Another Worm . . . I Mean Bookworm MeMe - OK Here Goes

Another Worm . . . I Mean Bookworm MeMe - OK Here Goes

This is my second bookworm Meme that I am writing here. I got tagged by James Wexler.

I wrote a post a couple of days ago on the bookworm meme, and I have been tagged again. (this is my last one for now, I am running out of nearby books).

My friend gave me this book named "If" (authored by Evelyn MacFarlane and James Saywell) - which is about the "game of life". It definitely causes reflection with some of these questions.

So - on page 56 - the last sentence (which does go on to page 57 because there are not that many sentences/questions on each page) is:

"If you had to pick the worst driver you know, who would win?"

"If you had to name the craziest thing you ever did in your youth, what would it be?"

See, it is an interesting book, and asks you questions, you my not want to answer.

Here are the rules . . .

Bookworm Meme--I've Been Tagged!

Here's how this meme works:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 56.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next two to five sentences.
5. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book or the intellectual one. Pick the Closest.
6. Tag five people to do the same

****you just can't use the Bible****

Another MeMe . . . A Worm? - No it's- "A Bookworm"

Another MeMe . . . A Worm? - No it's "A Bookworm"

My friend Kat Delong from Lake Arrowhead (you really should go and visit Lake Arrowhead sometime soon - particularly with the holidays approaching) tagged me with this meme, so I followed the instructions to the letter. I grabbed the nearest book. I have this book from a long time ago (but it is always a good read) that I loaned to my Mom, and she recently gave it back to me to re-read. Yes I am a Tony Robbins fan!! And I want to go to a live event soon - just have to make the time. And I digress . . . back to the worm - I mean "bookworm" meme . . .

So, I found the book - "Awaken the Giant Within" authored by Anthony Robbins. I opened to page 56, found the fifth sentence, and the text following is as follows:

"The answer is simple. Even though you know that all these actions would benefit you - that they could definitely bring pleasure to your life - you fail to act simply because in that moment you associate more pain to doing what's necessary than missing the opportunity. After all, what if you approached that person, and they rejected you!" (Anthony Robbins, "Awaken the Giant Within", page 56).
