Hai,

Biographies - Experience taught us in a new way!

We have to read biographies and autobiographies as it twist our life. twisting towards understanding of life in a better way...

Every life has the same challenges;;; everyone sails in life, the tides of happiness and sad, disappointment, trust and distrust, financial burden and sufficient money, hardships in relationship, hunger and food wastage, motivated and demotivated, success and failure ... goes on...

There is a push and pull always.. you struggle to overcome every part of life and when you look back, you either pat yourself or regret the way you handled.. Maturity teaches you all... to be patient, to believe good things will happen, not all things in your control..

The first biography book, i read was Autobiography of M K Gandhi , when i was doing my college - I did not like Gandhi and wondered how he can be father of our nation- who had beaten his wife and the one who had broke up his promises given to his mother... After few years, i started realized what a man he was. I admired him for admitting his mistakes publicly- the courage it requires. He would have put down his mask, hiding those things to the people, who had worshipped him and who was an idol to the world... Now I am proud to have him as our Father of Nation.. This book changed me - to admit my wrong doings..and i know i am not going to repeat it again. That gives an inbound strength to me and had shaped my character.

We admire leaders as they show the confidence, the ladder they had climbed in, the stars in their hand... How many of us know, that they also lived a life of ours.. ? Then where the change happened / the difference between their and our lives.. We will know they had looked for possibilities/ opportunities in every struggle/hardship, but not left their passion for anything at all....They all had goal in their early childhood...

We would advise you to read Biographies / Autobiography, to learn success people are not different from us. They too have weakness. To know who they are really.. To understand their writing in a better way... We learn the society they lived in and about HISTORY of their time and most of it for this quote of Warren Buffet :-

When People Tell Me that they have learned from experience, i tell them that the trick is to learn from other people's experience.

Another one from Mehmet Murat Ildan:-

Since you cannot experience everything, you need the experiences of others.
