Things You Can Learn From The Book "JONATHAN LIVINGSTON SEAGULL"

Hello, 




Yesterday I read the book about seagull who really wants to how to fly not just because it helps him to find food but just for fun. His name is Jonathan Livingston. And I want to tell you 8 things that you can learn from his story. It's a small story that I think everyone should read because it helps you understand who you really are and what you want. The story is not about seagulls, is about people and their relationships.

1. Believe in yourself.

Sometimes it's hard. OK, it's always to believe in yourself, believe that you are worth to have everything that you want. But Jonathan believes and after all he makes his dreams come true.

“You have the freedom to be yourself, your true self, here and now, and nothing can stand in your way".” 

2. Believe in your dreams

It's not the same as believe in yourself. Jonathan had doubts about his dream. He tries hard but nothing worked and he was disappointed in the dream...

"There’s no way around it. I am a seagull. I am limited by nature. If I were meant to learn so much about flying, I’d have charts for brains. If I were meant to fly at speed I’d have falcon’s short wings, and live on mice instead of fish. My father was right. I must forget this foolishness. I must fly home to the Flock and be content as I am, as a poor limited seagull."

but only for a moment

3. Don't listen anyone

I think there is need no words to explain this. Just don't listen. They know nothing about you, your dreams, your goals

“Jonathan sighed. The price of being misunderstood, he thought. They call you devil or they call you god.” 

Sometimes even your parents don't understand you

“Why ,Jon ,why?” His mother asked. “Why is it so hard to be like the rest of the flock, Jon? Why can’t you leave low flying to the pelicans, the albatross? Why don’t you eat? Jon, you are bone and feathers!"

4. Make your dreams come true.

Do everything to get closer to your dream. Do everything even they seem impossible because all things are possible until they are proved impossible and even the impossible may only be so, as of now. Try over and over again.

"He felt better for his decision to be just another one of the  Flock.

There would be no ties now to the force that  had  driven  him  to  learn,

there would be no more challenge and no more failure. And it  was  pretty,

just to stop thinking, and fly through the dark, toward the  lights  above

the beach."

5. Be a coach

Help people who want to know things that you've already known. Teach other people who want to do the same things you do

"Jonathan stayed and worked with the new birds coming in, who were all

very bright and quick with their lessons. But the old feeling  came  back,

and he couldn't help but think that there might be one or two  gulls  back

on Earth who would be able to learn, too. How  much  more  would  he  have

known by now if Chiang had come to him on the day that he was Outcast!"

6. You always can find people who understand you

When you what you love you finally find people who love the same things as you do. They can be your friends. They can teach you some things that you don't know.

He recovered to level flight and was  quiet  for  a  time  before  he spoke. 

"Very well," he said, "who are you?"

     "We're from your Flock, Jonathan. We are your  brothers."  The  words

were strong and calm. "We've come to take you higher, to take you home."

     "Home I have none. Flock I have none. I am Outcast. And we fly now at

the peak of the Great Mountain Wind. Beyond a few hundred feet, I can lift

this old body no higher."

     "But you can Jonathan. For you have learned. One school is  finished,

and the time has come for another to begin."

7. Be obsessed with your idea

"Each of us is in truth an idea of the Great Gull, an unlimited idea of freedom"

8. Don't let your dreams just be dreams

“Don’t believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding. Find out what you already know and you will see the way to fly.”

Flowers for Algernon

Hello, 

Today I want to tell you about the wonderful novel is Flowers for Algeron written by Daniel Keyes. Keyes created a masterpiece. I will not argue that the author selected topic that remains a rare nowadays, not at all. But the Keyes wrote the story much earlier, that is one of the first to develop this theme so widely.

Happy to tell you why this book is truly unique.

First, it is written in the form of a person's diary. Secondly, Daniel has kept the spelling and punctuation of the author of this diary! It would seem, what's the trick? And it is that this diary belongs to Charly Gordon is a young guy with a very low level of intelligence. The guy became a participant-volunteer medical experiment to increase the efficiency of the brain. Well and, thirdly, Keyes opened this topic not as do the current authors. He wrote from a position of kindness and sincerity. Humanity.

