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

Lost in this Strange World

when I was a kid I thought I will figure out everything when I am younger, but apparently, that was just a childish dream of mine. I had thought by this age I would understand most things and would be able to make decisions about my life so easily. It is just so hard to make peace with the fact that I will never figure out everything and that I will always have doubts. I don't want to sound ungrateful because I really am not. I understand that the life I am living right now is a dream for thousands of young people in my homeland. However, I am not happy. I just don't know why? The reason for my unhappiness might be the people around me most of whom are impossible to understand. I work in a very prestigious international humanitarian organization but I don't like it here as much as I should. most of the people working here are insanely stupid and unbelievably arrogant. there is no teamwork. Every single department acts like an independent republic. No spirit of collaboration...

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 ...

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...
