While traveling around, He always carried a diary to note down, what he gained from every new journey.
On every journey he takes, he always thinks that do anything freely and happily and does not even fear anything. Whatever it may be, and however it may always give your best in every task you do in life.
One day, he meets Naina who is a writer and is having difficulty with writer's block. When she talks to him about her current situation. He gave her his diary and talked to her about his life journey, what are the odd ships he took.
There are many quotes in this book I liked. This book is a collection of amazing quotes that hit hard. while reading those quotes and his life journey, I come to know that, everyone has struggles and everyone has good & bad days. because of that we can't just sit and think about it. We need to move forward and try to solve those things in different means. Every word in the book is so connected with our daily life.
”I think somewhere along the line I have distracted myself with the wrong wants, desires, expectations, and aspirations. As though the more I want, the bigger the goal, the loftier the vision, the more trapped I feel today, sort of bound to that future which I may or may not like when I get there.”
What do you think about this, do you guys also feel like this? Think about things? Like the future, tomorrow what happens after solving problems and facing difficulties, like that? Sometimes we don't want to think those things right, but our mind directly leads to those thoughts.
"Every Decision holds potential consequences. Some you can see, you will discover"
"Life is set up that way, what rises falls, what falls rises, what comes forth, will soon retreat - that is a certainty"
From the beginning to the end, I'm traveling with the book, this is enjoyable to read. And, for me know many things that we need in our life. Each page in the book tells you a different and knowledgeable story.
When I say "changed your life", it doesn't mean that he/she has done something extraordinary that changed your course of life. It's about the little things. Helping you when you are in distress or giving a little push that you've always looked for.
"The Wise man said" is also about such a stranger who has changed and inspired an author when she is not happy with her life.
Naina is the author of three books which have inspired and transformed the lives of her readers. She achieved the success that she always dreamt of. She has got name and fame but still, she is not happy with her current life. Then, she encounters an old man named Sammy. Sammy is a man who spends most of the days of his life travelling to different places without a penny in his pocket. He writes about all his experiences in a diary. When he comes to know about the author's situation, he leaves his diary with her. From here, the stories in this book are all about Sammy's experiences - the places that he visited, the people that he met and the lessons that he learnt.
All the stories succeed to teach valuable lessons to the readers. My favourites are “The man who gave too much” and “Where did the man go”. While I couldn't connect to a few stories as a few things mentioned seemed to be difficult to actually implement in real life for me. It is my personal experience. So, there is a possibility that you may feel connected to those stories. I wish that Naina's views, learnings and her journey of transforming her life are mentioned in further stories, not only limiting the character to the first few pages. However, there are insightful and thought-provoking lessons that you shouldn't miss.
I would recommend this book if you love reading self-help books or if you're a beginner and want to read short inspirational books, you can pick this one.