I admired of the story of man who changing from the inside. Charly grows wiser in all directions simultaneously, and these changes are simply amazing! Really believe that he is not the figment of imagination of a talented author, but a real, once living people, and you're holding his report. The report should be noted, very detailed and diligent, with sparkling dialogue and important details. And the more intelligent Charly becomes, the more detail he gives us, the more he adds his own thoughts and not just telling about what happened.

Of course, at first, to read his meager records it is very difficult, not even because of the fact that he makes mistakes in every word. Here everything is complicated by the incoherence, primitive Charly's thinking.

Throughout the series, Charly not only learns to write correctly, but begins to express more smoothly. In the book, several subplots, there is romance, and career, and the theme of friends, and the subject of reverent attitude to the experimental mouse.

Reading "Flowers for Algernon", I kept thinking about the fact that sometimes people with low IQ are more sensitive, kind than pundits and geniuses. To be honest, I like stupid Charly more than a genius Charly.

The book makes you think about what's most important in life - about love, about humanity, about relationships between people, about what really matters, and spend time on what is not necessary.

Shopaholic Abroad {Shopaholic Takes Manhattan}

Hello, 

I finally understood that it is already summer. I could not just relax because of exams and such things. When it was all over, I realized that I for long time didn't read anything. And I decided to start July with an amazing and relaxing book about a young and beautiful girl who has a "small" shopping addiction. Let me introduce Rebecca Bloomwood. But before we start I want to tell that it is the first book I've read in the Shopaholic series. This is the first book that caught my eye. I've seen the movie "Confessions of a Shopaholic" and think: "why not read the book". Actually, it's the second book in series but I wasn't lost in guess about what's going on. So I think you can start reading from any book that you liked.

But back to Rebecca. She has a perfect boyfriend Luke and amazing job on television but because of her addiction she also has some troubles with her high debts. Well deal with these debts, being one-up on envious, she gets an offer from Luke to move to America, and anywhere else but New York. And we all know that New York is a paradise for a shopaholic. Shops, shops, shops. Everywhere. How can you resist?

Becca decided to see the city, a three-hour tour of the city, but after 20 minutes she was already in the store. The Guggenheim Museum was exchanged on the sale. Although the girl tried to control myself. A website that advertises all the sales in New York just won her heart. But the debts are always on the alert.

But this time the debt didn't just hit the financial position of our heroine, but also destroyed her reputation of a financial consultant (as person can give tips for Finance if he has a huge debt), broke the relationship and humiliated her to the world.

A girl like Rebecca can't just give up, she will be able to solve all the problems, even if she has nothing left. And in the end she'll find her true calling.

QUOTES

“It's a big step, moving to a new city, especially a city as extreme as New York. It's not the same as London..."
"I know," I nod. "You have to get your nails done.” 

“Visiting any shop for the first time is exciting. There's always that buzz as you push open the door; that hope; that belief - that this is going to be the shop of all shops, which will bring you everything you ever wanted, at magically low prices.” 

“The whole point about T-shirts is you choose them in the morning according to your mood, like crystals, or aromatherapy oils.” 

“What is it about shoes? I mean, I like most kind of clothes, but a fabulous pair of shoes can just reduce me to jelly. Sometimes, when no-one else is at home, I open my wardrobe and just stare at all my pairs of shoes, like some mad collector. And once I lined them all up on my bed and took a photograph of them. Which might seem a bit weird, but I thought, I've got loads of photos of people I don't really like, so why not take one of something I love?” 

I think that it's absolutely easy, sparkling, with air bubbles story.
Beautiful, sweet, full of an indescribable charm and fascination. Never better, when one of the characters in the book something similar. And Rebecca Bloomwood - like the majority of girls and women. Only a few do not feel the joy when you buy any items. Only a few don't like to go shopping. Only a few do not want to buy almost the entire range of any store. Someone loves to buy the products, someone who loves bookstores, someone is willing to buy the whole store of their favourite brand.

I recommend you to read the book as literature easy to relax and start with the first part, which I am going to read. Have fun!
