Reseña del libro "The Leaf which Refused to Fall (en Inglés)"
This is a work of fiction in which a young man named Barak understands, through various experiences, the mystery of unleashing his talent thereby making him a better person in his life. Every person knows several good quotations and consistently have them in their memory, in fact they use them in their communications, both written and oral. In addition to these we keep learning about fresh ideas and new quotations constantly in our life. But, are we genuinely able to understand the true meaning of these quotations and are able to utilize these in our lives? In reality, most of the people generally do not understand the correct meaning of these great words and are not able to apply the actions recommended by the intended meaning in quotations. Some people, who are able to take the first step in implementing the message in their lives, usually do not achieve results due to half-hearted efforts. Every person wants to improve as it is a necessary element to get success in life. It is to be noted that self-improvement is not simple; it requires considerable motivation and commitment for execution to bring necessary changes in life. This complexity brings resistance in the people's behavior for the implementation of the idea and they find innovative ways and excuses to escape the message of the quotation. Several times a transformative change, in the life of a person, may starts with pain before bringing any pleasure. Several people must have experienced this phenomenon. A classic quotation is believed to be delivering a right message. A quotation is time tested and is evolved over time with experiences of the various people in different generations. A good quotation delivering a right message would add a certain value in the life of an individual, thereby making him happier. Its value addition would create its advocates, who would spread it to other individuals. Over time it would become immortal. In contrast, a wrong quotation cannot deliver true value consistently and would fail to create its advocates to support its life, making it weak and eventually it would die and forgotten. This work of fiction is the story of Barak, who learns about a quotation in his life and sincerely implements it in his life. The meaning of the quotation can be simple but to execute in life may take extraordinary efforts, sincerity and energy. Thought he was able to understand the true meaning of the quotation, but was he able to understand the complete meaning of the quotation? This is an important point for reflection that sometimes we may understand the right interpretation of the message, but we miss out on the completeness of the meaning implied by the quotation. Another important point for consideration is consistency of efforts to bring the positive change in life. Normally success is never immediate and it blesses an individual only after certain number of failures. People tend to lose hope after few failed attempts, instead every next attempt should be with enhanced vigor. Any right change in habit or attitude would add substantial value in life, making it better and enriched. Even a minute change can turn the direction of life taking it towards greatness. This story illustrates the strength of a simple quotation and the value which it can add to our life, if implemented sincerely and appropriately. Several great quotations are waiting to add extensive value to every individual, who is ready to utilize them for her advancement. The purpose of the story is to convince the reader about her unused potential which could catapult the life of a person to much higher levels.
