\"\"<\/a>I’m a typical Jack. Jack of all trades, master of none. It’s pretty obvious based on my blog content. I have no specific agenda, never a defined time for updating my blog.<\/p>\n

Allow me to share with you a “scenic” shot of my bedside table. I am currently reading 6 books. Yes, 6 books. I’ve started reading them since last year. I have yet to finish any of them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The problem with me is, I get distracted when I see a new book. I start going through the first few pages, then I’m hooked. While I am still reading the first book, either I will buy another book or someone coincidentally passes an interesting book to me.<\/p>\n

For an example, “Cultivation of Tao”. This book was a free door gift when I attended a Buddhism lecture. With all due respect, the lecture, as expected was long winded, lengthy and philosophical. It was not even my intention to have any interest on the book. I brought the book home nevertheless. I place the book on my desk. One fine day, I flip the pages and a photo caught my eye’s attention. It was the drawing of the “Devil”. I paused and look at it intensely. “How on earth can a mortal describe the “Devil” in drawing. Have anyone seen one before?” I questioned the book. I have yet to discover the answer.
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next, it is the “Rice Mother”. My friend left it in my room. I read only 2 pages. I’m sure its a motherly book about the kitchen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> Dale Carnegie books are my favourite. I have several books from him. I now worry if I can still afford to buy anymore new books from him. I think I’ve completed the “Stop Worrying” part and I yet to unfold how to live a better life. I think year 2007 will be a good year to start living.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> “People Styles at Work”, it is a good read if you are dealing with oxymoron at work. I highly recommend this book for those suffering with idiots in the making in the corporate world.<\/p>\n

Last but not least, “365 Nirvana here and now” was my year 2005 Christmas gift. I wasn’t diligent enough to read it daily, thus I think I still have 340 Nirvanas to go. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you look closely, I have another book on the bedside table. Its a “4 in one” book. I hide it. I don’t think I can handle 10 books in a year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
