TGIF Week 20 Year 2010 – Reading Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

Saturday, May 22nd, 2010

Last May 21, 2010, I went to office. There’s no assigned task to me so I read Java programming e-book. When I felt bored, I read “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. I learned something about making decisions. Napoleon Hill quoted this statement: “Deeds, and not words, are what count most”. This statement is absolutely correct.

In the afternoon, my sister sent me a bad news. She told me that my cousin Johny De Leon passed away. I felt sad. When I learned that my cousin passed away, I started reminiscing the good times we had. I felt very sad about what happened to my cousin. I realized that we’ll never know when we will die. While we’re alive, let’s be thankful. While we’re alive, let’s enjoy every moment of our life. While we’re alive, let’s do good things to everyone.
