Dream Dubai” is an interesting and eye-opening novel written by young Bhutanese author,Tempa Tshering. “Dream Dubai” is a very heart-touching story of an unemployed single mother who sets off to a foreign land with a hope to live a good life, only to face the worst experiences  abroad. She suffered a lot in this mysterious place where no one was there to assist her. Without her knowledge, she was being trafficked by a woman whom she considered as a guardian angel . 

She provided a place  to live in and basic necessities when in Dubai. Being there, she thought she would have a bright future for her daughter with the amount of money she would be able to earn there. But  she ends up arriving somewhere much worse.

I would say, this book gives us a lesson on how we should not be blinded by someone else’s promises especially in a foreign land. All things that glitters are not gold, just because someone is in a foreign land and is earning huge amount of money does not mean we have to jump to that place without a clear understanding of the actual situation there. 

Leadership Wisdom by Robin Sharma talks about an extraordinary leader who turned around the fate of an organization by following simple leadership rituals. It shows  eight rituals of visionary leadership endorsed in this book highlight the transformational leadership conduct of an inspiring leader.  The book is divided into two parts: “The Leader’s Mindset” and “The Leader’s Skillset.”

Part one focuses on the mindset and attitudes that are essential for effective leadership, such as self-awareness, purpose, and vision. Part two focuses on the practical skills that are necessary for successful leadership, such as communication, delegation, and coaching.

Throughout the book, the author shares insights and practical advice based on his years of experience as a leadership expert and coach. The book is filled with real-life examples and stories that illustrate the principles and concepts.

“Leadership Wisdom” is the importance of self-awareness for effective leadership. Leaders who are self-aware are better able to understand their strengths and weaknesses, communicate effectively, and build strong relationships with their team members. Leaders must have a clear sense of purpose and vision, leaders who are able to articulate a compelling vision and inspire their team members to work towards it are more likely to achieve success. This book provides practical advice on how to develop a clear sense of purpose and vision, and how to communicate this effectively to team members.

The book also emphasizes the importance of effective communication, delegation, and coaching for successful leadership. Robin provides practical tips and strategies for improving these skills, as well as for building strong relationships with team members and fostering a positive and productive culture within the organization. 

You Can Win helps us to establish new goals, develop a new sense of purpose, and generate new ideas about yourself and our future. The book enables us to translate positive thinking into attitude, ambition and action to give you the winning edge. A positive attitude can be cultivated. When most people dream of finding success, they don’t spend much time thinking about the difficulties they’ll encounter along the way. For most of us, failure is inevitable. Success is the product of bouncing back from failure not avoiding it .Positive and negative outlooks are also applicable to organizations and institutions. Many people think the culture of a business can be measured by looking at revenue, wages, and work environment. In fact, emotions, attitudes, and relationships are just as important perhaps more important. Organizations that are lagging behind their goals  should  look first to the attitudes of their employees. 

In short this book will help us to:

•  Build confidence by mastering the seven

 steps to positive thinking.

•  Be successful by turning weaknesses into 

 strengths.

•  Gain credibility by doing the right things for the right 

reasons.

• Take charge by controlling things instead of letting them

 control you.

• Build trust by developing mutual respect with people around us.

• Self-esteem helps to shape successes and failures.

The main idea  of this book is that making our bed every morning is a good way to start building the habits and self-discipline.  Life is a struggle and the potential for failure is ever present, but those who live in fear of failure, or hardship, or embarrassment will never achieve their potential. Without handwork, without occasionally sliding down the rope headfirst, without daring greatly, we  will never know what is truly possible in your life. No matter how good we are, we will still end up as a sugar cookie. Nothing can replace the strength and comfort of one’s faith, but sometimes the simple act of making our bed can give us the lift we need to start our day and provide the satisfaction to end it right.

Think and Grow Rich ia about  focusing on a passionate desire , having faith in oneself, training the subconscious to believe in success, and developing a detailed plan, anyone can grow rich. It is essential to have faith that the  desire will come true.  Believing anything negative will cause the subconscious to translate the negativity into reality, sabotaging the final goal.  A person should act as if the desire has already been achieved and constantly visualize success. 

Repeat the stated goal often and it will start to sound true. Success comes from knowing what you want to achieve and having a burning desire to achieve it. 

“No Man Is an Island” Summary

The poem explains that we are all connected to other humans, even though sometimes we think we are separate. If we are all part of a common humanity, it means we have to care about each other. The author  describes how all humans are connected and do not live or die in isolation from one another. He philosophizes that every individual’s life affects everyone else’s life. The poem says that it doesn’t matter how small or big a person is, whether you are related by blood or not, their death will affect you because all humans are part of one collective. It does not matter who you are, every human is an equally important part of the human race. Our differences do not make us lesser or greater than another person .
