New album
I am hearing a lot about U2's new album " No Line On the Horizon". I have not heard any songs of the album, but heard about the album, on the radio. The Rolling Stone magazine calls the album the best in last 18 years.
My observation
My reading habit for the year 2009, seems to be going good, since I have read almost 5 books in the last 3 months. I recently was reading an autobiography. I wish not to disclose the name. To be honest, I just love AUTOBIOGRAPHIES. There are just unparalleled. I learn loads, from autobiographies of great people. So I wish to read as many as I can.
Recently I completed one such autobiography, of a very impressive personality. I enjoyed the book thoroughly no doubts about it. But it was a line, in one of the chapter, which literally puzzled me.
The author goes on to write, quoting that, he himself has an indentation towards aiming high, achieving high and being a great performer.
The only thing which came to my mind was that, is the author boasting? I always feel, its for others to judge whether a person is a high performer or not. (after reading the book)
After all, its the author's book, he can write whatever he may want. After reading the book, I hoped to get a feeling of appreciation towards the author, thinking him as a great achiever.
But in between if he tends to quote himself as a high achiever, doesn't that look a bit weird. Or may be I have not read many autobiographies. There may be other persons who would like to openly proclaim that they are high achievers.
I do not know.
