A roller coster ride of motivation & inspiration. The parts I liked the most: >about the film '300', prepare for the glory. >Lisa Ray's fight against cancer. >South Africa-New Zealand test series, 1953 & the real life story of Bob-Nerisa, teenage sweethearts. ( I bet their story can bring tears in your eyelids.) Now the book: use of words, just fantastic & so balanced. It increased my vocab to a better level than before. >Ruswa Mazlumi's poem, fabulous.
Lastly I wanna say, go for it, I cannot say that it can change your life but I bet it'll change your perception towards life. \o/
