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. 


THE END

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 home.

Last days with International Medical Corps-Afghanistan

 Last days with International Medical Corps-Afghanistan  So, these are my last days with IMC-Afghanistan. I joined IMC, at the beginning of July-2022. And I had intended to stay, at least for a year. However, turns out I was not going to stay in Sar-e-Pul city for long; fate had something different for me. I was able to be accepted into World Vision International-Afghanistan, as a Monitoring and Evaluation Officer in my own home city. The written test for the position was, like two months ago. I don't know why they took so much time to conduct their interviews. Since I was not able to attend the interview in person, I requested them if they would take my interview through Skype, and luckily they agreed. My interview went well, you know, like not really well, but well enough. It seemed that my co-applicants' were not as good as mine. A day after my interview I received a call from WVI-Afghanistan country office in Herat city. The guy, who introduced himself as HR Officer, told m

I am Still Here

  Frankly, I never thought I would be in Afghanistan even after three years of college graduation. By now I thought I'd be somewhere far off but sadly I am still here. I am not sure when I'd be able to leave. I am afraid if I stayed here for long I might not wanna leave. Plus I am getting older by each year. There is the matter of marriage also. I am not sure how much longer I can keep postponing it. I am not worried so much about the marriage though, still, it seems like I should start thinking about it. But then again marriage can wait but education can't.  I am thinking of starting my higher education online. With the Taliban and their unpredictable rules, getting a passport to travel abroad is not guaranteed. So online education is my only way forward. I am thinking of settling down here; if only I could find the right person. Marriage is a very tricky business, there is no margin for error. For now, I can start my online studies and after a year or two when I am close
