"Everything old is new again." This book, written in 1948 is perhaps even more timely today than when it was first published. In a revolving-door society of endless commitments, exhausting workdays and overwhelming family schedules, the message of living in the present is more important than ever.
Already, within the opening pages, the quotes chosen by the author have made an impact on me. I have been attempting to slow down the pace of my hectic life, to take on fewer commitments and instead to enjoy the everyday moments with my family. "This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." From the early times of the Bible, mankind has been inspired with messages such as this. People need daily reminders and frequent inspiration to remember these simple but essential truths. "Every day is a new life to a wise man."
I am hoping this book will assist me in ridding myself of the constant worry of tasks to accomplish, children to raise and a future to secure. With Dale Carnegie's insightful words, the year 2010 should be a year of peace and prosperity for my whole family.
