She wrote the book, because she wanted to share what she learn't, which helped her live better. Such a noble thought.This is the most important point to me.
Once a colleague of mine saw a book on my desk and asked me what can I get from reading that book. He was of the opinion that books don't do much and its a waste of time and money. I didn't know whether he meant what he said, but the first question that came to my mind was, "How the heck did you even get out of school?". If those authors decided not to share their knowledge, you wouldn't be where you are. Knowledge should be shared.You will gain more when you share.
