I have been learning a lot of stuff during the past few years through my pursue of becoming successful in life. The most important thing is that you must feel the success in yourself as success itself can means a lot of stuff in terms of health, monetary rewards, relationship and many many more.

You may have heard from a lot of successful people that reading personal development book aka self-help books help in their progress towards being successful in life. Personally, I totally agreed with this above statement as my journey to success started through reading books.

Recently, I have read one of my mentor blog post on The Power of Daily Incremental. The blog post is about spending 15-20 minutes of your time daily to read books that can help to improve yourself and it only takes 1 percent of your day. After reading and watching the video in the blog post, it sparks my mind as it talks about learning through reading books from your neighborhood library. I am going to share with you what I have learned from the often visits of my local library.

This is a concept that I realized while trying to find the books I want to borrow from the library. So what is the concept that I want to share with all of you who are reading this post that I felt is very important? While trying to find a particular popular book in the library, I will always visit the library to try my luck to see whether someone else has returned the book. However, I did not manage to catch the book in time that caused me having to wait again for the next person to return. I am not willing to spend the money to reserve the book and in the end, before the person returned the book, someone else had already reserved the book and I have to wait again for that person to return before I can borrow. I have this belief that I will be able to borrow the book somehow or rather as the book will never be removed from the library and I managed to get hold of the book after few months of pursuing.

To make long story short, what I’m trying to get to you is that you can relate my above incident with what you are trying to achieve in your life. As all of us know that becoming successful in life is definitely achievable as so many people has already done it before us, if we are persistent and keep on pursuing our success journey, we will definitely be able to achieve whatever we want in our lives. You can definitely cut short the process if you are willing to pay the price (the reserved fees that I did not put initially) but no matter what, if you keep on persist, you will definitely get what you want.

Cheers

P.S This is what I have learned from my visits to the library, if you have any learning experiences too, do share with us here in the comments area.

P.P.S Find out whether you can check the loan status of your library books through the internet, please do not go and check at the library unless you want to borrow other books too as this may be a waste of precious time. (Didn’t know can check from internet until much visits…)
