Now its been a fashion to compile some hundred quotes of others and publishing as a book. ppl good at compilation are now becoming authors. so sad...
Bheema,
Welcome to this space. At least the author does not pretend she is creating something new. What she claims to be doing is what she actually does.
Its much better than a horde of these authors who write motivational, self-help books. They reproduce ancient wisdom, dilute it, use cliche, tailor it for the market and make millions out of it...
Sowmya,
Thnx :)
very true. indeed as a saint told, "there are only a handful of really new thoughts".else were repetition or reproduction of the same thoughts... But they're successful as they're needed by the masses....
