- What difference has reading made to your life?
Reading has been a companion in the time of my life struggles and trials. It has helped me to gather myself when I have experienced inner turmoil. At times, just reading a news article has helped me to look beyond myself and learn from the events happening around me. It has widened my horizons and made me less judgmental and subsequently molded me to become more of a listening person. It has helped me to be open to others and respect their individuality, their views and their opinions, thus making me less self-obsessed and more other-oriented. It has helped me expand my mind to perceive various possibilities and perspectives in life’s queries and problems.
- Any book or author that has had a deep impact on you?
What on Earth Am I Here For? by Rick Warren has changed my outlook, attitude and my perspective of looking at my own life and calling. I read this book years ago, I may not remember its content, but I recall that it answered some questions I had about life, faith, God, purpose of life, etc. One such understanding that I always treasure is the realization of seeing God’s hand even when I can’t feel his presence.
