Shoe Dog



Author - Phil Knight

Brief - A memoir by the creator of Nike

Summary

"you are remembered for the rules you break"

I'd never witnessed anything quite like that race. And yet I didn't just witness it. I took part in it. Days later I felt sore in my hams and quads. This, I decided, this is what sports are, what they can do.

Like books, sports give people a sense of having lived other lives, of taking part in other people's victories. And defeats. When sports are at their best, the spirit of the fans merges with the spirit of the athlete, and in convergence, in that transference, is the oneness that the mystics talk about.

Author - Haruki Murakami

Brief - Memoir of Murakami who is a Novelist by profession as well as a long-distance marathon runner. 

Summary of the book:

Maybe it's pointless act like pouring water in the pan which has a hole in the bottom, but at least the effort you into it remains. Whether it's good for anything or not, cool or totally uncool, in the final analysis, what's most important is what you can't see but can feel in your heart. To be able to grasp something of value, sometimes you have to perform seemingly inefficient acts.

My time, the rank I attain, My outward appearance - all of these are secondary. For a runner like me, what's really important is reaching the goal I set myself, under my own power. I give it everything I have, endure what needs enduring, and am able, in my own way, to be satisfied.

Stay There

"Sometimes I do not like to capture it. I feel it will distract, I just want to stay there..... at the moment and be in there"

The last scene of the movie "The secret life of Walter Mitty" resonated with my philosophy in life that some moments in life are so precious and beautiful that you can't/shouldn't try yo capture them in a photo. They are to be lived and that is the best way to preserve and cherish them.

All the beautiful moments you had in your life can't be captured through any other means but by saving them in your heart.

Let her go

Thanks to a very close friend who shared this song with me........ and it sounds so true......



Here is the video & Lyrics... So Enjoy!!!



Well you only need the light when it's burning low 
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow 
Only know you love her when you let her go 
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low 
Only hate the road when you're missing home 
Only know you love her when you let her go 
And you let her go 

Staring at the bottom of your glass 
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last 
But dreams come slow and they go so fast 
You see her when you close your eyes 
Maybe one day you'll understand why 
Everything you touch surely dies 

But you only need the light when it's burning low 
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow 
Only know you love her when you let her go 
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low 
Only hate the road when you're missing home 
Only know you love her when you let her go 

Staring at the ceiling in the dark 
Same old empty feeling in your heart 
'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast 
Well you see her when you fall asleep 
But never to touch and never to keep 
'Cause you loved her too much and you dive too deep 

Well you only need the light when it's burning low 
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow 
Only know you love her when you let her go 
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low 
Only hate the road when you're missing home 
Only know you love her when you let her go 
And you let her go 
Oh oh oh no 
And you let her go 
Oh oh oh no 
Well you let her go 

'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low 
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow 
Only know you love her when you let her go 
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low 
Only hate the road when you're missing home 
Only know you love her when you let her go 

'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low 
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow 
Only know you love her when you let her go 
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low 
Only hate the road when you're missing home 
Only know you love her when you let her go 
And you let her go

Is this the right question?





The answer is never important, but what is important is to ask the Right Question. The solution that the answer provides lies in the fact that what the real problem is.
