Further to my article, Soul searching book, I also attended the author's talk subsequently and I really enjoyed it. She really acted like my time machine to take me back to my past, living in darkness and keep hoping to jump out from it. She also related her most enjoyable moment where she turn a sad child into a happy one with a natural and honest smile. I can imagine that sort of valuable reward she had received during her journey in India. 

You may read my preceding article by clicking at the title of this article.

Here, I am deeply delighted to see a brave young lady who had used her courage to do such challenging jobs, to search for something she truly want. Her handsome reward  justified her action and  I thank her for  really giving me the dose of encouragement. It immediately triggered  my long outstanding dream of embarking on something similar to her journey, which I had brought up during my trip in China, which I have blogged a year or two ago. Read more at the link below. I intend to find out more about myself so as to live life to its greatest possible potential.

I temporarily put this plan aside due to my other urgent and immediate commitments. However, after I heard her talk, the plan was brought to live again with some excitements as well. On the way back to my house, as usual my mind again actively explored other possibilities to make it happen much earlier, which I strongly believe it could be done. I have also made a stop and called up my buddy again and share with him this excitement so as to inspire him and get  inspired from him as well.

Another interesting point of this book is on its uniqueness packaging, a A4 size brow paper box comprise of text content; CD; color and black & white photos. See the photo below to have full apprehension of what I mean here.

To help you feel the impact of the book which is rich in emotion and sensation, contain short and precise soul searching passages, I have translated the first chapter of this book into English. I hope that it gives you the kick as I have received from its original version, written in currently available only in Mandarin. At the same time, I am  returning a favour to her for helping me greatly in reviving my dream. I am truly thankful. Having said that, I do hope more people will step forward to write this sort of healthy book to make the world a better place to live. The most important lesson I learn here is that more people can follow her footsteps to reach out to those unfortunate ones and give them some hope to crawl out from the darkest regions. Her well rewarded journey reaffirmed my belief that we need to go through this regularly so as not to enter into comfort zone for too long, which can cause a bondage to us. Bear in mind that such bondage, if we are not careful, can be damaging as well.

She has put across, in an easy to read way, short and precise phrases to express her feeling that really can touch every heart and soul. To obtain its maximum impact, I suggest that you read through the whole chapter briefly and then close your eyes, and imagine that you are like the bird, in this chapter, and indulge yourself into it as if you are the bird flying freely and happily in the sky. Now you get what I meant.

"I wanted to go India for a month," I said.

I then waited patiently,

"Good" you said.

I laughed,

at that spark of the moment, you decided to accept all the consequences

You usually say that you love me to laugh like a child, that's your happiness.

Your continuous effort to let me preserve my natural childish smile, that's my happiness.

You know I am a like bird flying in the sky, and not the caged or imprisoned bird.

You are fully aware that bird needs to fly, wings are to let happiness and sadness  be blown away by the mind, let the heart be free ( much lighter as I actually mean in Mandarin?)  forever.

All in, there are twenty two chapters. The rest of it will at least give you similar impact as the one, above, which I had just shared with you.

Her signature, as appended below, also has its meaning. I strongly believe my signature has as well. In this connection, can someone share some thoughts over it, please before I share out mine, I promised. Fair deal ?

Hope you enjoy reading it. Better still, get hold of it from the outlet nearest to you should you really enjoy reading it, before it starts to cool down. 

Before I pen off, I also like to let you know that the photos enclosed with this package  also have very significant meaning and sensation.
