Review and Opinion
Am currently reading this book, "Caterpillar to Butterfly - Joy Forever," an e-book I downloaded few months ago. Left in the rarely access folder and finally found when I was in my boring exploration through my notebook.
I haven't finished the book, or I would rather say I just started reading the book. But I found a lot of wise words in it. Thus, I couldn't resist to post it and keep it as a reminder, for myself. The book starts with an incredible example, pictures how human life is, compared to the much helpless creature than human, Bird.
Everything is certainly True.
The author wrote lots and lots of beautiful phrases in it, conveyed as live disourses deliver by a spiritual guru, a character in the novel.
"The stars in the sky do not give up their luminance just because they think the moon and sun are brighter. We may not notice an individual star in the sky but overall, they make up for beautiful night sky. They contribute to the divine plan"
More phrases to quote, take it as old rerun tape as a light to dispel the darkness in our mind.
Love the starting. Continue reading... =D

"All material things are dead. They are throphies that are of no use to anyone or any use to us because we leave everything behind, when we die. However, throughout our lives, we prefer to chain ourselves to accomplishments and give up our freedom in our bid to quench our limitless needs and desires.
Look at the rose, the moon and the sky and then look at a throphy that glitters on the shelf. What uplifts the spirit?
What belongs to everyone, gives joy to everyone. An object owned by one person alone, can achive no such thing.
In our attempts to collect trophies, we forget the essence of being alive and free. We become prisoners of our limited worlds of relative achievement. Relative because one person's seemingly extraordinary achievement, fails to impress another.
Throw 50 grains of wheat to a bird and it will eat to its heart's content, then fly away in peace. Not a single grain will it take with it for tomorrow.
But if it is a human being....
Well, then things are different!"

What's the file size?
If the book is not open-source, that would have made u a pirate.
Cw
I am definitely not a pirate. =P You can actually download it from free-ebooks.net. Just need to sign up an be a member.
But... There is a big BUT about this e-book. Haha... When u first open, there is actually 200+ pages, here the 'but' comes. haha... the story is repeating. It's actually around 30 pages of writting only. Piuh... But I admit the starting is interesting, or I would rather say, the whole novel was interesting, as it is so short, too short, it picks our mind a little bit only, and vice versa. If can give more of those wise words, then will be better. =D Greedy. Haha
Will send it to you, anyway.
I browsed through. It's really repeating... many times! -_-
It must be a technique to make something looks thick. Maybe I can do that for FYP.
Anyhow.. what you quoted from him was really profound. : ]
Cw
I forgot. Thank you. ; ]

If you were going to do that to your FYP, then I can guarantee you're going to fail all the 3 modules. Need not to submit =P
Anyway, enjoy your coming third year... Wakakkakakakka
Oh yah, Welcomed! =D
