        I may be spoilsport for some . I used to read alots. But I come to realised, if it’s self help books, what you read may work for that author but may not be for you. And I also realised you will lose your ability to think what is really best for yourself if all the ideas in your head are from others (book) -others’ hope and fears, which may or may not apply to your situation, or as much as the author’s. I think can use those ideas as starting framework. But adjust yourself as you go along by what your own observations tell you of your very own situation 🦆


        And books are like maps. To arrive at the destination, we have to do the walk. Only Keep going back to the maps again will not get us to our destination. :siam:

              Why? I think you should be happy reading those books, it means you get leisure time away from the kids haha

                I agree with bbbay with regards to self help books. I don’t read much of those. Think I read only 7 habits of highly effective people and who moved my cheese (if you can even consider that self help). Read those because company sent me for those trainings.


                I prefer to read fiction and biographies. Reading to me is leisure so I don’t want heavy topics.

                      I m just those lazy to read physical books. Even for my previous course, the physical books remain new after exam..nowadays different style, get online resources for research so can read up more.


                      Pregnancy books borrowed fm nlb and returned when due mostly still inside the bag. Just listened to gynae. Only baby naming books I read a few.

                      Guess I m stubborn type..always think own ssues only ownself can solve. Dh sometimes will send me some uplifting video/talk..and that helps but just at that moment..

                      Leisure reading to me is entertainment news and cooking/baking :oops:

                        Now my issue is how to reach out to people like customers? Now is I think mostly using social media to reach out, which is my weakest area :sad:


                        Any recommendation on marketing books/online resources/ what type of people to look for to help us in online marketing?
