The Third Door by Alex Banyan

 The Third Door by Alex Banyan 

 
   I gotta say first I liked the way this book started but soon it changes from it's main idea. It went completely astray. The starting idea of the book was how to overcome  procrastination  and work our dream; and also how to find out what truly we want. The starting journey really inspiring but soon turned in to  a creepy stalking story. Where the writer the creepy stalker. Leaving everything to just talk to famous and successful people. But I just don't get there is nothing unknown about those people to public. There have been written hundreds of books about them and there are millions of video on youtube.  One by going through them can find out everything about those entrepreneurs. 

    His main list was really great but he only ended up interviewing only Bill Gates from that list. Which was by the way a worst interview of it's kind. Instead of asking how Bill Gates overcome all those challenges of teenage; he asked about his marketing strategies. Who are you dude? my business partner!!! He was asking these obnoxious questions like he was also an entrepreneur, try to sale him his product. 

    No one from his main list of successful people gave a crap about  him except Bill Gates. Instead his interviewed some other very less popular people. I can't believe he took a complete year off because of all these stupid and fruitless interviews. Non of those people whom he interviewed had said anything at all. It was just a repetition of what we all including knew about those people. 
 
    I must say I was surprised by seeing that this book had a very high rating. I just could not uderstand what the hell did learn from all those interviews. He wasted three years of his life and result was what?! A stupid book filled with repeated and already know facts and ideas. I don't about others things he might have learned but I think in those three years he became the world's best creepy stalker. What he did with his life after all these obsolete interviews is also vague. But when I searched him on youtube a video of him popped out. Apparently he became kind of motivational speaker as if we did not already have enough of those  freaks. By seeing his youtube video I realized the guy whom he described himself to be in the book and the guy in real life are completely different. 

    Well! This was another three days of my life which I am never going to get back.

And the Mountains Echoed by Khalid Husseini

 And the Mountains Echoed by Khalid Husseini  This one is the third book from Khalid Husseini which I have read, and the second one which I finished completely. This is a story about love, loyalty, and compassion sacrifice. It is very different than the previous two of his book in which he focuses on the main characters but in this one, you won't have the same experience. Just when you think you are getting connected deeply with a character; it ends. And the story starts to be someone entirely different with a bit of connection with the previous character.          When it starts you would think it is about Abdullah and his little sister Pari; which quite of portion it really is about. But then another chapter starts and a new character rises and a new story beings. In short, you won't get attached to a single character.        I was a little bit disappointed because it was nothing I had expected I mean Khalid Husseini always writes...

And Yet the Life Goes On

And Yet the Life Goes On I have been meaning to write for the last couple of months, but I never got the chance to do so. there is a lot of stuff I want to write about and I honestly do not know where to begin. Nevertheless, I am going to have to begin from somewhere, so here it is: In the last five months while I was working for Save the Children International, a lot of things happened. I got to meet with a lot of good and useful people; I had so much fun working with the FSL team in Andkhoy District of Faryab Province; I found so many good friends; I earned some money and I saved some for my higher education; I fell in love with a beautiful girl and got my heart broken by her; I traveled a lot and got to visit places that I had never before; I learned a lot of things from my supervisor M Alem Abrar, the kindest and the sweetest person in the world and at the end, I left it before even my contract was over.  Now I am with International Medical Corps in a new city far away from hom...

First blog

My first blog.....!  As a guy grew up in a non English speaking country, far away from all English deals and stuff had hoped that after leaving  native country and going to  a foreign one where they teach in English would probably be fluent in speaking this precious language.  My first step was to go to turkey for my bachelor from where I could easily could be accepted in UK's Universities for my master's.  During high school I gave my hundred percent and did all i could do to prepare myself for National Exam of my homeland after 12, well I had done in that pretty well and I had scored really well 342.766 out of 360 got the first position in my province. still i remember that morning when my best friend samim called me from my hometown to tell me about result, i was living with my sister in her house in kabul after Exam for a change, so he told me that we both had been accepted to our favorite university, Kabul university the best in the country in civi...
