Inspire by example

A couple of weeks ago we were in a visit to the book fair with few of my friends and we passed by the human development section in one of the book stores, so my friend just kept looking at them and said .... "I want to burn all this section .. i want to let people not waste money on this useless stuff" the thing is i didn't want to argue with him but at the same time i just stopped by myself and asked it did really these stuff help me or not ?

All am gonna try to do in these few lines is to think loudly about this issue; did reading the 7 habits change my life or who moved my cheese ... well i guess yes, but not forever they were just like a momentary action it took me weeks to just keep repeating their pinky world and quotes but it didn't last forever, the thing is about these stuff is that it brings you great motivation and slowly steal it away from you.

I remember now the major changes in my life weren't gained from these books but more with inspiration by real life stories that i saw around me which helped me to become what i am now.

These days am really thinking of a new method of human development far beyond the theoretical part all the writers follow or think about they just keep giving advices .. it's nice but won't be effective i want to develop something called inspire by example it's a method for teaching human development but using success stories i think doing this is much more effective than developing science that can be boring and i want to make it in an indirect way, i mean i won't be telling the student you're learning human development, i'll be telling him i'm just narrating a nice story and eventually he'll be inspired by the story in a way or another.

Anyway the most important thing to end the battle about self help books .. is that we need to call them help yourself books because no body can change if he/she don't have the will to do so whether with a book or without one and whatever method they're gonna use .. it's just the will of change that moves us forward.
