The Monk Who Sold his Ferrari

Finally I forced myself to finish reading this book. Very disappointed....
The popularity of this book is hyped so much that I was looking forward to read it. After the first 3-4 pages of the book, it could not hold my attention one bit. Thanks to my Manager, he stopped me from buying this book and let me borrow from his. Otherwise I would have cribbed as waste of money... :P

The spiritual conversations sounded more of book knowledge to me. Not much of experience essence. It was more of theoretical philosophy.... Clearly Robin Sharma didnt impress me :(

Choosing between mom and wife!!!! Why???

How many of you have heard men say "You can get another wife but not another mother"..... Huh what a profound statement, I am such an adorable human being for having stated the world's deepest truth!!!. That's what you guys think when you state this right? 
Please sit down, take deep breath in and think again!!! Ponder... May be by God's grace some light will glow...
Why do you want to choose between the two?  Some of you are managers in a company managing a team, who trust me hate you....Then Why is it so hard to love 2 people in your life who actually love you? 
I am sure you have made this statement in the presence of your beloved wife and your divine mother. Now think for a moment...Your Mom will be insecured coz she has seen you choose your wife over her, when you want to enjoy life. Be it parties, vacation, official functions, movies; ...I am sure you are with your wife and not with your mom. You have made your priorities very clear to her. When was the last time you took  your mom out for a temple, a general health check up, a vacation, ok forget just a simple walk in the park???? You may want to ask your wife the same question, I am sure she will score better. Take a look at the old age homes. Most of them are abandoned by sons, who pose to be loving sons.
On the other hand, your wife must be red alert with all the fear in heart that you may bring in someone to replace her anytime. After all you made this statement LOUD and CLEAR... Isn't it? Put yourself in her shoes, she left her home, family, friends, relatives and changed her Name just for you. I wonder how this profound truth has not been an eye opener to your wife....!!! Oh come on, going by your statement, she can find another husband but not another mom. Ideally, going by your truth, she should just go back to her parents and leave you with your loud priorities.
By the way, in future, the same truth will be applicable to your son. Your wife should be his priority. Not you or your mom. You and your mom will have to gulp this every moment...ehem...ehem...
2 insecured people asked to Live together who are both extremely possessive about you. What do you expect? peace and harmony??? You deserve to be smashed between the two. If the 2 loving people are fighting over you, its clear that you are the Moran who has miserably failed to bridge between the two. If your wife and mom are in harmony, you are the one to be the most happiest. 

Strange that you have not perceived this oblivious truth. I hope some light glows. I hope you open your heart....
