I Love Reading Books
Whole day today i was curled up reading this wonderful book, One hundred names by Cecelia Ahern. Just couldn't put the book down!
Something about the story made me feel so connected to it, but i couldn't name it when i started reading it, or even when i was halfway through it. And then when i came across these lines (below), which is pretty much the gist of the story, i knew why i loved and enjoyed reading the story so much. ^^
“If you were to randomly select one hundred people from a phone directory, you would not only find a story, you would find one hundred stories, because everybody, every single person, has a story to tell. Every single ordinary person has an extraordinary story.
We might all think that we are unremarkable, that our lives are boring, just because we aren’t doing ground-breaking things or making headlines or winning awards.
But the truth is we all do something that is fascinating, that is brave, that is something we should be proud of. Every day people do things that are not celebrated. That is what we should be writing about.
The unsung heroes, the people that don’t believe they are heroes at all because they are just doing what they believe they have to do in their lives.”
