101 Cosas Que Ya Sabes, Pero Siempre Olvidas

by Ernie J. Zelinski

La experiencia aumenta nuestro conocimiento, pero no disminuye necesariamente la cantidad de nuestras equivocaciones. Este libro trata de esas cosas verdaderamente importantes que todos nosotros ya hemos aprendido, pero por alguna misteriosa razón seguimos olvidando. Se trata, sencillamente, de que actuamos guiados por las emociones en lugar de consultar con nuestro intelecto. Saber qué situaciones hay que evitar y qué principios hemos de seguir es importante para tener una vida feliz y satisfactoria. No conseguir comportarse de acuerdo con todos estos principios y lecciones puede afectar drásticamente nuestro éxito personal y profesional. El objetivo de esta obra es ayudar al lector a reducir al mínimo el número de cosas importantes de la vida que sigue olvidando y la cantidad de ocasiones en que las olvide. Es todo lo que necesita para mostrar su sabiduría: <>.

Algunas cosas probablemente se me vayan a volver a olvidar, otras no tanto.

[Chazzle · Rating 3 out of 5]

A real grab-bag of 101 essays, most two pages long, encouraging listening to one's own drummer and not working too hard. Who could disagree with these sentiments?

I read about two thirds of the essays, which are very creatively titled. For example, one chapter is titled "Wise people learn more from fools than fools learn from wise people." Intriguing titles like these abound. The essays themselves tend to be so-so, but almost always have a sentence or two that really hit home. The author has a pretty good sense of humor, as well; for example, he advises that the couch, the bag of potato chips, and the tv set should NOT be your 3 best friends. (Obvious, but cute.)

Many of the topics didn't really apply to me, or seemed so obvious, that I felt better leaving them for another day, or more likely, another life.

My favorite quote in the book: "Unhappiness is not knowing what you want, and working very hard to get it."

Libro fácil de leer con capítulos independientes y 3 capítulos extras además de los 101. Como muchos de los libros de este género no dice nada que no se sepa ya a excepción de algunas cosas que pueden resultar nuevas porque por mucho que queramos, no lo sabemos todo.

Es un libro que está bien para leer de vez en cuando porque es cierto que, aunque todas estas cosas las sabemos, tendemos a olvidarlas en nuestro día a día. Y nunca viene mal refrescar conocimientos.

[Joe · Rating 2 out of 5]

Pretty disappointed overall.

A series of two page essays on obvious truths.

Was hoping for some insight or cleverness, but it was filled with things you already know, things you don't need told to you again, and lots of trite, only loosely-related quotes.

The premise was good, the execution was severely lacking.

[Rumen Pasev · Rating 5 out of 5]

One only gets a report and not the pleasure or the involvement of the journey. As a long term educator and one whose specialties are literature and writing, there is a loftier goal here. I see this as a thought provoking book for an entitlement generation of parents to use as a guideline to help them find a way to guide their entitlement engorged off spring back toward some semblance of happiness and self-fulfillment. It's purpose is to make all of us think. It's purpose is to intrigue those whose education and abilities of understanding allow them to use their gifts of perception, intuitive thinking, and imagination to devise plans using these strong moral foundations to create parenting that produces viable, and productive and morally consciously children. For those less able to glen the deeper lessons, there is still a simple plan in the story where one cane understand how to use the techniques in even the same simple manners as the author has and change the entitlement attitudes of so many who live there in this young generation.

Ernie Zelinski has put together a book with sage advice as a chapter heading then spends a couple pages reflecting and expanding on it. A nice quick read and I felt is was time well spent, so much so that I bought the book after returning my library copy.
