We all need inspiration in our lives, we get motivated and moved by that inspiration and this will become something which is a reason to move on and live our life. The persons whom we are considering as an inspiration are the legends. They walked in the toughest paths and paved through the situations which are deemedto be without a solution.
At the end of their struggle, they found a solution and proved the entire world wrong. They handled the criticism and various discriminations in their lives, personally broken, but used their passion to lift up their spirit and move on.
If we peek into the History, we will find such legends in every country and in every field. These legends bios are still the golden words to the young generations today. Knowing this fact, the author, Ashraf Haggag wrote LEGENDS OVER GENERATIONS. This is the compilation of the persons who are the true legends. His writing style is amazing and anybody would like to continue in the flow, we will be carried away in that flow of words once if we open and read the few lines from the book.
REVIEW
The book Legends Over Generations, by Ashraf Haggag, is the book which is a must-read one in these days, where many are lacking inspiration and finding an alternative way to escape from the problems in the personal/professional lives. We must remember that life is a big fight, and that means we need to fight on a daily basis, each and every day we wake up and a new battle is ready at our doorstep.
This book has the legends biographies and they are not much longer to read, but what is covered in the book are enough to boost our spirit. It has the bios of the legends from the below fields.
· Human Rights
· Science
· Politics
· Art & Literature
There are many legends in these particular fields if the author concentrates on all of them, it would be a huge book, and hence handpickedfew of them and represented their bios in such a way so that they would act as a guide to the success. We may not have the same old situations, problems and challenges, we may have huge competitions, but we have that same human blood running in us. we can make it through anything, all we need is a bit of inspiration and a firm determination.
I personally loved the book very much, the real stories of Malala, Martin Luther King Jr. and many are so inspiring. We all knew something about these legends, this book provides a good insight. A girl who is so passionate about the education and took shots from Taliban to gain her educational right, and a lawyer, who didn’t lose his identity and became the leader and carried out the non-violence movement. And the unending spirit of a person in order to invent something which is useful to the society and the upcoming generations. All these personalities are humans like us too, they are in love with their goals and concepts, they would like to do something better to the society, so they dedicated their time, energy and lives to do the best, and they succeeded in the end.
This book can also be used as a teaching book to the kids, it is a good one to explain the children in short of the legends.
For every legend,the author has covered the early life and education, legacy, and their famous quotes. You can also find the signatures under the name of the legends. Am attracted to this.
The conclusion of this book has few amazing words in it. That the author reminds us to stay focused and come out of the comfort zone in which we are living in. We need to push ourselves beyond the limit to taste the success, for this, we have to manage the time, maintain the life and take it to the next level. All this is good to read, but we need to practice these to design our lives to include ourselves in the list of legends.
I would like to quote few lines from the conclusion of LOG,
There are two types of people: strivers and seekers. Strivers know what they want to do early
and can go for it from a young age, the majority of people, however, are seekers. They have to discover what they love.
This is the difference between the two, we need to act according to the same which we would like to turn into.
We must not think that to become a success in our lives we need to go into a no-shave mode (males) and spend all the time in discovering and re-discovering. This is not true we can live a happy life too the following quote supports it.
There is no correlation between success and hours worked, however, Successful people aren't workaholics; they're “work frolics” because they perform and live normally their daily life
