The Prostitute's Daughter or The Runaway Daughter by Juliet Philip

The book is originally known as "The Runaway Daughter". "The Prostitute's Daughter" is the version which is released in India.

Here are my thoughts about the book

1. Everybody wants to fall in love... And once in love, people want to jump out of it.

2. What is the point in asking for another slice of bread or a warm hug when there aren't any to be had?

3. Encouraging word scan make such an I start and lasting impression.

4. Questioning the Collins might reveal and identity we're better off not knowing.

5. The right choice is the best decision you can make for yourself at any given time. It may not turn out as you hoped, but it is the best you could do at that point in your life.

6. There are not right or wrong decisions.

7. Your decisions are progressions to your passions.

8. Boredom is by far the worst enemy known to man.

9. Perhaps the snake never intended to become a snake; Mother nature made it a slithering snake.

10. It's very easy to feel like a victim.

11. Love cab be magical, found in an instant and feel like it is meant to be forever from the start.

12. Love does not need compromise and sacrifice.

Who Moved My Cheese by Dr. Spencer Johnson

Hooray for change....

This is how I felt about this book: Who Moved My Cheese by Dr. Spencer Johnson

Handwritings on the wall:
********************************

1. Having cheese makes you happy.

2. The more important your cheese is to you the more you want to hold on to it.

3. If you do not change, You can become extinct.

4. What do you do if you weren't afraid?

5. Smell the cheese often so you know when it is getting old.

6. Movement in a new direction helps you find new cheese.

7. When you move beyond your fear, you feel free.

8. Imagining myself enjoying new cheese even before i find it, leads me to it.

9.. The quicker you let go of old cheese, the sooner you find new cheese.

10. It is safer to search in the maze than remain in a cheesless situation.

11. Old beliefs do not lead you to new cheese.

12. When you see that you can find and enjoy new cheese, you change course.

13. Noticing small changes early helps you adapt to the bigger changes that are to come.

14. Move with the cheese and enjoy!


Other notable lines:

1. "...we resist changes because we're afraid of change."

2. Better late than never.

3. The fear you let build up in your mind is worse than the situation that actually exists.

4. "...the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly..."

5. A change imposed is a change opposed.

6. See what you're doing wrong, laugh at it, change and do better.

Older people always carry a lot of experience behind them and that is reflected in their words and actions."

"There is nothing more lucrative foe a woman than a husband caught red-handed. You could rule veer for the rest of your life."

"...if girls were not narrated stories of a prince rescuing the damsels in distress, they would not have waited for miracles to happen but instead been a little more realistic."

"It is always the unseen which is more consequential than the seen."

"With passion you never cease to grow..."

• Everything is possible. The impossible just takes longer.
• Many hands make light work.
• Hiroshima, 8:15 a.m. August 6, 1945—a vile act of destruction. A senseless display of power by a country that had already won the war. 
• You can’t jump for the stars if your feet hurt, her aunt had once told her.
•  And when you get where you’re going, you darn well better look great!
• There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
•  Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Who will guard the guards?
•  Act first, explain later.
•  Child psychology only works on children.
• There are always other options!
• Force a hand, and it will fight you. But convince and mind to think as you want it to think, an you have an ally
• All the pieces in the game had shifted.
• The human mind is the fastest computer in existence.
• I’m a survivor—but survivals nothing without honor. I’d rather die than live in the shadow of disgrace.

            I love you.
                  Without wax, David.
