I
just started reading the new IRead program book, Peaks and Valleys by Spencer Johnson. Not too often do I actually take time out and
sit down and read a book but this book is required for me to read in several of
my classes this semester. As soon as I opened the book it grasped my attention
and I could not put it down. The book
tells a story about a man who lives in a valley and wants to get to the peak
but on his way up there he meets an old man who gives him advice on the peaks
and valleys of life.
Peaks
and Valleys can be used in our everyday life. As I was reading the book it made
me realize that shifting our thinking about the ups and downs in our lives can change
how long we dwell in the personal valleys or savor the personal peaks of life.
If
you have not read this book you really should. There are tons of quotes and
inspiration sayings for you think about and apply in your everyday life.
This is one of my favorite quotes from the book.
It sounds like a lot of folks in the College of Education are impressed with their iREAD selection this time around. The freshmen in CURR1013 are reading _Our Iceberg Is Melting_, about how to bring about positive change.
ReplyDeletePeaks and Valley's is a book that I really enjoyed the book because everyone has a time in there life where they are down and everyone has a moment where they are up and we share it with people.
