Positive Thinking by: Amit Abraham
Do you wish to achieve perfection, both in your relationship with yourself as well as with others? I know that you know but you do not know that you really do not know - get to know your 'self While reading this book each one of you will say "I know". No one knows himself better than the individual himself but how truthful are you about yourself? The biggest liar is the one who lies to himself. Do you really think you are the individual you know? Think and then think about what you have thought. Is it what you really thought? Ask your conscience because in this world there is nothing more honest and sincere than one's conscience. The two great movers of the human mind are the desire of good and the fear of evil. One should have a desire to be good and do well. Desire is the key to motivation. It is the key to develop a healthy personality and a positive attitude towards oneself and others.

A literary journey through yearning, identity, and the quiet ache of becoming. Jaeon has always been too quiet. Too observant. Too much.

Told in six parts, drifting between waking and dream, When Freedom Whispers is not just the story of two boys falling in love. It's the story of one boy searching for himself- For the right to feel. To question. To be held without flinching. As reality begins to blur and longing takes on a life of its own, Jaeon is drawn toward something-someone-that feels like truth. But truth doesn't always speak in daylight. Sometimes, it arrives in dreams. In silence. In the warmth of a hand that finally stays. This is a fantasy- Of intimacy that defies labels. Of love that reshapes reality. Of healing that begins in the places no one sees. This is a romance- But not the kind you've read before.Complete
