"Treat every second as holly, infuse it with love and hard work."- Russel Simmons
I just got through listening to the new book by this mogul. A man who started from
bad influence and has turned his life into an example of a wonderful aspiring being. Overall the book was OK. I preferred his older Do You! book over the new Super Rich: A Guide to Having it All. However, I did write down a few quotes and ideas from it.
In the past I used to drive a lot and devoured audio books. Nowadays my commutes are shorted and it takes me a while to get through books. As a matter of fact for a year or so the CD player in my car was broken and I was forced to listen to the radio. The thing that I enjoy most about my car is the new CD player that allows me to listen to audio books again.
In the past my daily drives averaged about 135(at times 200 miles) to get to work and back. It took a little while to get used to listening to audio books. But once I got used to it I would hate when someone else would be in the car and I had to listen to the radio instead of my CDs.
Actually I felt like I was getting stupid for the last two years. I read new books but the time(60-90 minutes per day) was being wasted. Even though in the past my drive was longer I did not mind it because I was listening to a lot of books I would have read anyway.
The one thing that I found hard to believe was that when I did pick up a book to read, that I had already listened to, my recall was 90% or better. Who would figure that we retain that much while driving.
Today's question is:
"What is the last audio book you listened to?"
