What if you could … change the world for a fiver?
I love books and I can quite happily spend ages in a bookstore ‘just browsing’. One of the good things about bookstores (in my experience) is the assistant or owner quite happy for you to do just that – browse! Invariably there will be a purchase made before leaving the store, often several …well when one has spent such a long time browsing, flicking through pages to check the print size, reading the opening paragraphs, reviewing comments on the back page, generating an interest – it really seems a shame to put the book back on the shelf! Don’t you agree? I have taken to playing games whilst book browsing. I search for those with unusual and intriguing titles … those that invite my sense of curiosity to explore further. My findings often bemuse, surprise and make me chuckle. For me, this beautifully illustrates why we should never ‘judge a book by its cover’! On my office bookshelf, amidst the serious business books, heavy weather reading, reference manuals and professional journals are several little reading gems. One of my current favourites is ‘Change the World for a Fiver’ - 50 actions to change the world and make you feel good. A great book to dip into from time to time and be inspired. This is a lovely book to give or receive as a gift and all of this …a fiver! Something to think about this week: If you could change the world for a fiver, what would you do?
