Recently I read two good books. One is about "Life is a PITCH". The author is claiming that all the interaction that we do in life is basically us pitching something to others. We are selling and trying to win them over. Our act of pitching is so critical that the outcome will directly our state of being. We subconsciously give values to the way others are pitching. We will either buy in into their arguments or points or will politely or rudely resist them. The pitching is an art well worth learning and practicing. We would not know when it will become handy. Yes, true - Life is a PITCH!
The second book was by Malcolm Gladwell on "David and Goliath" - the art of battling giants. The book was very interesting in that it gives values and meaning to all the weak and downtrodden. Those who are not endowed with talents, strengths, intelligence and other well-praised traits are not meant to always be on the losing side. They can, in fact, thrive on the obvious weakness and limits. The only thing that matters is the desire to capitalize on the available tools and implements the best strategy fitting to it. We do not play by the book, and we do not intend to subdue to others on the pretext of them having, obviously, better advantages. We are going to battle the giants.
Two very interesting and enlightening books. Why not have a read?
