Which one? The Blue Ocean Strategy? or Built to Last?
Blue Ocean Strategy isn't easy to read and understand. For me, I found it a little confusing and beyond my level. I need to somehow stop after a paragraph to rephrase what I had read and think in the reality world. Yet to finish though.
Built to Last is much more easier to read as it is almost the same as other motivational books except they did explain to us regarding the effort they put in to do survey in order to get the gist of the success stories from those successful leaders/people. A good read.

Currently reading: The New Science of Getting Rich - Wallace D. Wattles  thumbup.gif

Good thread, TS.

The concept of BOS is rather simple, i think Geminist has pointed it out clearly for you. In short, i think BOS is quite a bullshit cos BOS is everywhere, it speaks the current world trendy especially the internet. so it could be red yellow green ocean, just a name and a tactic to sell another book. I was trying to stop u when i first read your post when u mentioned about ordering it... too bad im too late it is already in ur bookshelf. tongue.gif

After reading a few posts by you here i would suggest:

1) go google more about those books before u buy them. go read some review about them. facebook has got a very good application to have ppl review books that they read, i usually decide to buy or not to buy after im done with that.

2) i think you problem of being inconsistency is bcos u are still in the seeking stage of your life. It takes one who has passion to excel in something. So, i would hope that u dont overly focus on reading motivational books. U should also expand your reading tastes, as well as lifestyle, attitude etc.

Your first post gave me an impression that u r gonna list out some good motivation books, do you intend to do so?

I personally found benefited by two great books which was such an eye opener in my life. HOpe u like them too

The Secret
The Science of Getting Rich

The 2nd was same author as urs, im not sure if it is the same book? smile.gif nowadays writers are very tricky biggrin.gif

I can see you have got some suggestions for me. I appreciate those suggestion a lot. And, I shall google  more about books before intending to buy them. Usually the reason why I have not been reading book review from the internet is because it's like watching a movie by yourself instead of having someone roughly tell you how the movie is going to go about in between the scenes.


I know what u mean. But investing time and money on sth might not be useful in ur life/regret, im afraid i have such a short life for this investment. So, i always go for review. Yes i will be happy to add u in facebook as long as u pm your email to me and i will try to add u. Meanwhile u can search for weread in the bf search bar. after that add up your e bookshelf so that ur freinds know what books u have read so far or whats on your wishlist. i found it amusing and enjoying in my older account, but i think im tired of setting it up in my current fb account cos i got greedy and added a few of this type of application tongue.gif

Yup, I'm still seeking or maybe should I say looking for a best way to adapt myself and equip myself in this competitive world. I agree with you for the point of passion lead us to excel in something. I think you had "see" me through, I'm sort of overly focus on reading motivational books. I find it kinda hard to expand my reading tastes or maybe you can suggest me with the areas I should start on expanding? Each and every time I go into a book store, the motivational books section attract me the most. And, I would search around and look around and read some of those who attracts me the most. I seldom go to other sections which I believe do have some good books as well.
Im sorry but only you yourself can help expanding your reading tastes. Actually i have done a lot of reading online in the past 10yrs. We get tremendous info online, a good book on hand sometimes are luxury of time and $. As for search of life purposes, I would suggest u try reaching out spiritually. Not only from books, go socialize and go make conversations with ppl. Of cos, again, u can do it online too, eg, /k/ or Cupit Corner smile.gif These are relatively quick way to get socialize with others minds. If u care for more serious topics, go to RWI maybe? I havnet checked ur profile, sorry if i sound like im introducing LYN to you. But i was merely sharing. Somtimes I amusing myself by reading posts everywhere on LYN, eg, Music corner, understanding how musicians feels/talks about their world. Or I even took a peek into men's fashion world, men's version that Girls Club where ppl talk about men stuff. Maybe this way u can slowly find out wat u want in ur life? Afterall, making money or excel at work is not entirely life s all about ~

Get a hobby, go for exercises/sport, have a good meals once a while, or even go for a solo solitude trip, perhaps?

Yes, it is indeed true that I'm trying to post up some good motivational books. However, it might be kinda slow for an updated good motivational books as the prices of the books are like sky high? And, I'm still an undergraduate. I need time to save up for purchasing good books. Haha! Recently, I'm interested on The Audacity of Hope, by Barack Obama & The Snowball - Warren Buffett and the Business of Life. But, I still haven't got those 2 books though. I will get it sooon.
I thou the list is supposed to be contributed by all members here? i havent go thr all others have written here so far, only skipped and read what u wrote, so im not sure what have u gathered so far. Im supporting you to keep this thread alive, i believe in positive thinking, everyone needs to live life positively!

regards ~
