If you want some good relationship advice that doesn't make you wade through a lot of verbiage, John Maxwell's little gem provides what you need. Quotes by John and others over the course of time will be easy enough to remember, even if they aren't always so easy to apply (but only because of our lack of desire to do so). This book isn't meant to delve deeply into solving relationship issues; but if you start to apply even some of these (what should be) obvious tips, you'll no doubt find your relationships improving.

كتاب صغير جداً ، ويمكن أن أطلق عليه كتيّب ، أقيمه بنجمتين ونصف ، هو عبارة عن مجموعة من الأمثال والحكم من مختلف الثقافات العالمية ..

وإليكم نماذج عشوائية من الكتاب :

-لن أخطئ في الحديث عن أي شخص ، وسأتحدث بكل الخير الذي أعرفه عن الجميع .

-الناس يشعرون بالوحدة ، لأنهم يبنون الحوائط بدلا من الجسور *جوزيف نيوتن

-من ترسو سفينته بانتظام يجد أقاربه على رصيف الميناء .

-الأب الحكيم من يعرف طفله * شكسبير

-هناك ندرة في الصداقة وليس في الأصدقاء .

- الصديق الجيّد هو أقرب أقاربي.

-من يجد زوجة فقد وجد شيئا صالحا.

-خلف كل إنجاز زوجة فخورة ، وحماة مندهشة .

- إنك لا تختار عائلتك . إنهم هدية الله لك ، كما أنك هديته لهم .

بعض الأمثال والحكم أفقدتها الترجمة جمالها وبريقها ، وربما أبهمت معناها .

I was skeptical about reading this book. It just looked like a waste of time, but I found a lot of really great quotes. Most of them useful for all areas of life. I may have to actually read it again soon.

في بعض الأحيان يكون الفوز بمعركة أسوأ من أن تخسرها.
كن أحكم من الآخرين إن استطعت ولكن لا تخبرهم بذلك.
