Let me tell you what surprised me today.
I picked up another book, only a small slender volume.
The following thoughts went through my mind, before I really looked at it: Another book, I read it and then I forget what I have read.
I asked myself questions: What will I learn from reading the book? Will the reading of the book influence my life? How will it change my life? There are more questions of course.
But when I opened the book I was surprised to find questions at the end of the first reading. There were in fact two really good questions and the reader is encouraged to tell the answer.
I actually believe that answering questions like that is changing the life of people, also mine.
