Giving to yourself
December 22nd, 2006Books at Christmas are great gifts. Books about Christmas are not always easy to find. I finished a good one on Thursday. It is Og Mandino’s, The Greatest Salesman In The World. Now I know that does not sound like a Christmas book, but trust me it has a great Christmas twist. I encourage you to pick it up. It is only 104 easy reading pages.
Mandino is a wonderful storyteller. In this book he weaves ten secrets/principles for life into the story. Here they are:
1. I will form good habits and become their slave.
2. I will greet this day with love in my heart.
3. I will persist until I succeed.
4. I am nature’s greatest miracle.
5. I will live this day as if it is my last.
6. Today I will be master of my emotions.
7. I will laugh at the world.
8. Today I will multiply my value a hundredfold.
9. I will act now.
10. I will cry out to God.
I encourage you to purchase the book for yourself. Place it in your stocking. Read it and enjoy.
Merry Christmas!
